Are you one of the 6 million women in the US suffering from melasma?

Seeing your face fill up with dark spots is never a fun experience, luckily there is a solution. Epione Beverly Hills offers the Coolaser treatment, which has helped hundreds of women get rid of their melasma, among other skin concerns.

Interested? Keep reading to learn all about this treatment created by Dr. Simon Ourian and how it could help you.

What Is Melasma?

If you’re unsure about what this condition is, you may have heard it referred to as the pregnancy mask.

Melasma often presents itself during pregnancy in the form of grey or brown spots on the face, caused by hormonal changes. Although, women who are not pregnant can also experience it—a common example would be those who have been through a hormonal pill regiment.

The condition most often occurs on the cheeks, upper lip, chin, nose, or forehead. Those dark spots appear because the cells in your skin make too much pigment in specific areas. They could appear as freckles would, but melasma tends to be darker, larger, and certainly more undesirable.

What Is Coolaser?

Coolaser is highly popular, especially on Instagram, and even the Kardashians are big fans of Dr. Ourian’s laser treatments. Jenna Dewan also received Coolaser melasma treatment at Epione Beverly Hills and raved about the results on her Instagram.

The Coolaser treatment was pioneered by Dr. Simon Ourian and is only be performed at Epione Beverly Hills. This melasma treatment combines Coolaser and blue light therapy, which are both FDA approved. It is also used to treat acne, sun damage, wrinkles, and scars.

The area being treated is first cooled and then flashed with pulses of light. This light gets rid of damaged tissue, and in turn, helps promote collagen growth. While you may experience some mild pain or discomfort, the Coolaser portion of the procedure only lasts 10 to 15 minutes.

Your face may look red and irritated for a few days afterward, but this will fade. The treatment should also last quite a while, giving you a refreshed look with a significant reduction in blemishes.

Why Choose This Treatment?

With this treatment, your melasma can be reduced if not eliminated.

Other laser treatments that are offered are usually too strong or too weak to properly fix the melasma. And if you have a darker skin tone, this treatment could be the best choice as others harm darker skin by affecting the natural pigment.

Melasma is also not very responsive to other treatments such as chemical peels or micro-needling. So if you try these out instead of Coolaser, you may be spending money to end up right back where you started.

Sustainability is an ongoing theme in a world that finally answers the environment’s call to action. From toning down single-use plastics to making subtle yet powerful lifestyle changes, modern society means business when it comes to the green revolution.

The skincare industry, in particular, is pitching in by resorting to clean beauty. From Greece to the Netherlands, Amalia Pavlidou stumbled upon a revelation. As she browsed rows of natural products, the idea for Alternative Therapies began to take shape—a skincare line rooted in nature, yet forward-thinking in science.

The Evolution of a Conscious Skincare Movement

As consumers demand more transparency in their beauty routines, the natural and vegan skincare market is booming. Alternative Therapies finds itself at the heart of this eco-conscious shift.

“When we started, it was not just about creating products—it was about driving a movement that would help put the world on track toward healing,” says Amalia Pavlidou. “I wanted to prove that luxury and sustainability can coexist without canceling each other out.”

This philosophy shines through in every detail, from the company’s recyclable glass packaging to its commitment to avoiding harmful chemicals like parabens and sulfates. One of the flagship products, the vitamin C serum, is a true reflection of this concept, blending 2% natural Vitamin C, ferulic acid, and sea-buckthorn to deliver both radiant skin and a clean conscience.

Alternative Therapies, once a small player, has utilized this trend, entering the competitive U.S. market this year. “There is a deep-rooted connection between nature and self-care in Greek culture,” explains Pavlidou. “We are bringing that tradition to the global stage, blending it with progressive science.”

The Rise of Eco-Beauty

Amalia Pavlidou’s plan for progress in the industry—one where luxury does not compromise ethics—has attracted a growing community of supporters. As Alternative Therapies expands its presence in the U.S., it remains grounded in its mission to redefine beauty standards.

“When I started this, I was hoping to do more than simply build a business—I wanted to build a legacy,” reflects Pavlidou. “Apart from looking good, beauty should be about feeling good and doing good.”

Now the question is not whether the beauty industry will embrace sustainability—it is how quickly it can catch up with pioneers like Alternative Therapies taking the reins. With its commitment to changing the world with mild ingredients, the brand is crafting a greener glow, lighting the way for a more conscious industry. To that effect, it is evident that luxury and beauty can be synonymous.
