I had just started using a light otc Roc retinol for about a week, Porcelena hydroquinone 2% on dark spots, Prosacea for Rosacea on areas with visible blood vessels. I had a bad reaction yesterday, my skin became red a swollen in the areas I treated and the skin is now 24 hrs later is corse and looks as if it needs to peel with continued redness. I'm not sure if I have Rosacea Telangiectasia or if it's just sun damage, I don't have the bumps or pustules that are associated with Rosacea at times.
I have melasma and PIH and have been treating it with hydroquinone and Enlighten Peels plus extreme sun protection.. I would like to continue treating it this summer with hydroquinone and the addition of a laser. Which laser would be best? Would the PicoWay help? What is the best laser to treat Melasma and PIH?
What can I do for my rosacea and melasma? I have tried hydroquoinone, peels, ipl, Excel v and laser genesis. Laser genesis made it worse with little dark marks on my upper right cheek. I am currently on finecea but it doesn't seem to be helping. I am willing to travel anywhere for treatment.
I am 48 and have had slight melasma since i gave birth 20 years Ago . Ive used hydroquione during the winter and it was bearable .it would come back in the summer as i live in cyprus .i always use 50 factor sunscreen and keep out of the sun . This winter i had the mirena coil in for hormone Imbalances and used dr obaji products . My melasma has got a lot worse especially on My forehead and under eyes What would you recommend ?
I have had 5 -6 IPL treatment on my legs. The machine was turned up high enough for me to receive some burns. I also had a technician try Bbl, pico, a machine that removes tattoos. She tried several spots and nothing happened on my legs. I also use hydroquinone which helps a little. The BBL/IPL worked great in one treatment on my arms and chest. Surely in this day and time there is something that can be used for these spots on the legs.
I'm 14 months post-partum and my skin is a mess. Melasma has taken over my face. During my mat leave, I went on vacation 3 times - I protected my skin every 30 mins with Tizo Ultra Zinc, wore a hat and stayed out of the sun. I tried Clear + Brilliant 3 times with some results. In between treatments, I was using glycolic acid products. Did I do something wrong? I'm now using Erfa Hydroquinone 4% 2x / day. What serums and products should I use - and in what order? What other treatments should I try?
will it help with the large pores I also have scars, melasma and sunspots/liver spots brown spots freckles whatever you would like to call them I live in a really sunny area thought would I just get more? if anything can I apply them on my wrinkles
I have been using hydroquinone 8% pads on my face for melasma in which has given me positive results while on it. I give my face 30 day rest as suggested by doctors but in those 30 days it seems to come back almost to the same way I started. Is there anything that i can use in the 30 day rest period to maintain my face melasma free =( I am desperate! Thanks in advance
got stubborn dermal melasma and I simply don't want to live looking like this. it has affected my life very badly. despite trying my best, no treatment seems to be working. what are my options? dermalen - failed - triluma - failed , now on 10% hydroquinone...still no results..
