Does Melaglow Treatment With Lasers Ensure Uniform Skin Color In Body?

Hi, My face color is darker than the rest of the body. I want to make it uniform, i have done 70% glycolic peels in the past two months (4 sessions) but no change. I am looking at a melaglow treatment which includes lasers also. It is a pretty expensive (60K). Doc says one session should be good, his earlier patients have done it for acne spots and melasma and i have seen the before after pics, it works. Do you think this will help my situation? What do i need to ensure that is being provided in the treatment? Will this be a permanent fix or it will reverse in sometime?

Hello,

I can understand your concern for use of Melaglow treatment with lasers to ensure uniform skin color in body.
I can get that you are under treatment from a dermatologist and it is always better to take a personalized guidance from a treating dermatologist. It requires a proper analysis of the skin and accordingly best treatment to get uniform skin tone. In all your kind of cases I suggest to have best of the nutritious diet with fruits and green vegetables and improve the nutritional status. I suggest my patients to apply a cream containing arbutin and licorice extract at night time.
Do not expose yourself to direct environment and direct sunlight as it causes more tanning and damage to the skin. You can take further guidance from a dermatologist.

Take care.
