I've had melasma caused by medication that suddenly appeared approximately 1 year and 1/2 ago. I've tried obagi nu derm, peels, microdermabrasion, Retin A, Vit C, sunscreen (always, still), but it would only slightly fade. I was reluctant to try fraxel after reading the negative reviews. I was numbed for an hour and the fraxel took about 20 minutes. I did both face and neck. It felt hot and punchy during. My face has felt warm, swollen tight and itchy since. I've used ice, aquaphor, and cerave lotion. Sunscreen if outside. It's only 2 days post, and will update.

Day 3, brown melasma patches peeling off
I've never been this close to not having those brown patches. I'm liking what I'm seeing so far. Pink skin beneath the brown dark skin that's starting to peel off.

Had it Thursday night, my skin after Sunday morning shower
Melasma completely peeled off, skin very smooth for most part. A couple of sandpaper patches left to forehead sides of face and neck- my skin is very pink and smooth that has peeled. Melasma looks like it's 100 percent gone in all areas. Hope it lasts. Been using cerave, rosehip seed oil, and Tamanu oil. Vit c sparingly for healing. Sunscreen.
