Is PicoSure good for stubborn upper lip melasma? (Photo)

Melasma is a difficult problem.  Picosure is very safe and is a very promising solution.  It will probably require 4-5 sessions to get some improvement.

Thank you for your question! Melasma is difficult condition to treat. Picsure can help with your scars and dark spots, but I usually advise combination of treatments. Picosure treatment will not prevent further spots from occurring. I would suggest you to make an appointment with an expert when it comes to treating melisma so you can get examined and receive personalized treatment. Good luck!

Melasma or facial pigmentation is a very difficult condition
to treat. In our office, we use a variety of treatments including skin care
products (containing retinoic acid, hydroquinone, glycolic acids), sunscreens,
chemical peels, and lasers (IPL/BBL, Q-switch, PICO, Fraxel). Over the last few
years, we have had great success with the ZO Blue Peel in treating
hyperpigmentation. This is a robust in-office procedure that provides
dermal and epidermal stimulation allowing for maximal tightening, restoration
and rejuvenation of the skin. It also minimizes or eliminates the appearance of
melasma [both epidermal and dermal melasma] and facial pigmentation. All
patients require 6 weeks of skin conditioning prior to the procedure
with the ZO Hydroquinone or Non-Hydroquinone kit.  These are advanced
techniques so be sure to get an experienced dermatologist or plastic surgeon
consultation for recommendations and treatment options.
