One Year Later

It's been almost one year after starting My Battle with Melasma.

I started with a strict regimen of no sun and prescription Hydroquinone cream 5% with retinoic acid, I went through about 6 Miami Peels and had Alex Q switched laser 3 months ago. The overall results are satisfactory. I am very happy actually especially when I look at the BEFORE AND AFTER pictures. That is when you can tell the difference.

I am still On Hydroquinone 4% morning and night but I only apply at night during the summer. I have lots of visitors this summer and have had to be out in the sun at peak hours something I would never do, but I am protecting myself a with a big had and under the umbrella whenever possible. I do have to say that after 2 years of being out of the sun, this summer I have acquired a nice golden tan but just on my body not on my face. It feels good and I feel healthy.

In August I will pay a visit to my dermatologist to see what he has to say.

I hope everyone is having a good summer please, please, don't forget your sunscreen, especially on your face, and reapply as much as possible!
