Melasma Treatment by a Dermatologist: Synergistic  use of Topicals and Safe Lasers

A multimodality approach is often needed to manage facial pigmentation concerns.

Melasma is a chronic pigmentation disorder that requires initial resolution and ongoing maintenance therapy to prevent recurrence. Although it is not curable, effective treatment involves a synergistic combination of tinted sunscreens, lasers, peels, and tablets.

Causes of melasma are multifactorial, including genetic and hormonal factors, excess UV and visible light exposure, and excessive friction/heat. Effective treatment involves treating both the superficial and deep pigment elements.

Photoacoutsitic Laser treatment targets deep pigment and gradually breaks it up, while prescriptive tuitional and rotational topical creams treat the superficial pigment. A synergistic combination of treatments leads to effective results, but treating melasma takes time. It may take up to 3- 6 months or longer for initial fading, followed by ongoing maintenance to prevent recurrence.
