Laser/Fillers/Chemical Peels etc?? I've researched laser treatments. Apparently they aren't so effective for dark skin. Could fillers possibly get me to my desired look? I've used countless bleaching creams to no avail. I've included pics of my face from all angles and lighting as well as pics of my ideal lip/mouth.

Answer: Melasma Treatment--Best Treatment Is Clear + Brilliant / Fraxel / Aerolase w Microneedling/prp I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Melasma needs a combination approach to get the best improvement and will need a series of treatments. In our practice, we combine Clear + brilliant, peels, microneedling/PRP, aerolase, Cosmelan, and sometimes erbium laser (coollaser) to get the best results. Melasma will need life-long maintenance. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Melasma Hi and thanks for the question. Melasma can be managed and definitely helped with the right treatment plan. Usually there are several different things that we do to help patients with melasma and not one by itself generally gives you the result that you're looking for. For best results I recommend seeing a qualified provider that has experience in this area.
