I have tried pigmanorm and a strong HQ cream( 10%) with no success. whereas, I read reviews of women who completely got rid of their melasma with some HQ product. why is it that HQ works for some people and not others?

Answer: Melasma Treatment Melasma can manifest superficially in the skin and this is where creams such as Tri-Luma or systems such as Obagi Nuderm are most effective. Melasma slightly deeper in the skin responds to Chemical Peels, Fraxel Laser, or Pico Lasers. There are Melasma subtypes that are very resistant to treatment. Always be sure to protect your skin with sun exposure and discuss all triggers and a stepwise approach to treatment with your dermatologist.

Answer: Melasma and Treatment Not all cases of Melasma are the same. Some require more aggressive treatment then hydroquinones, especially if they were made worse by laser treatments such as through IPL or Fraxel. Cosmelan or chemical peels may be needed. Please consult a specialist in melasma. Best, Dr. Green
