Melasma Treatment Thulium Laser

I’m 29 years old, been working in the sun in Hawaii for 5 years. I never wore sunscreen in the first couple of years. I? loved the tan! After a year of having a Skyla IUD I? started noticing small patchy brown spots popping up on my forehead and cheeks. I? had no idea the hormones from the IUD could give me Melasma. The sun made it terribly worse! I’ve used every natural sunscreen made and the spots remain. The only true cure is to stay out of the sun! My spots have diminished tremendously from being inside and out of the sun however I? did try one session of the Thulium Laser Lavien. I’ve noticed a great difference, my skin looks new :) it’s been one week and I? absolutely love having no spots. I? know as soon as I go out in the sun, consistently, the spots will slowly come back. I’m also trying bleaching pads to keep the spots at bay, along with Maladerm.
