I've got a melasma moustache and it drives me nuts. Revlite has helped but it comes back. I've tried Tri luma and hydroquinone on its own. Never tried peels. I have heard picosure is safer than revlite. I'm a very pale girl with dry sensitive skin.

Answer: Melasma - a difficult problem -PicoSure offers hope Firstly, let me say that the treatment of melasma/chloasma ("mask of pregnancy") has up until very recently been a very difficult condition to treat. It is important to have this problem diagnosed and managed by a specialist dermatologist as many laser/ IPL/peel and other topical treatments can make the problem much worse. in our practice the PicoSure is proving promising, often used in conjunction with newer topical treatments available to (and understood by) experts in the the treatment of pigmentary disorders. One of our specialists has studied extensively overseas to become an expert in this field - she is using the PicoSure in combination with other medications and our previously frustrated patients are thrilled with the results. Choose your practitioner wisely - any laser is only as good as the skill of its operator.

I still prefer the use of bleaching cream, vitamin A, gentle peels and low dose 1064 laser. Having said that, for resistant cases of melasma, Picosure has helped.
