It's been 11 days since I started my treatment. A special formula prescribed by my dermatologist, 5% hydroquinona, 0.01 % retinoic acid. I apply morning and night all over my face. I was diagnosed with melasma allover. The doctor could not believe how terrible it was after viewing me with his special uv camera.
I am not sure if you can tell in the pictures but I see a slight lightening on the very dark spots.
After a month of this treatment I was told to go back for a about 4-6 sessions of Miami Peel depending on the outcome. He will also prescribe me a new formula with a slightly higher hidroquinona and retinoic acid.
I feel confident and hopeful. It hasn't even been 2 weeks and I see a slight fading. I wear a hat constantly and stay out of direct sunlight.
