Treatment
Melasma can fade on its own or persist for years if left untreated. It tends to come back even after it has faded. Treatments aim towards fading the pigmentation, but none can guarantee that it won’t come back. Melasma treatment is based on combination approach for getting best results.
Medical treatment of melasma (Sunscreen, Creams or oral tablets) is first step for that.
Patients who do not respond well to medical treatment or someone want faster results chemical peels and laser treatments can be combined. It takes 4-5 months to achieve satisfactory improvement, there after maintenance treatment follows.
