Sorry this response is so late. I just saw these messages. Tanning is not recommended, since you need to protect your face from the sun. A lot of sunscreen and big spf hats as the sun is what is usually the cause of the melasma and can make it worse.
I had the procedure done at a dermatologist in La Jolla. I wouldnt recommend doing it yourself. I am not sure if you live in San Diego, but if so, I highly recommend this office and it is the best price around. I paid $650.00.
It's been a year and I am still pleased with the results.
Good luck!
