Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
A Q switched Nd- YAG LASER is good option for melasma treatment but the condition can be recurrent. A lot of sunscreen application is a must on regular basis and if you are on any medications ( like hormonal pills) or if you are peri or post menopausal. The fluctuating hormones may trigger this.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
