Best melasma, redness and large pores treatment for sensitive skin?
I am 33 years old, and have sensitive skin (i.e. I don't respond well to glycolic acid). My cocerns are: slight browness/possible melasma on my forhead; redness in my cheeks, and enlarged pores by by nose. My pores and uneven redness on my cheeks are my biggest concern. What would be the best option: IPL, Fraxel Restore, or Laser Genesis? I heard that IPL can make melasma worse; is this true? It was also recommended that I try Silk peel with the Laser Genesis. Would you advise that? Thanks.
