My skin tone looks dull overall due to light melasma on both cheeks and under my eyes, so I am considering melasma treatment.
I have heard that since melasma involves pigmentation deeply embedded in the dermis, treatment typically involves gradually breaking down the pigment using laser toning or pico toning rather than applying strong stimulation. For those who have undergone toning laser treatments, how many sessions did it take to notice the visible pigmentation fading or the skin tone brightening? I am curious if you experienced any adverse reactions during or after the procedure, such as the pigmentation becoming darker (commonly known as lentigo) or rebound hyperpigmentation. Additionally, aside from applying sunscreen regularly, I would like to know if you followed any supplementary care routines to prevent the melasma pigmentation from reappearing.
Do you have any honest reviews or pigmentation management tips from those who have personally experienced melasma treatment?
