I added a vitamin c serum and have been more diligent about wearing sunscreen to the melasma on my face, and great things started to happen. The melasma is no longer darkening. It is now fading. I can't thank you enough for all of the new products to try for oily skin. Have a great day.

SE Asian ethnic skin. Fitzpatrick type 4. Diagnosed with melasma by a board-certified dermatologist 3 months ago despite going to 4 separate med spas in the past (PAs/nurses/esthetician’s). It’s so important to receive the appropriate diagnosis by a dermatologist: I have seen more strides in my treatment protocol for the last three months than I have in the last 4-5 years of having this condition. I wish I had seen a derm a long time ago. Luckily, my case was mild and it was due to the fact that I had a strict routine aimed at addressing hyperpigmentation in general. Once I became aware it was specifically melasma, we knew to go slow, gentle but more frequent in regards to in-office treatments. We’d rather do 4 sessions of gentle Clear & Brilliant or Picoway laser treatments versus 1-2 strong Fraxel laser treatments etc. You’re in it for the long-haul. I’m also prescribed hydroquinone and oral tranexamic acid tablets and recommended to use a tranexamic acid serum like Lytera 2.0.

Hi Dr. Sugai! It's so nice to find your video about melasma! I'm of mixed ethnicities, including asian & latino ethnicities. I was born and raised in Hawaii, worshiping the sun! I've been noticing hyperpigmentation for a few years now, closer to the sides of my face, but the melasma on my cheeks is new and very troublesome to me. I'm in Southern California now, and my Dermatologist has me on the ZO line for my hyperpigmentation/melasma. I'm using the brightening pigment control cream with hydroquinone during the day, and the 1% retinol skin brightener at night. After more than 6 months, my skin is much smoother, but I'm really not seeing much of a difference in my hyperpigmentation/melasma, which is my main concern. I'm wondering if this is not the most effective regimen for me as an asian woman. I've invested more than I ever have in this skin care so far, so I feel the need to finish the bottles, but I do want to find products that will actually work well on me for the long run. I'm 1/2 way through your video, and I noticed you have not included ZO in your recommendations...ugh! From asian to asian, I would REALLY love your input on what I've been doing so far. I've already ordered the DRMTLGY Universal Sunscreen 46 SPF, per your recommendation. So happy to have that! I've been dying to find the right dewey tinted moisturizer with SPF, but I've been going in circles until now. So excited to try it!! Do you also happen to have any recommendations for a dermatologist in San Diego that specializes in aging asian skin?

@XimenaZhao415 Жыл бұрын

You should watch this video (the one above that you just commented on 6:45) or any video that explains how to use hydroquinone correctly. You're not supposed to use it for more than 2 - 3 months at a time. Most hydroquinone products will have written on their packaging to use for 60 days and then take a 30 day rest period. Definitely don't use it for 6 months at a time. Extended hyrdroquinone use can cause permanent discoloration ("banana bodies").

Important ingredient question: what do you think about DMAE for skin firming (especially neck) in skincare? I’m 43 and do have hormonal melasma. I didn’t get it during pregnancy, but a few years after. I also have endometriosis and wonder if it’s related. I do all of the things you recommend and have been talked out of laser treatments. Great advice! Unfortunately , it’s a daily maintenance…no quick or permanent fixes “magic bullets” as you say.

Thank you for this video! I have dealt with melasma for years. I tried to go without hydroquinone for awhile, but Cyspera only went so far, AND it was so expensive! Oral tranexamic acid works REALLY well, but my US dermatologist will not prescribe it to me. He says it’s too risky. I see a derm in Mexico too, but the tranexamic acid supply in Mex was nonexistent for awhile, so I’m off of it now. Topical tranexamic doesn’t work as well, but I use it faithfully morning and night (Naturium serum) after vitamin C (Dr. Brenner from Amazon). I don’t see tons of results, but I’m keeping the routine. I’m back on hydroquinone mixture 6% for now from my US derm, and it REALLY works well-until I cycle off it-which will be in another month. Doctor swears if I’m faithful to Heliocare 3x a day and sunblock, my melasma won’t come back… we’ll see. My melasma is best when I get a lot of sleep and have less stress (so that’s during the summer for me because I’m a teacher). If only I could live a stress free life and sleep in everyday! 🤣 Thanks again!

Oral tranexamic acid works amazing for me but keep in mind I’m not on birth control (contraindication), do not have a family history of blood clothes, and my dermatologist is aware that I eat healthy and exercise 4-5x/week. If you live a healthy lifestyle and see the dermatologist regularly (which I do for a series of laser treatments), you’re more likely to get a derm that feels comfortable prescribing it to you.

I didn't really understand the severity of it until probably 6 months into it and after I have my son, it kinda settle down a little bit. I ended up going and having a few micro needling facials done and the lady stated that chemical peels in between a couple microneedling sessions will really do a good turnover effect and resurfacing effect how do you feel about that?

Hi Doc! Very informative video! I've been fighting melasma SINCE I started medication for hypothyroidism. When you spoke about tyrosinase inhibitors, my lightbulb came on!! Don't know if it has anything to do with it, but something I have suspected. The name of my medication is Tirosint! Tirosint...tyrosinase ???? Definitely going to discuss with my derm! Thank you!

Great video! Have you ever used Mini Melanage Peel for Melasma? I’ve used it in the past for my melasma and had a great response. I believe it uses tretinoin and hydroquinone. I am an avid sunscreen user (mineral with tint).

Nowadays, in Thailand, the fractional PICO lase is very popular. I mean, people show off their bleeding face from PICO in social media. I don't think it's proper for our skin type. 🤨

My mom is a 50 year old Asian with Melasma, & the Derm recommended her not to get laser/ chemical peel or any kind of procedure done for her Melasma due to her being Asian and Asian skin doesn’t ever react well so she Says…. Other than products, What do you recommend for Asian skin Dr?

I struggle with melasma on my cheeks and it is really a pain in the butt..!!! 🤷‍♀️ I am constantly using treatments for both day & night. I'm currently using Tranexamic acid from The Inky List at pm, and Azelaic Emulsion from Naturium at am. I use spf from Dermatology, both chemical and physical. The prods are excellents..! Melasma sucks but sadly, it's something, those who have it, like me, have to learn to deal with it to keep it controled.

There’s alotta talk in this video & others that I’ve watched about melanin prevention… & I’m a light skinned black woman who in no way wants to stop the production of melanin in my skin… I hate being light skinned it’s so unattractive to me … so I’m glad I’ve come across this video & others who speak on which products to use to prevent melanin production… I have some melasma on my face/cheeks that I do want to gt rid of so I gotta keep researching on how to gt if it but that’s the only darkness on my skin that I’m dissatisfied with…

Dr I have a very serious concern regarding tretinoin...i started tretinoin 3 years ago in hopes to help my acne and hyperpigmentation...after using it for the 1 st month i saw i developed melasma like hyperpigmentation in my forehead and contour region (the skin area between the ears and cheeks) ... I never ever in my life had those melasma like thing before ... Its been three years and that shit is constant... I am a 100% sure i got it from tretinoin because when i stopped using it for like 1.5 months i saw significant decrease in that hyperpigmentation but when I restarted it( very very slowly i started with just a tiiiiiny rice grain amount, wore sunscreen religiously) i got those melasma like hyperpigmentation all over again.... I'm so depressed about it.. it's been 3 years n i really cant go around waiting for my skin to "fix"... No progress whatsoever...what should I do? Stop it forever?? It's a glorious product but that really deep brown hyperpigmentation is bugging me

Over a decade ago I started getting more noticeable dark spots on both of my checks, so I had laser procedures done and now I regret because I have now a permanent hyperpigmentation caused by laser burns and melasma also all over my face. My dark spots in my checks are bluish gray color. I have used every high end to cheap products and nothing seemed to help get rid of my spots 😢 my current skincare routine is vitamin c in the morning and moisturizer with SF 50 at night I used the Soosul Korean fabulous five set and incorporated and/or I altrenate tretinoin with 10% Azelaic acid from the ordinary one night then the next night I’ll used the naturium niacinemide then tranexamic acid. I see some lightening of my face but those dark spots on my cheeks doesn’t seemed to fade. Wearing foundation doesn’t cover my dark spots. 😢 What advice you might to recommend as I would love not to wear foundation and have a clear face. Thank you in advance.

I’m a Pacific Islander, and tan very easy. I use sunscreen but still suffer from melasma. Both my cheeks have it pretty bad. Not sure if it started with sun damage or hormonal. Plus my mom and grandma have it so it’s all of the above I guess. A derm doctor prescribed hydroquinone. Yes it helped fade but once I was done with the cream it came right back. And I’m loyal to my sunscreen. I just want a good regimen for skincare, and possibly something to help fade it but without hydroquinone… it’s horrible. ☹️I too lived in Hawaii for 6 year🤷🏻‍♀️
