I just want to get rid of a few dark, spot-like blemishes. Do people often get laser treatments for this kind of case?
I don't really have a lot of blemishes all over my face, but strangely, there are a few dark ones that really stand out lol.
In particular, there is one brown blemish near my cheekbone that shows up so clearly whenever I take a picture. I usually cover it with concealer, but as my makeup starts to wear off in the afternoon, it reappears, which is actually bothering me.
I don't want to treat my entire face, but I really want to neatly clean up just a few areas where the marks are deeply ingrained. I'm asking this question because I'm wondering what kind of laser treatment I should look into in this case :)
I looked it up, and it seems that laser treatments for pigmentation come in various forms, such as multi-session methods like toning, as well as methods that focus on specific areas. To me, they just look like blemishes, but since I heard the approach can vary depending on the specific type, I guess I shouldn't try to judge on my own.
Has anyone else received laser treatment for dark pigmentation spots on their face like me? I am curious if there are cases where they fade noticeably after just one session, or if this requires multiple treatments.
I've also seen comments saying that the area turns into a scab after the procedure, so I'd like to know how noticeable it actually is. I'm wondering if it's something I can cover with makeup until it naturally falls off, or if I just have to accept that it will be noticeable for a few days.
I am wondering if pigmentation can reappear after laser treatment. I would also like to know if it lasts a long time once removed, or if it could reappear in the same location if exposed to a lot of UV rays.
I tend to spend a fair amount of time outdoors, so I apply sunscreen consistently, but I'm not the type to go as far as carrying a hat or parasol. If I get the procedure, will I need to change these lifestyle habits significantly?
If anyone has managed similar blemishes with laser treatment, please let me know about the procedure, recovery period, and your satisfaction level.
