Has anyone been treated for mylasma - or hyperpigmentation of the skin? I have a couple of spots on my face and have tried bleaching creams. They lightened the spots, but the spots are beginning to darken again. I consulted a dermaesthician - who' s consultation nurse did not know what Tri Luma was (that did not inspire my confidence AT ALL). The advice I was given was to undergo a light treatment therapy alternating with microdermabrasion. This would have to take place over a course of three months - and there is no guarantee that it will work. Not to mention - it is *expensive*. My third and final option, I guess, is to have a chemical peel. This has to be performed by a plastic surgeon. Has anyone had any experience with chemical peels?
