At Hi Beautiful Aesthetics, we understand how frustrating and stubborn melasma can be. Unlike typical pigmentation, melasma requires a more advanced and targeted approach—which is why our Enlighten Peel is one of our go-to treatments for achieving a clearer, more even complexion.

What is Melasma?
Melasma is a common skin condition that causes dark, patchy discoloration, typically appearing on areas like:
Cheeks
Forehead
Upper lip
Chin
It often presents as symmetrical brown or gray-brown patches and is more common in women.
What Causes Melasma?
Melasma is triggered by a combination of internal and external factors, including:
Hormonal changes (pregnancy, birth control, hormone therapy)
Sun exposure (UV rays stimulate pigment production)
Heat and inflammation
Genetics
Because melasma is influenced by hormones and deeper pigment activity, it’s not something that can be treated effectively with just surface-level products.
Why Melasma is Difficult to Treat
Melasma forms in the deeper layers of the skin, making it more resistant to traditional facials or light peels. It can also easily return if not treated correctly or if proper maintenance isn’t followed.
That’s why choosing the right treatment—and provider—is essential.
How the Enlighten Peel Works
The Enlighten Peel is a medical-grade depigmentation treatment specifically designed to target stubborn pigmentation like melasma at its source.
What Makes It Different?
Unlike basic chemical peels, the Enlighten Peel:
Inhibits melanin production (prevents new pigment from forming)
Breaks down existing pigmentation
Works at a deeper level of the skin
Includes a full system approach (in-office peel + at-home regimen)
This combination allows for more effective and long-lasting results compared to traditional treatments.
The Treatment Process
The Enlighten Peel is a multi-step system, not just a one-time treatment.
Step 1: In-Office Application
A specialized peel solution is applied to penetrate deeply into the skin and begin the depigmentation process.
Step 2: At-Home Protocol
Clients continue with a customized skincare regimen designed to:
Enhance results
Control pigment production
Support skin healing
Step 3: Peeling & Renewal
Within a few days, your skin will begin to peel, revealing a brighter, more even-toned complexion underneath.

Maintaining Your Results
Melasma management doesn’t stop after one treatment—it requires consistency and proper care.
Daily SPF is Essential
Sun exposure is the #1 trigger for melasma. Wearing a broad-spectrum SPF every day is critical to maintaining your results.
Follow Your Skincare Routine
Using the recommended at-home products helps keep pigment production under control and prolongs your results.
Avoid Excess Heat
Activities that cause excessive heat (like saunas or intense sun exposure) can trigger melasma flare-ups.
Schedule Maintenance Treatments
Depending on your skin, periodic treatments may be recommended to keep pigmentation under control.
