Melasma, Melanocytes and Working With the Skin
Featured in Mocha Beauty Year 19, Issue 4. Most melasma treatment plans focus on suppressing pigment, but Clare Lamberth, Larimedical Business Development Manager at The Australian Dermal & Laser Institute (TADLI), argues the real issue lies deeper: melasma is a chronic inflammatory and vascular condition, not simply a pigment problem. Aggressive peeling can trigger the "melasma boomerang", short-term brightening followed by rebound pigmentation and barrier damage. Larimedica

Featured in Mocha Beauty Year 19, Issue 4.

Collagen Induction vs Collagen Destruction, Where Is the Line?
Featured in Mocha Beauty Year 19, Issue 3. Every energy-based treatment we perform is, by definition, a controlled injury. The goal is always induction - stimulating the skin to repair, rebuild and strengthen. But the line between collagen induction and collagen destruction is thinner than many therapists realise. And in a market flooded with devices, trends and aggressive protocols, that line is being crossed more often than we’d like to admit. A detailed 3D render shows the

Reimagining Rosacea: A Non Invasive, Clinical Approach to Long Term Skin Management
Rosacea is one of the most commonly misunderstood chronic skin conditions in clinical practice.

The modern clinical focus has shifted away from aggressive intervention towards restoring function, supporti

Are Chemical Peels Bad for Your Skin? Debunking the Biggest Myths
Chemical peels have been used in aesthetic medicine for decades, yet they remain one of the most misunderstood professional treatments. Many clients and practitioners still associate peels with aggressive exfoliation, significant downtime, and visible skin shedding.
