I would like to inquire about laser treatment for melasma on my cheeks.
I have had melasma on my cheeks for quite a while, but I am writing to ask because it seems to have gotten darker recently.
I apply sunscreen every day and have tried various whitening cosmetics, but I haven't noticed any significant difference. People around me say that laser treatment is effective, but I've also heard that the appropriate laser varies depending on the type of melasma. I've also heard that the treatment differs depending on whether it is epidermal or dermal; can this be confirmed during a consultation?
My skin is on the sensitive side, so honestly, my biggest concern is irritation or side effects after the procedure. I’ve occasionally seen stories about pigmentation spreading or discoloration occurring after laser treatments. I would like to know if there is a skin type check before the procedure, how long the recovery period typically is, and when I can return to my daily routine.
May I ask if I can receive a consultation first without any cost?
