I had a doctor try to remove my dark spots and it made it worse she used a machine called Q Max Machine. I even have a new dark line on my chin from the laser and I have tried bleaching cream and it didn't work. I stay out of the sun and wear SPF 50 and make up to cover my face. What can I do to get these dark spots off my face I can't even go anywhere I'm so embarrassed of how I look.
Answer: Melarase Q switch laser is not a longterm solution for melasma. I would start with the Melarase Brightening Kit followed by light fractional lasers. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

Answer: Melas Melasma treatments must be combined and must be gentle. If you have an autoimmune disorder, your specialist will also check your endocrine function to ensure thyroid dysfunction is not a contributing factor. Ensure that you are under the care of a specialist and not a person with a Q Max device, as understanding how to treat melasma is important for results. Melasma can not be completely cured, however effective treatment are possible. This is because your skin is extremely sensitive to UV and even the smallest amount can stimulate your pigment cells to produce colour. The mainstay of treatment is strict UV protection- hats, sunglasses and SPF every 4 hours.
