About this episode
Brisbane dermatologist Dr Davin Lim is joined by Nick Dubinin, business development manager for Advanced Cosmeceuticals.
We explore what melasma is, why it occurs, which patients are most affected and why it is so difficult to treat: hormones, genetics and environmental triggers, the critical role of sun protection, and why some traditional treatments made it worse. We then learn about gentle, consistent laser approaches, including Lutronic's Spectra XT and LaseMD, combining topicals and tranexamic acid with laser, managing recurrence, and options for resistant cases.
