Is there anything I can use to prevent melasma from coming back during 1 month rest of hydroquinone 8% on my face?

Wear sunscreen, avoid hormonal exposure, and start Melarase creams to help reduce the pigmentation on the face from melasma. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

Thank you for your question, 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 (Cool Laser) to get the best results. See an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

Melasma requires ongoing preventative care with topicals and avoidance of BCP, sun exposure, use of wide spectrum UV protection and sun block (Spectrase). I recommend Melarase cream for daily use.
