Honest answers
Melasma is a chronic condition — hormones, UV exposure, heat, and visible light all reactivate it. Treatment manages the disease rather than curing it. Patients who achieve long-term remission are the ones who maintain strict SPF, minimize heat exposure, and stay on maintenance topicals. Laser alone rarely produces lasting results without lifestyle changes.
