Looking for something with noticeable changes. I have large pores and past acne scars but also suffer from melasma, what laser would be best? I have tried Clear and brilliant and picosure, while I liked the results for melasma, it did nothing really for my pores/acne scars. Is there anything that can resurface my skin like Fraxel but safe for melasma skin??

Answer: Fraxel Treatment .Fraxel treatment improves tone, texture for scarred skin. There is minimal down time and it is designed to see an improvement in just one treatment. Melasma does respond well to the fraxel laser for most patients, but there are some where it may be worse after laser treatments.

Answer: Combination treatment In cases like yours I often like to combine treatments. Devices like vivace which combine radio frequency with micro needling penetrate deeply to help with texture and pores while maintaining safety with melasma. I then approach the pigment and melasma with a lighter fractionated laser like halo or a Pico second laser. This plan takes multiple treatment sessions but works nicely and safely.
