33 female. Acne and melasma. TIA, I´m quite desperate.
Answer: Is Cosmelan safe Since Cosmelan contains hydroquinone at a higher percentage , using it for a prolonged time or using it repeatedly can lead to a condition called ochronosis. If Cosmelan is used as suggested by the manufacturer it should decrease hyperpigmentation and not increase it, and is completely safe.

Answer: The Solution to Careful Melasma Treatments Melasma is a common disorder that is often difficult to treat. It isn't unusual for a patient to become frustrated after trying a variety of treatments in an attempt to obtain satisfactory results. Like most other complicated skin conditions, a combination of treatments paired with the proper skin regimen works best! Topical de-pigmenting agents such as hydroquinone or other melanin inhibitors along with a topical tretinoic acid to increase skin cell turnover, hastens the fading of uneven patches. This commitment along with specific medical-grade chemical peels, appropriate laser treatments and diligent protection , can enhance the likelihood of reducing or resolving melasma ! #melasma #chemicalpeels # unevenskincolor

Answer: Is Cosmelan safe?
I have not had any patients whose melasma got worse after using Cosmelan, assuming they follow directions and use the system properly. I have had a few patients with tremendously stubborn melasma who we had to do the series on more than once, or once and then again a few years later. The key with maintenance though is to make certain that you wear a good sunscreen every day!
