Tres cosas que jamás le haría a mi piel como dermatóloga que tiene melasma

In this YouTube segment, dermatologist Shereene Idriss shares three practices she would never repeat on her melasma‑prone skin. First, she warns against hot yoga, saunas, and any intense heat because increased blood flow can stimulate melanocytes and reactivate brown patches. Second, she cautions against certain laser and light‑based resurfacing treatments (IPL, Fraxel, Clear & Brilliant) that emit heat; without a consistent skincare regimen these lasers can worsen melasma rather than cure it. Third, she describes a negative personal experience with red/infrared LED therapy, noting that the red light intensified her spots, while suggesting that green LED might be beneficial but is hard to find. Throughout, she emphasizes keeping the skin cool, calm, and supported by a regular skincare routine.
