Melasma is often diffifult to treat and usually requires a multimodality skin care treatment plan. The treatment of Melasma may require a combination of laser based technology such as Laser Genesis, chemical peels, sun protection and skin care products over several months in order to diminish the appearance of the pigmented lesions.
Postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is a possible transient side effect of laser based technology, chemical peels, skin rejuvenation or trauma. Sun exposure, genetic predisposition, hormones and inflammation are just a few of the contributing factors in the formation of pigmented lesions in skin types III-VI. Properly identifying clients at risk of developing PIH is key to developing a skincare treatment plan with "prevention" as the primary focus.
