Melasma-treatment at Grace Skincare Clinic

Are you suffering from melasma? What causes melasma? What is the fastest and most effective way to treat melasma? Are you looking for a solution for melasma?

Let join Grace Skincare Clinic today for valuable medical advice from Dermatologist Hun Kim Thao.

Melasma has been a terrible nightmare to many people, especially women. Nowadays there are several solutions for melasma.

However, to decide which method is suitable to bring the best and fastest results, you will need consultation from professional dermatologists. More complicated as it seems, melasma is not merely brown or black spots on the skin. It can actually be a symptom of many different diseases or conditions.

Dermatologist Hun Kim Thao would help you to understand more about melasma and provide instructions in treatment to achieve the highest effectiveness as possible based on her medical experiences.

Causes of melasma

According to Dr. Hun Kim Thao, the causes of melasma are unclear and complicated. However, several factors might increase the risk of melasma, including:

  • Sun exposure, which is a main cause of melasma but also really difficult to avoid
  • Internal factors, including contraception and pregnancy
  • Certain kinds of cosmetics, especially those containing corticosteroids. Scented or deodorant soaps and toiletries can also lead to an adverse reaction that causes long-lasting melasma
  • Thyroid diseases

In fact, melasma occurs when melanin is overproduced by melanocytes, which are absorbed by keratinocyte cells in the epidermis or dermis. The common symptoms of melasma on the skin include large patches of dark brown, light brown, or light blue color. However, melasma is generally divided into three types:

  • Shallow melasma (concentrated in the epidermis): with clear borders and dark brown color
  • Deep melasma (concentrated in the dermis): unclear borders, pale brown or pale green color
  • Mixed melasma: a combination of two forms above but with visible dark brown spots and uneven color patches.

Determining the cause of melasma is crucial in providing appropriate treatment options. Depending on the skin condition of each patient, the doctor must properly build and carefully apply a treatment regimen. Regardless of the cause of melasma, the patient, if aiming for treatment effectiveness, should not treat it themselves without doctor consultation.

According to Dr. Thao, treatment of melasma or pigmentation problems such as freckles, age spots, and such, you can eliminate them thanks to the latest and strongest technology available today – Alma Q. Alma Q is one of those rare technologies which have been certified by FDA&CE dual standards. As a dermatologist with more than 15,000 successful treatments, Dr. Thao was really surprised by Alma Q’s strength and quality.

Unlike older equipment which sometimes requires patients to take a break time between treatments, Alma Q shortens the course of treatment by concentrating treatment on specific body parts that need to be treated to help clear blotches effectively on each treatment.

The main element contributing to the successful treatment of melasma, dark patches, and mixed melasma at Grace Skincare Clinic is the combination of high-quality technology and skilled dermatologists. Dermatologist Hun Kim Thao advises that for effective and safe treatment, you should treat melasma directly with an experienced dermatologist instead of going to the unqualified beauty spa based on misleading advertising.

7 reasons why you should treat your pigmentation problems at Grace Skincare Clinic

Complete treatment Dark-color patches and freckles are eliminated quickly thanks to the strongest Alma Q technology

With the Q-Switched laser mode, the high wavelength of 1064nm allows deep penetration into the dermis where melanin and freckles lie and remove them lightly without any pain while ensuring the safety of the surrounding skin. You can imagine the power of this mode can completely remove “artificial pigments” – dark-color tattoos in a few treatments without leaving a scar and overcome many problems of pigmentation and aging at the same time.

Improvement on uneven skin tone, melasma, and dark pigmentation

Combining the effects of short and long wavelength, Alma Q helps to lighten skin tone, improve uneven color, and treat dark color patches effectively.

Skin rejuvenation, collagen regeneration

Alma Q stimulates the regeneration of collagen for the skin re-structure process, firms the skin, tightens pores, brightens skin, increases elasticity, and treats acne scars. Your skin will be smooth and healthy after finishing the course.

Shorter treatment time compared to other technologies

Even though varying based on cases, it normally takes 2-3 treatments before skin condition will be significantly improved, bringing confidence and inspiration for patients.

High precision and safety

Alma-Q allows the safe effect to each micro-point on the skin and enables unique depth control for precise and accurate treatment without damaging other skin areas even for thin and delicate skin.

Direct treatment from Dermatologist Hun Kim Thao

Dr. Thao has 12 years of experience and 15,000 successful treatment cases. 90% of her patients were satisfied with the first treatment.

No need for convalescence between treatments

No pain, no side effects, no invasive methods.

With effective treatment with Alma-Q – the latest light technology at Grace Skincare Clinic, you don‘t need to worry about melasma, freckles, age spots, or any other pigmentation problems. After a cause of melasma treatment at Grace Skincare Clinic, you will have healthy skin from inside out without any sign of melasma, together with complete confidence in your silky and strong skin that is totally worth your money.

I received acne facial and peel every other week and the service was superb! Each procedure was well explained and Dr.Thao was very attentive. I loved her holistic way of approach to improve patient's skin. Not only she prescribed very effective acne gel but also shared great tips such as reducing the amount of simple carb intake, cutting down sugar, and most importantly highlighting the importance of getting enough sleep. She even recommended a well known doctor in town who could help me with my sleeping problem. In addition, the price was very reasonable and I was very happy with all the service I got from Grace Skin Clinic. Oh Dr. Thao even asked her staff to make me a cup of tea one day as she she thought I looked overly exhausted. I was very moved. How warm hearted she is! I will definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to check up their skin and improve their skin. Amazing place!"

Youngjoo Shin – Expat living in HCM 

This place is amazing; they help me improve my terrible skin condition which had affected my identity, and my confidence for many years. I have been visiting Grace Clinic during summer time for the past two years, and every time I am here, they create a different program in order to fit my skin condition and my limited time. Furthermore, people from Grace Clinic always greet me with warm hearts. They once invited me to have boba tea with them which made me no longer feel like a customer but a friend which it has created a friendship overtime. I cannot stress how highly I would recommend this place. Again, they are amazing and very professional. There is one thing, you can do walk-in just fine but it would be better if you schedule the appointment so they can prepare and create the best service for you.

I absolutely love the ladies of Grace Skincare. I was staying in Saigon for 6 months and came here with acne and a congested skin from my travels. So happy I found them! Their prices are reasonable compared to other “expat” clinic that I went to. I bought the 10 facial package for a really good price and am really happy with the result of my skin after following all of their consultations. Acne has cleared up and now we’re focusing on my other skin concerns such as dark spots and hyperpigmentation. I highly recommend this clinic. They truly want you to walk out with skin you feel confident in. I’m going to miss this place and the ladies I got to connect with during my time here.   Amazing results · Expert facials · Great deals · Professional products ·Licensed skin care professional · Experienced skin care professionals

Deanna Hong – HCMC, Yoga Instructor

Hey guys it’s been 3 weeks since we came for our treatment. I can honestly say it’s the best I have had done.  Andrew and I look fresh without being overdone. We both had people say how refreshed we look after our holiday. Honestly they wouldn’t be saying that if they knew how much beer and yummy Vietnamese food we consumed when we were there. I can honestly say Andrew and I will be back. And I am telling all my friends how fantastic you guys are and how professional the consultation was. I have yet to find someone in Australia who is so thorough. Thank you, Kylie

Ms Kylie, HCMC, tourist

I had a acne treatment here last month and now it's improved a lot. I must say that this place is very professional, modern equipment, especially the thoughtful doctor! I'm impressed!  

Ms Nana, HCMC, tourist

Grace Skincare Clinic has a great and friendly service and that have a centrally located clinic. I highly recommend them!

Alexis Linh Ly, HCMC- Business Owner

The owners are wonderful people. I had a good experience and can sincerely and highly recommend everything about Grace Skincare Clinic!

Sandra Menhart – New York, NY, Visiting Profesor

I was so embarrassed with the scars and pigmentation marks on my face. These are from old sports injuries and harsh products on my legs from childhood accidents. I am fed up with using so much concealer makeup on my face and am never able to wear a skirt with confidence. I heard about the Grace Skincare Clinic pigmentation lightening treatment from a friend.  I took 6 treatments & used skincare product as Dr. Thao  instructed  and now my skin is beautiful and permanently clear. It was worth every penny.

Laura May

as Tet is coming, I highly recommend this place for a weekend retreat, skin detoxing or even an urgent package to soothe and smooth your skin. I got back my healthy skin after just 02 week following the instruction of Dr Thao Hun and it cost me 200,000 for medical consultation fee only. Wonderful!
