I would appreciate recommendations for melasma treatments.

Hello! The weather has gotten much hotter lately, and the sunlight has become so strong, hasn't it? 😂 I really love summer, too, but the melasma that appears around this time of year is seriously stressing me out. ㅠㅠ

I do try to apply sunscreen quite thoroughly when I go out. Even though I choose one with a high SPF and apply it generously, it seems impossible to block it completely, perhaps because the UV rays are so strong.

I tend to get particularly noticeable dark spots on my cheeks and around my cheekbones. They get darker after the summer, so I just sigh every time I look in the mirror. There is a limit to how much I can cover them with concealer, and it feels like my makeup is getting too thick, so I am seriously considering getting a dermatological procedure this time!

I searched online and saw that there are many toning and other laser treatments available. I'm curious which one would be right for my skin type and the condition of my melasma, and if it would really be effective. Are there any other treatments besides laser toning that help with melasma management, and how many sessions do I usually need to see noticeable changes?

I would appreciate your valuable experiences and recommendations from those who have received treatments at a dermatology clinic! I want to have clear skin before summer ends.
