Melasma!
Welcome back to another episode of Just Laser It, where we break down the science behind the most common skin conditions and discuss the latest in cosmetic dermatology. Today, we’re diving into a particularly stubborn condition—melasma. Known for its characteristic dark patches, melasma can be incredibly frustrating to treat due to its complex triggers and chronic nature. 

While many of us may look to advanced treatments like lasers or chemical peels, topicals are actually the first line of defense and often the most effective way to manage this condition. In fact, relying too heavily on procedures may not always improve the appearance and, in some cases, can even make things worse. Join us to explore the challenges of treating melasma and why starting with the right topical regimen is critical to long-term success.

Let’s get started!
