Facial treatment that will not worsen melasma? (Photo)

In the last couple of years my skin significantly aged and gotten worse. would like to improve my texture, minimalize large pores, prevent minor wrinkles, get rid of redness, however I have melasma and from my research, laser or light can worsen it or cause that it will appear in another places. What treatment would be good for me to reduce my concerns without making my discoloration worse? I am 45 years old, use sunscreen daily, do not tan, drink a lot of water, and care for my face.
