Freckles, acne scarring, and pigmentation and use neostrata smoothing cream. Dermamelan following a glycolic acid 10% cream?

Question

My skin type is III to IV. I have been using it for around 2 weeks continuous but could only see a 30 %improvement overall. I now consider taking Dermamelan by mesoestetic. Is it safe as I have been using neostrata or do I need to consider a gap before taking Dermamelan?What are the expected side effects or precautions to consider?

Thank you for your question. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon before selecting products for your skin. Skin resurfacing techniques vary in strength and can be adjusted depending on your specific needs.

Chemical peels and laser treatment often can worsen hyper-pigmentation  and skin discoloration in people of color.  I recommend IV glutathione and vitamin C for black marks, skin discoloration and melasma.  This IV therapy not only helps with dark spots but it also helps acne and improve skin tone, texture and elasticity.  For non- people of color it helps with age spots, liver spots, sun damage and freckles while improving the overall appearance and texture of the skin giving it a more youthful look.
