Melasma treatment with a facial peel and Melarase

Melasma can be effectively treated. One option I recommend to patients is Melarase creams for the first three weeks, followed by once monthly MelaPeel facial peels.

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!
