Hi , I have been struggling with hyperpigmentation which developed during my pregnancy three years ago.  I have been on chemical peel treatments once a month for almost  2 1/2 years now but the marks wont go away. I have waisted a lot of money on creams and facial products with no success. Yesterday I saw Demelan at Phamarcy and read a little bit about it and it sounds promising but I would just like to know what are the chances that it will work because I cant handle another disappointment and I am really frustrated with my face. Any other treatment or product that you can suggest?RegardsVirginia
Hi You have a condition called Plasma/Plasma. It's difficult to cure it completely, and sometimes it can come back again after clearing. It's a frustrating condition bot for the patient and doctor equally. Anyway there are multiple modalities available: Ideally you should use a broad spectrum sunscreen with all forms of treatment, which protects you both from UVB and UVA rays and apply it every 3-4 hours. A treatment plan whicChatDoctorbines exfoliation of already existing pigment with that which reduces synthesis of new melanin works better than undergoing just exfoliation of existing pigment(like you are undergoing glycol peels)Demean contains glycolic acid, which is exfoliating and will help reduce existing pigment, and it contains comic acid and albumin, both of them help reduce synthesis of new pigment. So it's a logical combination. Always used broad spectrum sunscreen with any form of treatment
