How Effective Are Frequent TCA Peels for Melasma?

I've had TCA peels for my diagnosed melasma, the process is slow but there are some improvements. How effective will frequent treatments be?

A: Superficial chemicals are a great treatment for melasma

Superficial chemical peels like TCA (lower strengths), glycolic acid, Jessner's solution and salicyclic acid are a great treatment for melasma...and in my opinion, they are the best. treatment for melasma. You will need a series to obtain the desirable result. It is also helpful to be on a good skin regimen which usually consists of a retinoid like Retin-A, a bleaching agent with hydroquinone and a great sunscreen.

I hope you find this answer helpful.
