About This Treatment
We differentiate melasma (hormonally influenced, photo-sensitive), post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (after acne or procedures), and solar lentigines. Treatment differs—melasma is chronic and heat-sensitive. AAD hyperpigmentation overview stress sunscreen as foundation.
Triple-combination creams (hydroquinone + tretinoin + steroid) may be used short-term under supervision; alternatives include azelaic acid, tranexamic acid (oral in select cases), and cysteamine.
Lasers/IPL selectively—wrongly chosen melasma can worsen pigment.
