got stubborn dermal melasma and I simply don't want to live looking like this. it has affected my life very badly. despite trying my best, no treatment seems to be working. what are my options? dermalen - failed - triluma - failed , now on 10% hydroquinone...still no results..
Answer: Melarase creams for melasma There are many precipitors for melasma and pigmentation. I would start with the Melarase Brightening Kit with Melapads, Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Replenish; followed by a combination of Covalent peels, Yag laser, and light fractional laser.

Answer: Vi peel, q switched yag laser The vi peel is effective for melasma and safe in any color of skin. There is no downtime. In addition the q switched laser usually used for tattoo removal can lighten or eliminate melasma in a few sessions with no downtime. If necessary both these treatments can be combined but no different days to lighten melasma but touch up sessions may be necessary.

Answer: Dermal melasma- the most challenging condition to treat. I do agree that this is one of the MOST CHALLENGING conditions to treat. A dermatologist can guide you according, additional tests should be conducted to exclude endocrine causes (very rare).Melasma is a very common cause of skin pigmentation. It 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. This forms the foundation of all treatments.
