I am disgusted by my face, my malasma is horrible. I have wasted so much money on all kinds of treatments, Triluma, hydroquonine, microdermabrasion, fraxel, ipl, PRP alternating between plasma/hydro quinine treatments. Daily sunblock, kojic soap, lemon, onions, I want to scrape the skin off my face, I ran into a Swiss Cysteamine Cream, got it, praying this works. My Son saw my face and said "Mom!!! What happened to your face???? " I was so ashamed and said, "no, sweetie, it's my face! Plz help.

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. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Dermal and epidermal melasma Pictures suggest melasma. A multimodality approach to melasma is key to successful reduction in hyperpigmentation and ongoing maintenance. You would need an in person examination but Melasma can be treated with a comprehensive approach. You should avoid sun exposure with wide spectrum high SPF sun block and Spectrase is a great product for this. Consideration should be given to stopping birth control pills. As well, topical creams that are non hydroquinone based. Sclerovase. Melarase AM and Melarase PM are hydroquinone based products that relieve melasma pigmentation. I have been shown to be very effective in our practice.
