I'm curious about the duration of the results from the treatment for melasma and blemishes.

I've been struggling with melasma and blemishes for two years now, so I received three sessions of Pico Toning last summer. At first, it seemed like they had faded a bit, but they started coming back after the winter passed.

My melasma and blemishes recurred exactly 6 months after the treatment. When do they usually come back for others?

I'm thinking of trying again by switching to a different laser, like IPL or Fraxel.

Could it have recurred just because I only applied sunscreen in the summer? I wonder what causes it even when I stay indoors.

If I get another treatment in the fall and just maintain it well, will I be able to last a year?

I would be really grateful if you could let me know of any treatment combinations that have a long-lasting effect!
