I've had TCA peels for my diagnosed melasma, the process is slow but there are some improvements. How effective will frequent treatments be?
Answer: Several TCA peels and triple bleaching creams do great for Melasma Several light TCA peels at $175-250 each at 2 week intervals followed by twice daily cortisone lotion for 2 weeks and daily sunscreen and nightly triple bleach cream works amazingly to resolve melasma. Once clear then you use the triple bleach weekly and a daily sunscreen to prevent recurrances.

Answer: TCA and Melasma Melasma is a very stubborn problem where you must deal with the treatments to alleviate the melasma, but, also prevent new areas from forming and recurrence of the melasma. TCA treatments can have varying strengths. The lower the percentage, the weaker the peel and the less deep the peel will penetrate. If it is a 10% TCA peel it can take several peels to get to the level of the skin where the melasma has originated, and still may not alleviate the melasma.

Answer: Use bleaching preparation plus TCA peels You may want to consider the combined use of TCA plus a hydroquinone, Retin-A, and steroid preparation which may provide additional and more rapid response to treatment.
