I have been having Picosure treatment on my face for 10 months now and my melisma doesn’t improve. So my dermatologist told me to use tri-luma. If I decide to keep getting Picosure. How many days apart do I need to stop using tri-Luma before I get Picosure treatment. Can I use tri-luma while I get the Picosure treatment.
