Hi, I never post on forums, but I know how hard it is to live with melasma. I have had it so bad, I'm extremely self conscious when I go out, and have to pack on make up and reapply when I'm out. I have it on my forehead, cheeks and the dreaded upper lip. I recently heard about micro needling from a friend and thought stuff it, I'll give it a try. I've had 2 treatments so far, (4-5 weeks apart) and I am SO happy with the results so far. I will probably have 1-2 more treatments and then a final microdermabrasion. I don't have to wear nearly as much make up now, and am much less paranoid about it. These photos are from my last 2 appointments, I can't wait to go back for my final two. Hopefully this helps, if you have any questions, I'm more than happy to answer them for you.
