Melasma Clearing Programme in Harrow
Melasma is a complex and often recurring form of pigmentation influenced by factors that extend beyond the surface of the skin. At Medcura in Harrow, our Melasma Clearing Programme takes a comprehensive, holistic approach combining advanced in-clinic treatments with prescription skincare, nutritional support, lifestyle guidance and ongoing aftercare.
We don’t simply focus on visible pigmentation. Our approach considers the wider factors that may influence melasma, with the aim of improving existing pigmentation while supporting the skin against future recurrence.

What the Programme Includes
The Melasma Clearing Programme brings together your in-clinic treatment and at-home care within one structured plan, giving your skin consistent support throughout the programme.
Four Melasma Treatment Sessions
A carefully planned combination of advanced treatments, which may include microneedling, injectable therapies, skin boosters and controlled TCA peels. Each session is tailored to your skin and pigmentation response.
Prescription Obagi Skincare
A comprehensive prescription-grade Obagi skincare regime is provided to help regulate pigmentation, support treatment results and maintain progress between appointments.
Nutritional & Supplement Support
Our approach extends beyond the skin. Targeted supplementation and nutritional guidance are incorporated to support overall skin health and address relevant lifestyle and nutritional factors that may contribute to pigmentation.
Personalised Diet Guide & Aftercare
You’ll receive tailored dietary and lifestyle guidance alongside a complete aftercare plan, helping you understand potential triggers and support your results throughout and beyond the programme.
“One skincare kit and one supplement course worth over £700 together are included in the programme.”
Is the Melasma Clearing Programme Right for You?
Not all pigmentation is melasma. Sun damage, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and other forms of pigmentation can appear similar but require different approaches.
Your consultation therefore begins with a detailed assessment to identify your pigmentation pattern and determine whether the Melasma Clearing Programme is appropriate for your skin.
Suitable For
- Brown or grey-brown patches on the cheeks, forehead, or upper lip
- Melasma linked to pregnancy, contraception, or hormonal changes
- Pigmentation that keeps returning after creams or peels
- Melasma in Asian skin (types III and IV) one of our specialisms
Not Suitable If
- You are currently pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have an active skin infection near the treatment area
- You are taking or have recently stopped the acne medication isotretinoin (Roaccutane)
- You aren’t able to commit to daily SPF without it, melasma treatment doesn’t hold
What Changes Across the Programme
Melasma doesn’t fade evenly or overnight. What you’ll notice first is less inflammation, then gradual lightening, then a more even tone as the course progresses.
Visible Improvement From the First Session
Most clients notice a difference after their first session, with results building across the course.
Progressively Lighter Pigmentation
Pigment activity is reduced at multiple skin depths, so patches become lighter and less defined with each session.
Reduced Risk of Recurrence
The prescription skincare, supplements and diet plan address the internal triggers hormonal activity and liver function that cause melasma to return after surface-only treatment.
Realistic, Honest Expectations
The programme can improve melasma by up to 90% but results are not guaranteed, and depend on consistent SPF use and aftercare. Melasma is a managed condition, not a one-off fix, and we’ll always tell you honestly what your skin can achieve.
Why Choose Medcura for Melasma?
Melasma requires more than simply treating the pigment you can see. Hormonal influences, sun exposure, inflammation and other individual factors can all contribute to its persistence and recurrence. Our approach therefore considers both the skin and the wider factors that may influence it.
Medcura has particular experience treating melasma and pigmentation in Asian and darker skin tones, where treatment selection requires careful consideration. We do not routinely use laser or heat-based treatments for melasma due to the potential for irritation and worsening pigmentation in susceptible skin.
By combining carefully selected clinical treatments with prescription skincare, nutritional and lifestyle support, our Melasma Clearing Programme provides a comprehensive approach focused not only on improving pigmentation, but on supporting its long-term management.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from the single-session melasma facial?
The single session combines the same clinical techniques in one visit. The programme adds three further sessions plus the prescription skincare, supplements and diet plan treating the internal causes, which is what stops melasma coming back.
Why don't you use laser for melasma?
Laser can make melasma worse heat can trigger rebound pigmentation, returning darker than before, especially in skin types III and IV. We correct melasma with combination treatments that don’t carry that risk.
Will my melasma come back?
Melasma is a managed condition it can return if its internal triggers flare or SPF lapses. The programme is designed to reduce recurrence by treating those triggers, and daily SPF afterwards protects your results.
Is the programme suitable for darker skin?
Yes, melasma in Asian skin (types III and IV) is one of our specialisms, and the no-laser approach exists precisely to treat these skin types safely.
Do I need to buy anything else during the programme?
No, the Obagi skincare kit and supplement course are included. Daily SPF is essential, and we’ll recommend the right one.
