What are your opinion on fillers/Botox with melasma patients?

October 31, 2014
Asked By:Shannon1820 in Ashley, Ohio

I am considering fillers for my nasolabials but am concerned because I have melasma on my upper lip. Will the injection and/or fillers cause the melasma to worsen. Also I have melasma between my eyebrows and was considering Botox to treat my frown lines. Can the injection cause the melasma to worsen?
