Is Picosure the best Melasma treatment for type IV skin?

June 20, 2019
Asked By:Johanna8434 in Toronto, ON

I am 45 yrs old , I have had melasma for about 3 yrs. My skin type is 4 in the fitzpatrick scale. I have been wanting to try the Picosure laser but cant find reviews from people of my complexion. I have a large patch of pigmentation in my forehead and cheks. I would like to know how effective it is. Will my skin get darker? How careful do I need to be with the sun? We are planning to move to the caribean for a couple of years. Is there something that works better for my skin type? Thanks Johanna
