The Clear Skin of Your Dreams
If you develop dark spots on your skin, it could be a condition called melasma. Quinn Aesthetic Center can assess your complexion, advise you regarding treatment options, and counsel you throughout the process. To get relief and treatment from Melasma Kansas City area locals and guests are encouraged to contact one of our representatives. Conveniently located in Leawood, Quinn Aesthetic Center welcomes patients from nearby Missouri, Overland Park, Grandview, and the greater Kansas City region.
Eliminate Patchy Dark Spots
Melasma is a darkening of the skin that occurs in patches. It can affect both genders, but the American Academy of Dermatology estimates that a staggering 90% of those affected by melasma are women. Pregnancy tends to exacerbate the onset and persistence of the condition. Hormonal changes can trigger a form of melasma known as chloasma, or “the mask of pregnancy.” To treat the unsightly presence of dark skin spots, consult with an expert at Quinn Aesthetic Center. The skin contains cells that provide pigmentation to our complexion. These are called melanocytes due to their role in the production of melanin.[1] When melanocytes are overstimulated, they can create an abundance of dark spots. This is melasma.
The sun’s UV rays tend to excite melanocytes. You should make a habit of protecting your skin from direct sunlight. Wear a high SPF sunblock and protective headwear when venturing outside. Melasma most commonly manifests on the forehead, so pay special attention to shielding that area when you embark on a skincare regimen.
A Bright, Even Complexion
Effectively treating your melasma can restore your bright, even skin tone. We offer a broad range of treatments to ensure you reach optimal results, including chemical peels, Hydroquinone, Kojic Acid, Vitamin C, SPF, and other solutions. The treatments we offer remove or lighten excess pigment in the skin to reduce or eliminate blotchy discoloration. Many of the treatments we offer can be combined for enhanced effects, or may be used to treat multiple concerns. For example, Quinn Aesthetic Center can perform a chemical peel to address your ongoing issues with melasma, age spots, sun damage, or scar tissue, among other skin issues you may be experiencing.
Finding the Right Solution For You
You may be eligible for Kansas City melasma treatment if you struggle with discolorations or blotches on your skin. Melasma treatment is generally a safe and effective solution for patients who are dedicated to maintaining their treatment plan. Pregnant women are especially vulnerable to the occurrence of melasma due to the hormonal changes that accompany pregnancy. Women who take birth control may also develop melasma as a side effect of the medication. The hormones most closely associated with the existence of melasma are progesterone and estrogen. While patients who are pregnant may be able to reduce the severity of their melasma during their pregnancy, some treatment options may need to be postponed until after pregnancy. Please contact Quinn Aesthetic Center and schedule an appointment at your earliest convenience.
Tailor-Made Solutions
During your individualized consultation, we will assess your condition and formulate a plan accordingly. Melasma affects every person differently, so the treatment options will vary from person to person. We treat Melasma in a number of different ways, depending on your skin tone and the severity of the condition.
If the aforementioned skin treatments fail to lighten the blotches clouding your complexion, you may require a more comprehensive approach.
Skin resurfacing targets the outer layers of skin, removing damaged or discolored skin cells to reveal brighter, healthier, more even skin beneath. We offer personalized chemical peels and laser skin resurfacing for the most comprehensive skin benefits.
When you arrive at our Leawood, Kansas, offices for a chemical peel, our staff will immediately put you at ease. Your treatment area will be gently cleaned and prepped for the procedure. The chemical peel process typically lasts approximately 15 to 30 minutes. Our solutions are tailored to your unique skin needs. They are designed to penetrate the upper layers of the epidermis to treat the discolorations and textural impurities that bother you most. As the name suggests, the chemicals will begin to peel away within 48-72 hours. This process could last up to a week, removing imperfections from your skin and leaving it more lustrous and healthy. Please contact our staff to discuss the beautifying benefits of chemical peels in Kansas City.
What to Expect
Recovery varies depending on the details of your individualized treatment. While our topical treatments involve no downtime, skin resurfacing patients will need to allow their skin to heal following their treatment.
Please avoid direct contact with the sun for at least three days following your chemical peel melasma treatment session. It is normal and natural for your skin to adopt a pink hue. This should subside steadily during the first week. After 7-10 days, you can expect a full recovery from your melasma treatment.
Beautiful Results
By peeling away the damaged layers of skin affected by melasma, Quinn Aesthetic Center will unleash the bright, brilliant you. You may require repeat sessions to address more severe cases of dark spots and skin irregularities.

Anyone can develop Melasma, but it disproportionately affects women. During pregnancy, hormonal changes can activate melanocytes, the cells that control pigmentation. When the melanocytes are overactive, they may create dark splotches, often found on the forehead.
After the specialists at Quinn Aesthetic Center address your melasma concerns, you may want to consider additional procedures to bring a holistic shimmer to your complexion. Facials can be customized to your specifications, providing exfoliation, hydration, and clarity to your facial features. If you struggle with loose skin or wrinkles around the eyes, lips, or chin, you may want to consider injectables to plump and calm your expression. We also offer pharmaceutical grade skincare products and microneedling for your most visibly healthy skin.
