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: Melarase cre You have dermal and epidermal melasma. I would start with the Melarase Brightening Kit followed by fractional laser with Clear and Brilliant and a light chemical peel series. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

Answer: I generally do not recommend lasers for melasma Having treated melasma my entire career- I have found laser to be a poor choice to treat melasma. Lasers can worsen melasma or only temporarily make it better. A much better option is a good skincare program sun protection, and a controlled depth blue peel.

Answer: You need PicoSure Focus treatment Thank you for sharing you photo and I'm sorry to hear about how your son commented about your skin. It sounds like you tried many many options but you should never give up. I highly suggest you look into PicoSure Focus treatment for your melasma. Not only will it improve your skin pigmentation it will also improve your skin texture as well because it is the only laser on the market proven to stimulate elastin production. To find a Picosure specialist I your office please visit cynosure.com or Picosure.com . Your treatment will need a few sessions. Some patient see improvement after 1-2 sessions others might need 4-8 sessions. Everyone is different. I absolutely love this treatment and have seen it do miracles to people's faces. Good luck. Best, Dr.Avaliani

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.
