I'm looking into Pico Toning laser treatment for freckles and blemishes. Is it effective?

As summer passed, the melasma and blemishes on my face seem to have deepened significantly, and I get stressed every time I look in the mirror. Since they don't cover well even with makeup, I started looking into laser treatments at a dermatology clinic. I became interested because I heard that Pico Toning is very popular these days for treating pigmentation, as it is more effective than traditional toning. I read reviews stating that it breaks down pigments into smaller particles, resulting in less irritation and faster results. I am curious to know if it really takes just a few sessions to see clear skin. I would also like to know if the pain is severe and if it is possible to return to daily life immediately after the procedure. I am considering visiting a clinic this weekend for a consultation on Pico Toning, so I would appreciate your advice.
