I am suffering from melasma. I have also other brown spots on my cheek (look like aging spots). I tried so many different creams like Trio A and Skinoren, but nothing changed. Now I am looking for the right treatment. How successful will the result of microdermabrasion together with salicylic acid be on my melasma? I'm Skin type III. Is this a possible treatment or may the melasma react and come back more darker? How much will this cost?
I've also heard about Cosmelan. Will this be a better option? Can I get long-term results from Cosmelan? How often can I repeat this treatment? Is cosmelan harmful for the skin?

Microdermabrasion is not standard for melasma. Cosmelan is a good choice.
