In this episode of MedSpa Mayhem, host Dr. Kate Dee chats with Dr. Jennifer Linder, a board-certified dermatologist, about the complex issue of melasma. They discuss what melasma is, its triggers, and why traditional treatments like lasers can sometimes make it worse. Instead, Dr. Linder recommends a series of chemical peels featuring specific ingredients like salicylic acid, mandelic acid, and trans-examic acid. They also cover important skincare routines, the role of diet and lifestyle changes, and more advanced treatments like oral tranexamic acid for resistant cases. This comprehensive conversation aims to equip sufferers and clinicians with effective strategies to manage this chronic skin condition.
