“Pro-fractional laser for melasma”

ProFractional Laser: Undecided

Cost: $650
Pain: Severe
ProFractional Laser satisfaction: Fair2 Star Rating: Fair
I recommend my ProFractional Laser provider: Name not provided
Why: Yes and no..it was very painful and I don't feel I was told how uncomfortable, etc. it would be in order to prepare my self. Also, the post treatment recovery time was bery unclear.
Seeking help:

I recently had profractional laser treatment on my face for melasma and am wondering at what point can I return to my regular outdoor activities of cycling, running, and boot camp, etc? My treatment was 5 days ago and I am still applying vaseline and antibiotic ointment 2x per day.
Review of ProFractional Laser:

Treatment has many benefits, but was very painful. My reason was to rid myself of the sun damage spots on my face, described as melasma by my doctor, which were continuing to get worse every year. I use SPF 60 daily, but am very active outside year round.

If it works, it was worth it, however unless they give me something more for the pain of the procedure I won't be returning for a second follow up.

Melasma is a very hard condition to treat one the problems is that you have to avoid sun light otherwise it keeps getting worst. Try using Tazorac cream and hydroquinone plus a very good sun block and vitamin C. Good luck keep us update.
