Even Skin Is
Possible.
Here's How.
Melasma and hyperpigmentation are among the most mismanaged skin conditions in Brampton - and among the most transformative to treat correctly. At Glamore Beauty Bar Skin & Laser Clinic, we use a precise, multi-layered approach built around your specific pigmentation type, depth, and skin tone.

Why Pigmentation
Is So Hard
to Treat.
Melasma and hyperpigmentation aren't one condition - they're several, often layered on top of each other. Melasma sits deep in the dermis and is driven by hormonal hypersensitivity. Sun damage sits closer to the surface. Post-inflammatory marks live in the mid-epidermis. Each requires a different approach.
The most common reason pigmentation treatments fail is because the wrong modality was applied to the wrong type of pigmentation. A laser perfectly suited to sun spots can trigger a severe melasma flare. A peel too aggressive for deeper skin tones can cause post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation worse than what was there before.
At Glamore Beauty Bar Skin & Laser Clinic in Brampton, we identify exactly what we're treating before we treat it - and build a protocol that addresses your specific pigmentation safely and precisely.
Not All Discoloration
Is the Same.
Melasma
Hormonal, symmetrical patches - typically on the cheeks, forehead, and upper lip. Driven by hormonal sensitivity and aggravated by UV and heat. Requires the gentlest, most targeted approach.
Sun Damage
Flat brown spots from cumulative UV exposure over time. Typically the most responsive to laser treatment and responds faster than hormonal pigmentation.
Post-Inflammatory (PIH)
Dark or red marks left after a breakout, scratch, or procedure. Fades with consistent cell turnover support and anti-inflammatory treatment.
Mixed Pigmentation
The most common presentation - two or more types layered together. Requires a carefully sequenced multi-modality plan that addresses each layer without triggering the others.
A Layered Approach
for Lasting Results.
No single treatment resolves all pigmentation. At Glamore Beauty Bar Skin & Laser Clinic, we combine and sequence modalities based on your pigmentation type, depth, skin tone, and treatment history - nothing is applied without a clear clinical reason.
ND:YAG Laser
The ND:YAG laser is one of the safest and most effective laser options for pigmentation in darker skin tones. Its longer wavelength bypasses the upper epidermis and targets melanin at a deeper level - breaking down excess pigment without the heat risk that can trigger further darkening in melanin-rich skin.
At Glamore Beauty Bar Skin & Laser Clinic, ND:YAG is our first-line laser recommendation for clients with deeper skin tones presenting with sun damage, PIH, or mixed pigmentation.
Pico Laser
Picosecond laser technology delivers ultra-short pulses of energy that shatter pigment particles into microscopic fragments - without generating the heat that traditional lasers produce. This makes Pico laser particularly effective for stubborn pigmentation that has not responded to other treatments, and significantly safer for sensitive or reactive skin.
The precision of Pico technology allows us to target specific pigmentation deposits while leaving surrounding tissue completely undisturbed - a level of accuracy that was not possible with older laser systems.
Microneedling With Purasomes™
For pigmentation clients - particularly those with melasma - microneedling combined with Purasomes™ exosome therapy addresses something that lasers and peels alone cannot: the inflammatory cellular environment that drives melanin overproduction.
Purasomes™ deliver powerful anti-inflammatory signals directly to the melanocytes through the microchannels created by the needles - calming the overactivity that causes melasma to persist and return. This makes microneedling with Purasomes™ one of our most important tools for long-term melasma management at Glamore Beauty Bar Skin & Laser Clinic.
Medical-Grade Chemical Peels
Not all peels are appropriate for pigmentation - and the wrong peel on the wrong skin can cause significant damage. At Glamore Beauty Bar Skin & Laser Clinic, our peel selection for pigmentation clients is always clinically deliberate, using only medical-grade formulations designed specifically for depigmentation.
We use the MeLine® depigmentation system - one of the most respected clinical peel protocols for melasma and hyperpigmentation globally - in combination with a prescribed at-home maintenance protocol for sustained results between sessions.
The MeLine®
Depigmentation System.
MeLine® is a globally recognised medical-grade depigmentation protocol - one of the most clinically validated systems available for melasma and hyperpigmentation treatment. At Glamore Beauty Bar Skin & Laser Clinic in Brampton, we are proud to offer both of MeLine®'s signature protocols, selected based on your skin tone and pigmentation profile.
What makes MeLine® different from standard chemical peels is its multi-target approach - simultaneously inhibiting melanin production at several stages of the pigmentation pathway, not just accelerating surface exfoliation. Combined with a clinician-prescribed homecare maintenance protocol, MeLine® delivers some of the most consistent and lasting depigmentation results we have seen in clinical practice.
MeLine® Caucasian Melasma Peel
Formulated for Fitzpatrick skin types I-III. A targeted depigmentation peel that addresses melasma and sun-related pigmentation in lighter skin tones with a carefully controlled exfoliation and brightening protocol.
- Targets active melasma and sun spots
- Multi-stage melanin inhibition
- Paired with prescribed MeLine® homecare
- Results build progressively over sessions
MeLine® Ethnic Melasma Peel
Specifically formulated for Fitzpatrick skin types IV-VI - darker skin tones that require a gentler, more controlled depigmentation approach to avoid post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. A protocol designed with melanin-rich skin as the priority, not an afterthought.
- Safe and effective for deeper skin tones
- Addresses melasma without triggering PIH
- Lower risk of rebound hyperpigmentation
- Paired with prescribed MeLine® homecare
What You Do at Home
Matters Just as Much.
In-clinic treatments do the heavy lifting - but without the right homecare, pigmentation will return. At Glamore Beauty Bar Skin & Laser Clinic, every pigmentation client receives a prescribed homecare protocol tailored to their skin and treatment plan.
Depigmenting Serums
Medical-grade serums containing actives such as tranexamic acid, niacinamide, kojic acid, and azelaic acid - prescribed based on your specific pigmentation type and treatment phase.
These are not over-the-counter brightening products. They are clinician-prescribed formulations that work synergistically with your in-clinic treatments.
Prescribed at your consultation - not available without assessment.MeLine® Home Protocol
Clients undergoing MeLine® in-clinic treatment receive the corresponding MeLine® homecare system - a multi-step protocol that extends and maintains the depigmentation effect between sessions.
Without the homecare component, MeLine® in-clinic results are significantly reduced. The two work as a system, not separately.
Included as part of your MeLine® treatment plan at Glamore Beauty Bar Skin & Laser Clinic.SPF 50+ - Non-Negotiable
Sun protection is the single most important homecare step for any pigmentation client. Without broad-spectrum SPF 50 applied daily and reapplied throughout the day, no clinical treatment will produce lasting results.
We recommend mineral SPF for melasma clients specifically - chemical sunscreens can generate mild heat on the skin surface which may aggravate melanocyte activity.
We will recommend specific SPF products suited to your skin type at your consultation.We Treat All
Skin Tones.
Safely.
Brampton is one of the most diverse cities in Canada - and at Glamore Beauty Bar Skin & Laser Clinic, we treat clients across the full spectrum of skin tones every single day. We do not apply a one-size treatment approach. Every protocol is selected and adjusted for your Fitzpatrick skin type.
Pigmentation treatment in deeper skin tones requires specific clinical knowledge that not every provider has. The wrong laser setting, the wrong peel strength, or the wrong sequencing can cause post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that is worse than the original concern. This is something we take extremely seriously.
How We Keep Your Skin Safe
- Full Fitzpatrick skin type assessment at every consultation
- ND:YAG laser selected specifically for its safety profile in deeper tones
- MeLine® Ethnic protocol for Fitzpatrick IV-VI melasma clients
- Pico laser used for precision targeting with minimal thermal risk
- Skin preparation phase prescribed before laser where appropriate
- Patch testing performed before new treatments on reactive skin
- Anti-inflammatory support built into every protocol
- Conservative first sessions with gradual progression
Why This Work
Matters to Me.
Melasma and hyperpigmentation clients carry something heavier than just a skin concern. Many of them have spent years trying treatment after treatment, spending significant money, and feeling like nothing works - or worse, that something made it worse.
In Brampton, where so many of our clients have melanin-rich skin that has been historically underserved by aesthetic medicine, getting this right is not just a clinical responsibility. It's a personal one.
When I build a pigmentation protocol at Glamore Beauty Bar Skin & Laser Clinic, I start from a place of understanding the biology deeply - what triggers this condition, what aggravates it, what genuinely calms it. And I build a plan that respects your skin tone as a clinical variable, not an afterthought.
Even, healthy skin is possible. We've seen it happen for our clients here in Brampton - and we would love to help you get there.

What Happens
at Glamore.
Free Consultation & Pigmentation Assessment
We assess your pigmentation type, depth, skin tone, hormonal history, and treatment history. This is where we identify exactly what we're treating - before recommending anything.
Skin Preparation If Needed
Some clients benefit from a preparation phase using prescribed homecare products before in-clinic treatment begins - improving both safety and results, particularly before laser sessions.
Your Customised Protocol
We sequence your treatments deliberately - combining modalities that work together without triggering each other. Your plan is adjusted at every visit based on how your skin is responding.
Homecare Protocol
You leave every session with a clear, simple homecare protocol that supports and extends your in-clinic results. SPF guidance, prescribed actives, and MeLine® homecare where applicable.
Ongoing Management & Maintenance
Pigmentation - particularly melasma - is a condition that requires ongoing management. We stay with you beyond your initial treatment plan, adjusting your protocol with the seasons, hormonal changes, and life.
What You
Want to Know.
Yes - and often dramatically. Melasma is a chronic condition, meaning it can be managed beautifully but the underlying hormonal sensitivity doesn't disappear. With the right clinical protocol and consistent sun protection, most clients achieve skin that looks clear and even. At Glamore Beauty Bar Skin & Laser Clinic, we will give you an honest picture of what is realistic for your specific pigmentation at your consultation.
This is one of the most common things we hear at Glamore Beauty Bar Skin & Laser Clinic - and it almost always comes down to the wrong laser being used for the wrong type of pigmentation. Certain lasers generate heat that triggers melasma to flare significantly. The ND:YAG and Pico lasers we use are selected specifically because of their safer thermal profile - particularly for melanin-rich skin and melasma clients.
Yes - when performed by a clinician experienced in treating melanin-rich skin. At Glamore Beauty Bar Skin & Laser Clinic in Brampton, we treat diverse skin tones every day. We use the MeLine® Ethnic protocol and ND:YAG laser specifically because of their established safety profiles for darker skin. We will never recommend a treatment we are not confident is safe for your specific skin tone.
Sun damage and PIH treated to completion generally stay clear with proper sun protection. Melasma can return - particularly with hormonal changes, unprotected sun exposure, or heat exposure. This is why we build every melasma client a long-term management plan, not just an initial treatment course. Ongoing maintenance is what keeps results lasting.
ND:YAG delivers laser energy in nanosecond pulses and is particularly valued for its safety in darker skin tones - its wavelength targets melanin effectively without excessive surface heat. Pico laser delivers energy in picosecond pulses - much shorter and faster - which shatters pigment particles more precisely with even less thermal risk. Pico is particularly effective for stubborn or deep pigmentation. The right choice depends on your specific pigmentation and skin type, which we assess at your consultation.
This depends on your pigmentation type, depth, and chosen protocol. Superficial sun damage and PIH can show visible improvement within a few weeks of initial treatment. Melasma is more gradual - meaningful improvement typically builds over two to four months of consistent treatment and homecare. We track your progress at every visit and will always be honest about how your skin is responding.
For pigmentation - yes, genuinely. In-clinic treatments address what's there. Homecare prevents it from returning and extends the results of every session. For melasma specifically, the MeLine® homecare protocol is an integral part of the treatment system - not an optional add-on. We will never prescribe products you don't need, but for pigmentation clients, homecare is clinical, not cosmetic.
ND:YAG and Pico laser treatments typically have minimal downtime - some redness and mild sensitivity for 24 to 48 hours. Pigmentation may appear temporarily darker in the days following laser treatment before it lightens - this is a normal part of the process called oxidation. We will walk you through exactly what to expect after your specific treatment at Glamore Beauty Bar Skin & Laser Clinic.
