Answer: Melasma and Sun Spots -- Best Treamtent Is Clear + Brilliant / Fraxel 1927 with Microneedling PRP, Pro Yellow is Useful There is no cure for melasma despite lasers, skin lightening, needling/PRP. I suggest you see an expert in lasers and skin to get improvement. Best, Dr. Emer.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Melasma treatments that work for pigmentation 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: Melasma and best treatment NYC I personally would avoid all lasers for melasma and consider a dermatologist who performs Cosmelan treatment. I have treated so many patients who suffer from hyperpigmentation from lasers with dark skin and have found that the best treatments are chemical peels, bleaching creams, and Cosmelan peels. Please consult an expert. Best, Dr. Green

Answer: Vi peel The vi peel is safe on any color of skin and is effective in reducing melasma in one week with no downtime. Although it is not permanent it can be repeated in a 3-6 months if necessary. The use of a sunblock along with bleaching cream if necessary can maintain the effect.

Answer: Treatment of Melasma and Freckles Both melasma and freckles are caused by UVA sun exposure with heredity and hormones thrown in to worsen the sun damage. DermaClin Forte is a hydroquinone cream that changes the way the melanocytes (the pigment cells) work to reduce the spots and prevent new ones. Unfortunately, you will probably need to use the hydroquinone somewhat continuously to prevent recurrence of the problem. I have personally been doing so for over 25 years (using the Obagi Nu-Derm System with hydroquinone). When I switched to another product, the spots returned in about 9 months but again disappeared again in 3-4 weeks after restarting the Obagi. Additionally, you need a good 8-12% Zinc Oxide sunblock DAILY as it is the only practical sunblock available. It needs to be reapplied only if rubbed or washed off. The other sunblocks that block UVA all need to be reapplied every 1-2 hours depending on whether you are indoors or out.
