IPL and Vi Peels for Melasma
Melasma is a very hard condition to treat. Please begin with bleaching creams and sun protection. If you see no results after 3 months, I would recommend a Vi Peel over IPL. Sometimes IPL treatments may worsen melasma instead of improve it. Sun protection is a must no matter what you do!

Melasma
Neither. is the short answer.Treatment of Melasma require time and effort on your part.
start medical grade skin care, stop any hormonal therapy, stop birth control pills, stop any tetracycline.
Then consider IPL? chemical peels. lightening peels.
