Interesting read. I’m curious to learn how it turned out? Were you ever transitioned into retinol with niacinaminde and tranexamic acid to replace hydroquinone as the main tyrosinase inhibitors?

I agree with no IPL, but careful laser treatments and chemical peels can actually help the initial effects of melasma by getting rid of the top layers of skin that have been affected. But of course this needs to be done in a medical clinic with a doctor’s oversight to not cause more damage, as you’ve noted.

Thanks for sharing all this!

In reply to Jill. Hey Jill, Thank you! I'm so happy to hear you've been protecting your face! Melasma is triggered if there is heat on that specific area. So, no if the sun touches your body it won't make your lip melasma worse. Don't worry :)
