In this episode of the "Beauty Doc Podcast," Dr. Kopelman and Dr. Tanghetti explore how to treat issues of pigmentation, particularly focusing on melasma, a condition that disproportionately affects women of color and is exacerbated by sun exposure and hormones. Dr. Tanghetti explains the complex nature of melasma, the importance of sun avoidance, and various treatment options, including topical agents like Tranexamic acid and retinoids, as well as laser treatments like the picosecond laser with fractional optics. The discussion also touches on the use of Thulium fiber lasers and the potential risks associated with certain treatments. If you want to know how to manage melasma this is the discussion to listen to.
