Is Microdermabrasion useful for melasma sun spot removal on the face? (Photos)

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis. We see atrophic and hypertrophic scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to discuss the best treatment options for your type of skin. .

Hello there! Microdermabrasion can definitely help with lightening hyperpigmentation and evening out skin tone! Since melasma is usually caused by hormones it is possible that it comes back. Wearing SPF daily is very important with maintaining hyperpigmentation. I suggest the Diamond Glow treatments because they have a specific serum infusion designed to lightening pigment! Lightly rubbing your eyes shouldn't be causing a pigment difference, it's likely that you have dark circles which are very common and usually genetic. ISDIN has an eye cream called K-OX eyes that contains vitamin k which can help reduce the appearance of dark circles. We hope this helps!
