World-renowned dermatologist Dr. Davin Lim recently visited the Philippines for the second time for the 1st Melasma Forum, where he shared groundbreaking advancements in melasma treatment. Known for his expertise in pigmentation disorders, Dr. Davin Lim described melasma as a “unique skin disorder” that presents exciting opportunities for innovation in care.
Dr. Davin Lim emphasized that melasma is often diagnosed based on its distinct clinical patterns and patient history. Factors like sun and UV exposure significantly influence melasma, making skin protection a critical aspect of management.
When treating melasma, it’s essential to understand the biology of the skin, particularly in patients with darker skin tones. According to Dr. Davin Lim, using precise laser or proper radiofrequency settings ensures melasma treatments are both safe and effective.
The Role of PicoSure® Pro & Potenza in Melasma Treatment
Cynosure’s PicoSure® Pro has revolutionized melasma treatment. Dr. Davin Lim explained that this cutting-edge technology delivers powerful energy in ultra-short bursts, targeting pigmentation without generating heat and damaging the surrounding skin. Using PicoSure® Pro in treating melasma is safer and faster compared to traditional lasers.
With PicoSure® Pro, melasma can be cleared more efficiently, offering patients a quicker path to better skin.
Dr. Davin Lim highlighted the Potenza RF microneedling system as another innovative tool for managing melasma. Potenza remodels the deeper layers of the skin, addressing the root causes of pigmentation. Its fusion tip allows active ingredients to penetrate deep into the skin, maximizing their effectiveness.

For stubborn or recurring melasma cases, Dr. Davin Lim recommended combining different approaches to achieve better results. He stressed the importance of using sunscreen to ensure adequate sun protection, along with dermatologist-prescribed pigment correctors to help manage pigmentation. Advanced devices like PicoSure® Pro and Potenza work together to remodel the skin and enhance treatment outcomes, offering an effective solution for challenging cases.
To maintain long-term remission in melasma patients, Dr. Davin Lim shared strategies including the consistent use of sun protection and minimizing UV and heat exposure are crucial. Incorporating anti-aging treatments, such as topicals, injectables, and energy-based devices, further supports overall skin health and helps sustain results.
For melasma patients dealing with other skin conditions like acne or rosacea, Dr. Lim recommended first focusing on restoring the skin’s health. This creates a strong foundation for successful melasma treatment. Additionally, addressing vascular factors, which often contribute to melasma, is essential. Energy-based devices like lasers can effectively target vascularity, improving outcomes and reducing the chances of recurrence.
Dr. Davin Lim’s insights highlight the importance of using advanced technologies like PicoSure® Pro and Potenza for treating melasma. These devices not only target pigmentation but also address underlying skin issues, ensuring safer and longer-lasting results. By combining expert care, cutting-edge treatments, and proper skin maintenance, melasma patients can achieve clearer, healthier skin.
