Melasma has multiple causes and therefore has multiple treatments. It is likely a lifelong condition but can be held under control. Steps to successfully treat melasma inclu -Avoid UV light and exposure and wear daily sunscreen -Use of topicals (skin lighteners, retinols, etc) -Use of chemical peels (i.e. melanage, etc) -Use of LASERS (i.e. IPL, erbium, Nd:YAG, ablative treatments) Anil R.

AbstractBACKGROUND: Treatment of melasma and postinflammatory hyperpigmentation is often challenging. No ideal short-term and long-term treatment is available. Vitamin C alone and in combination with iontophoresis has been studied and found to be useful; however, no long-term studies have been published.METHODS: In this study, 35 patients (34 female, 1 male) were treated with a novel full-face iontophoresis mask (FFIM) and a proprietary vitamin C (ascorbyl glucoside) preparation.
Patients received one in-office treatment and 12 to 24 at-home treatments over 1 to 2 months in conjunction with a strict maintenance regimen consisting of a mandelic/malic acid skin care regimen, broad-spectrum ultraviolet A/ultraviolet B sunblock, a wide-brimmed hat, and sun-avoidance behavior. Follow-up after the initial in-office treatment ranged from 1 to 54 months (mean, 26 months). Four independent observers graded improvement of melasma and PIH using a 4-point scale. Before the study, high-performance liquid chromatography was used to verify iontophoretic penetration of vitamin C into the skin to a level of 0.2 cm in healthy volunteers (2 male, 2 female).RESULTS: A mean 73% improvement in abnormal pigmentation was observed at the end of FFIM/vitamin C treatment. Greater than 25% improvement was observed in 32 of 35 patients, and greater than 50% improvement in 22 of 35 patients. Melasma Area and Severity Index scores demonstrated substantial improvement from baseline for all patients, with a mean improvement of 15.7.CONCLUSIONS: Full-face iontophoresis of vitamin C appears to be an effective short-term treatment for melasma and postinflammatory hyperpigmentation.
A protocol of strict sun avoidance in combination with a mandelic/malic acid skin care regimen appears to be useful in maintaining the improvement.PMID: 23377327 [Indexed for MEDLINE] MeSH termsAdultAscorbic Acid/administration & dosageAscorbic Acid/pharmacokineticsAscorbic Acid/therapeutic use*Chromatography, High Pressure LiquidFemaleFollow-Up StudiesHumansHyperpigmentation/complicationsHyperpigmentation/drug therapy*IontophoresisMalates/administration & dosageMalates/therapeutic use*MaleMandelic Acids/administration & dosageMandelic Acids/therapeutic use*MasksMelanosis/complicationsMelanosis/drug therapy*Middle AgedSkin/chemistrySkin AbsorptionSunscreening Agents/therapeutic useTreatment OutcomeVitamins/administration & dosageVitamins/pharmacokineticsVitamins/therapeutic use*SubstancesMalatesMandelic AcidsSunscreening AgentsVitaminsmalic acidmandelic acidAscorbic AcidFull Text SourcesSanovaWorksOther Literature SourcesSee the articles recommended by F1000Prime's Faculty of more than 8,000 leading experts in Biology and Medicine.
