2 Months Post Treatment




Well, I´m at the 2 month mark of starting my treatment.

Lots of changes have occured. My skin has lightened up quite a bit, especially my dark spots. I see a big difference in general. My skin is more even toned. I can tell because each time I need less makeup and less effort to coverup my spots.

I don´t think I will ever get rid of my spots, and if you look closely there are lots of little ones hoping to acquire a larger diminsion.

I was scared at first at the intensive treatment of hydroquinone I was put on 5 % and now 6 %. I am still worried about the aftermath of my treatment and possible darkening, but for now I am enjoying my progress.

I am scheduled for another Miami Peel on Tuesday afternoon. Actually, I am not sure if that helped much, but I am being obedient and following the recommendations of my doctor. I want to make sure I put in my 100% to improve my melasma. Not cure it... I think there is no cure. I wonder what my maintance treatment will be.

I so wish I could see others pictures. Those of you who are going through the same. Those of you who like me probably wish you lived in a protective bubble away from the sun.


P.S. My camera is still holding out. The pictures don´t have the greatest quality.
As you can see the side pictures always look lighter. The frontal picture is a little darker. I think the camera reflects my image with 98 % accuracy. If you click on the photos you can get a closer look.
The second picture is my right cheek and the third my left cheek.
