Is laser treatment the right way to get rid of melasma?

Because of the melasma I've had for a long time, I've always lacked confidence and was very self-conscious about what others thought.

It’s not just a few scattered spots; they completely fill both cheeks.

I try my best to always wear sunscreen and wrap my face tightly with something like a neck warmer.

On days with a high UV index, try to avoid going out as much as possible, and use cosmetics specifically designed for blemishes on a regular basis.

But actually, I understand that it is impossible to get rid of melasma with home care; if anything, it might get worse. Is that correct?

I would like to remove it with a laser if possible. Which laser should I receive?

I’ve heard that it is very painful and difficult to get rid of completely, so I’m curious if that is really true.
