Is the Cosmelan peel or lasers more effective for melasma treatment?

Hi, Melasma is best considered as a "chronic" pigmentary condition affecting the skin. As such, the key treatment objective should be to "control" the pigmentation rather than to "cure" the condition. Sun avoidance/protection and the use of effective proven skin lightening agents should be the mainstay of treatment. Chemical peeling such as Cosmelan peel helps remove superficial melasma by the process of accelerated skin renewal. Lasers help by dispersing the melasma pigments.
