What's the Best Makeup or Concealer That Covers Up Melasma?

Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads can seriously improve surface sun damage and UV related pigmentation. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Dermablend, Colorscience's tint du soleil, Even up, Glo mineral and several other mineral coverage with conceal melasma to some extent.  Consider melasma pigment reduction using Halo Hybrid Fractional laser then you will need less coverage with makeup.  It is a safe and effective way to treat and maintain melasma, FDA approved in 2014.

Dermablend is one of the best makeups to cover up Melasma or other pigmentation or rosacea.  They will color match you to have the best math to your skin tone.  Cosmelan also sells excellent treatment products for this purpose.  Best, Dr. Green
