Is I2PL a Good Melasma Treatment?
Is I2PL good to treat melasma?

It may work but there are other preferred modalities

Not my favorite
While IPL is great for many things, and the Ellipse I2PL one of the best and most effective systems out there, the response to IPL in melasma can be inconsistent.
Fot this reason I like peels and other modalities that are a bit more consistent in response. In addition, Fraxel Restore has worked more consistently than IPL and is FDA approved for melasma.
No matter which way you go, you need a good, board certified dermatologist to help you with this chronic skin disorder.
