This 50 year old lady is of relatively darker underlying complexion (Fitzpatrick Type 4 to 5). Our major concern at the beginning was post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). PIH is a
common phenomenon in individuals of darker skin involving reactive increase in
melanin production after skin treatments.
Treatment progression was cautious and slow. We took treatment breaks of two to three
weeks at a time to monitor stability.
Here are the before and after pictures.

Everyone thought she had some freckles on her cheek.
On careful inspection, however, it was apparent that the pigmentation was not superficial. It was likely deeper in the epidermis.
After laser removal of the top layer of pigmentation, the same hazy greyish coloration remained. It took a few further treatments to completely clear residual pigmentation at the deeper layers to arrive at this result.

This lady was at our clinic six years ago to have her melasma treated. At that time, the
melasma was initially complicated by PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) before eventually responding well after a tortuous course.

She returned recently due to recurrence of her melasma. This time around, even though the melasma was visible, the overall skin condition was not as grave as it had been a few years back.
She shared that she had been diligent in maintaining the health of her skin. This is testament to the hypothesis that optimal skin health does serve to mitigate the severity of melasma.
This time around, exceptional precaution was taken to avoid running into PIH. Notably, her melasma problem resolved uneventfully over a much shorter course of treatment. We will continue the program for a few more sessions in the hope of achieving yet bigger improvements.

We encouraged continued diligence in skin care in the hope that her melasma will not
recur for many years to come.
