Cosmelan for Post-Acne Pigmentation

I'm a 24 year old F with a skin type 4, I've got post-acne pigmentation all over my back, I tried many txs including 6 sesions of microdermabrasion + medi wrap, 6 session of the Nd: yag and finally 4 sessions of TCA peel. However I still have plenty of pigmentation with an improvement of 20% max. I'm considering Cosmelan but during my research I read that its a temporary treatment for melasma where pigmentation will re-occur with time, I was wondering if thats true with post-acne pigmentation?

A: Cosmelan for Post Acne Lesions

Only if you get new acne lesions.  If you are prone to getting Post Inflammation Hyperpigmentation this can and will happen again.  Cosmelan is a great option for Hyperpigmentation...

Hope this helps.
