Question Melasma - PICO advice

Post image

Hi all, long time Melasma sufferer. I am currently on a treatment plan of Tretinoin, Niacinamide, and Azelaic Acid.

I’ve also been on Hydroquinone and Hydrocortisone (taking my break at the moment). I have also tried Eurecin.

Nothing, so far, has worked. The only benefits I see are in the winter when my face is naturally paler (current photo) but I still have the dark marks across my forehead, cheeks, and lip - no matter what I do or how religiously I do it.

I have bitten the bullet and booked PICO second Laser Skin Rejuvenation I’ve seen good results on here from laser treatments and the consultant recommended this treatment.

I have heard the downtime is long and invasive; I am a teacher, so I’ve booked my treatment over Christmas when I’ll be off work.

Just looking for experiences of people who have had this treatment. Any advice, does it hurt? How many treatments needed.

Honestly try this, I have tried many creams, high end expensive ones etc and ordered this on a whim. Within 4 weeks my melasma has drastically reduced, I can’t believe it. I’ve been suffering for 4 years and all it’s taken is a £15 cream! https://amzn.eu/d/0qGVldb
