Can any doctors who use Q-switch / Picosure for melasma outline a skincare routine for post-procedure care?

Doctor's Answer

Melasma is such a dicey topic. Lasers is still quite the mainstay of treatment of melasma.

But what does matter, is the a combination of a few factors in my opinion:

  • SUNBLOCK cannot be overly emphasised.
    No sunblock is virtually asking for trouble.

  • I like using oral supplements.
    TOMATO EXTRACT and P LEUCOTOMOS together i find works well for my patients. Some think its voodoo medicine - I find that it works well.

  • Keeping your skin well hydrated and healthy with your usual skin care regime is useful. LASERS are drying in nature as they are energy based.

    In short:

  • Normal skincare

  • Appropriate moisturiser

  • Sunblock

  • Oral supplements
