I would use Jessner peels alongside daily application of Melarase creams and Melapads to help with your melasma. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
Thank you for your question. Melasma is a challenging condition to treat. Some peels or laser treatments can even make it worse. Depending on what skin type, severity of melasma, and previous experience with cosmetic treatments will determine which treatments are best. I would recommend being treated under the supervision of a Board Certified Dermatologist for safest and best treatment option. I hope this helps.
Melasma is a complicated condition to treat. Results often require a combination of sun protection, a bleaching or brightening cream and a procedure such as a chemical peel or microdermabrasion. A Jessner's peel is an excellent tool in the treatment of melasma particularly in combination with an at home topical treatment.

Your skin may continue to peel for days. A good moisturizer is Elevase Moisture Booster which has ceramides which are ideal after a chemical peel. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
