Hello. I am writing this post because I am so stressed every time I look in the mirror these days. Sometime ago, dark spots started appearing around my eyes and cheeks, and now they have become so dark that they are difficult to cover even with makeup. I have tried applying sunscreen diligently and taking vitamins, but home care alone just isn't working. It seems to be becoming more noticeable as I get older, so every time I look in the mirror, I feel upset and my self-esteem plummets. I feel like I can't just leave it like this, so I am looking into melasma treatment procedures at a dermatology clinic. However, I am suddenly scared because people around me have told me that if melasma is handled incorrectly, it can actually get darker or cause side effects like hyperpigmentation. The cost of treatment is one thing, but I am also worried that the effects might be temporary. Is there anyone out there who suffered from melasma like me and saw results after receiving laser toning or other treatments? I am really curious to hear reviews on which treatments were effective and whether there were any side effects.

- 02CommentsSince blackheads and enlarged pores require different treatment goals, it would be helpful to ask during the consultation if they can be differentiated first. As the number of sessions varies from person to person, please try to schedule an evaluation together after the first treatment.220026.11.04

- 02CommentsI heard that the interval for Pico Toning is determined differently depending on your skin condition and the type of pigmentation. If you are worried about getting treatments too frequently, ask them to set the interval based on your skin type during the consultation, and also inquire at which session you want to check your progress. They say it is really important to be meticulous about sun protection after the procedure!7120026.10.22
