Which blemish treatment is the most effective? Haha

Lately, every time I look in the mirror, it feels like more and more blemishes are appearing on my face, and it’s seriously stressing me out. In the past, makeup could cover them up to some extent, but these days, even when I apply foundation, they look patchy and seem to stand out even more, which is really bothering me. It particularly bothers me because the blemishes seem to be concentrated on my cheeks and cheekbones.

So I started looking into treatments for blemishes, but there are so many types that it's even more confusing lol. Laser toning, Pico toning, IPL, Ruby laser—they all say it's good for treating blemishes, but I don't really know what the differences are. I don't know which treatment is right for me, and I'm worried that if I choose the wrong one and it doesn't work, I'll just be wasting my money.

I am especially worried because I can't even tell the exact difference between melasma and blemishes. The hospital told me that they need to be viewed differently, so I am wondering if blemish treatments can improve them in this case as well. I would also like to know if a single session is effective or if multiple sessions are required.

For those of you who have actually received blemish treatments, please let me know which procedure you were most satisfied with!! I'm also curious when you started to feel the effects~~
