Halo or Omnilux made melasma worse?

Asked By:B2bd in Sydney, AU

I had a halo treatment done for extensive melasma 1 month ago. By day 7 it had almost all shedded and my new skin looked AMAZING! On day 9 I had a follow up and was put under the omnilux light for 20min. After the treatment (within 5 min) by melasma areas were burning. The next day my melasma started coming back. Its now right back where I started, it's only been 4 weeks! Was the omnilux to blame? Derm now has me on a 5% HQ / Kojic acid compound fading cream - is this likely to help?!
