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

Hi, There is really no need to if you are interested purely in the function of the product e. g skin cleansing or moisturizing. The active ingredients in a Men’s range vs a Women’s range of products are often the same, hence the effectiveness and arguably skin tolerance to the product will likely not differ at all. The key difference lies mainly in the packaging and fragrance that may appeal to different genders. As an extension to this topic of a product’s targeted group labeling, children's formulations tend to contain lower concentrations of active ingredients.

Hello and thank you for your question. Triluma is a strong lightening cream consisting of a steroid cream, the lightening agent hydroquinone and tretinoin 0. 05%. As accutane consists of isotretinoin which is in the same family of drugs as tretinoin, there is a risk that you may develop irritation of the skin when both are used together. If your accutane dose is fairly low (20mg or less), you can try using very small amounts of the Triluma over the melasma area. If your skin is not too sensitive, you may just be lucky enough use both together.
