Hyperpigmentation, whether it is melasma, which this might be, can be difficult to treat.
It is definitely important to use an outstanding broad spectrum sun block every single day. Unfortunately, lasers don’t have much or any role in melasma or hyperpigmentation.
There is one procedure that the aestheticians at my office have found to be helpful with both skin conditions. Cosmelan, which is the combination of a home skin care and an in-office treatment system, is a treatment that I have, surprisingly, seen better results with than other treatments over the years.
I wish you the best of luck and feel free to call the aestheticians at the office if you have any questions at (310) 275-2467.
