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, and sometimes erbium laser (coollaser) to get the best results. Melasma will need life-long maintenance. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Melasma Best Treated By A Combination Of In-Office Superficial Peels & At-Home Use Of Prescription Topicals Melasma is unfortunately a chronic and often recurring hyperpigmentation problem. Moreover, it can be an especially difficult-to-treat and resistant problem in people of color. Avoidance of unprotected sun exposure and strict use of sunscreens is essential for preventing further dyspigmentation and to maintaining improvement once treatments have worked. In my experience, topical therapies, especially OTC products, alone are often of limited value. IPLs and lasers, particularly in skin of color, pose the risk of causing further hyperpigmentation or worse, permanent loss of pigmentation, and should be avoided or reserved as measures of last resort.
