Would you recommend Clear and Brilliant for Dermal Melasma?

November 24, 2014
Asked By:MDC1005 in Massachusetts, MA

I have had dermal melasma since my first child was born. I've tried hydroquinone combined with Retin-A and glycolic peels with no success. Two clinicians have told me I am not a candidate for laser treatments (because of PIH risk), but today I met with a doctor who suggested I try the Clear and Brilliant Laser treatment. I have olive complexion and of Mediterranean decent. Is this superficial laser really a good choice? After doing some reading, I'm not so sure. What have other people found?
