WHAT TO DO FOR MELASMA?

These discolored patches are related to hormones (esp estrogen), heredity, UV rays, and HEAT 🔥.

❄️ STAY COOL: Splash with cold water after workouts. Avoid long hot showers & steaming hot coffee & soup.

🌟 Look for TRANEXAMIC ACID (TXA), found in @skinmedica Even & Correct Serum (at drjessicawu.com).

🌟 I perform medical (deep) microneedling with Rx TXA solution (esp for those who are not a good fit for peels).

🌟 For stubborn melasma, I sometimes prescribe TXA pills--but always in discussion with my patient's internist/general physician.
