I am 40 with- my skin has great texture and no lines. I have suffered with melasma for over 20 years - sometimes it's lighter and sometimes darker.
A year ago I tried IPL and it worked for a couple of months and then came back WORSE. I would never do it again.
Please be very careful with the fraxel, you have very nice smooth textured skin in both pics. You're melasma is really not so bad - I'm a makeup artist and I think you could cover it quite easily if you wore sunscreen, concealer and pressed mineral foundation.
I am experiencing good results with cosmelan. I did the mask myself on my forehead only. But I'm taking a very GENTLE approach - spot testing, using only minimal product for half the treatment time and monitoring results carefully.
You have pretty skin, I hope your remain happy with your results, but I've come to realise it's about maintaining good internal health and less stress and using good sunblock!!
