Melasma Treatment for Slightly Olive Skin?

I'm Italian with slighly olive skin. I have been on hydroquinone cream for almost a year and have had 6 IPL treatments on my face for melasma caused by pregnancy. I've had so-so results with minimal reduction of the melasma on my forehead. I also experienced red, raised bumps around the edges of my face after each IPL treatment. Now, the esthetician and doctor are recommending either a Melange peel for my face or a TCA peel for just my forehead.

Topical treatment for Melasma with MelaPeel and Melarase creams

Melasma is difficult to control as long as the causative factors are still present. After reviewing your case in my office, I would discuss your risk factors and then begin you on topical Melarase creams followed by once-monthly MelaPeels.
