Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am undergoing Q-switched laser treatment along with the use of Hydroquinone to treat my melasma. However, I would like to know if the use of stem cell creams can worsen the melasma by encouraging the growth of melanin? Currently, I am taking Tranexamic acid, Cipramil, Valdoxan.
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Stem cells have higher doses of pigment in them. So, theoretically yes, the creams that stimulate stem cells may worsen melasma.
Thanks and regards.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Thank you for your reply.
That is disappointing. I was looking at using the Biopelle Tensage stem cell cream. Should I continue?
Please help.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I am sorry about that. You can use a Glycolic acid, Kojic acid, Hydroquinone or Azaleic acid-based cream for melasma. Sun protection is a must. Take care.
Hope it helps.
Thank you.
