For blemishes on my cheekbones, which would be better: Pico Toning or a blemish laser?
I am a man in my mid-30s. I haven't really paid much attention to my skin, but lately when I look in the mirror, I see quite a few brown blemishes on my cheekbones.
I think not applying sunscreen properly while working outdoors in the summer was a big factor.
At first, I thought they were just freckles, but when I took a close-up shot, they were darker and more numerous than I expected, so I plan to get them trimmed this fall.
I looked into it and found that there are Pico Toning and laser treatments for blemishes. I am wondering which one would be more suitable for my case. I have a few dark spots that look like moles, mixed with some lighter, spread-out ones.
Also, since I work, I would like to know how long it takes for scabs to form or for the area to turn red after the procedure. If I get the procedure done on the weekend and go to work on Monday, will it not be very noticeable?
My pores on my nose and cheeks are also on the larger side, so I would appreciate recommendations for ways to manage them together. I am also curious to know how many sessions those who have received this treatment received.

Please make sure to check during your consultation how much redness or irritation will occur immediately after the procedure, and whether makeup can be applied on the same day.

- 02CommentsFor your first visit, it would be easier to schedule if you check the consultation, preparation, and soothing care separately, in addition to the procedure time. When making the reservation, it would be helpful to ask if it is possible to have just the consultation first, and also when to reapply sunscreen after returning home.250026.10.19
- 03CommentsI imagine you must be quite self-conscious if the condition cannot be covered well even with makeup. I haven't received the treatment myself yet, so I cannot provide a review, but I would like to confirm what timeframe is used to confirm that the claim of improvement without recurrence is based. It would also be helpful to ask the clinic if the care methods or recovery periods differ when consulting about both the eye area and the cheeks together.220026.10.18

Since even blemishes that look similar on the surface need to be identified as specific types first, I am curious about your consultation criteria.
