It's stressful seeing all these patchy spots every time I look in the mirror ㅠㅠ How much would it cost to get rid of freckles and blemishes? lol

Lately, I’ve been keeping a pretty floor lamp on in my room. It creates a nice atmosphere, but every time I look in the mirror under the light, I get shocked by how starkly the pigmentation on my cheekbones is revealed, haha. I usually just roughly covered them with concealer, but now that the melasma and blemishes aren't even covered by makeup, I feel like I need to find a fundamental solution. Blaming my past self for not applying sunscreen diligently, I spend every night reading through reviews on the general discussion board about melasma and blemish treatments, haha. I heard that you have to buy a 10-session package for treatments like Excel V or Pico Laser and go consistently to get your face as clear as a blank canvas, but since melasma and blemishes are hard to get rid of once they appear, I’m steeling myself and looking for a clinic. Are there any of you who have successfully treated pigmentation and achieved smooth, peeled-egg-like skin?

I'm asking because I want to mentally prepare myself for the average cost of a 10-session package for melasma and blemishes haha. I know it varies greatly from clinic to clinic, but I'm worried that if I go just anywhere because it's cheap, I won't see any results ㅠㅠ Please share all your invaluable tips in the comments!
