As I get older, I find myself noticing moles and blemishes on my face one by one that I didn't used to pay much attention to. My existing moles seem to have darkened slightly, and there are areas around my cheeks and cheekbones that have spread widely like melasma, so I find myself self-conscious every time I look in the mirror these days. Although makeup covers them up to some extent, my overall skin tone feels dull, so I am thinking of taking this opportunity to get a proper consultation at a dermatology clinic.
I thought moles could simply be removed with a laser, but since I heard that melasma requires consistent care rather than a single treatment to eliminate it, I am unsure which treatment to choose. I am also wondering if I can receive mole removal and melasma treatment at the same time, or if it is better to treat them one by one first. My skin has become much drier and more sensitive than before, so I want to avoid overly irritating procedures.
If anyone has received treatments for moles or melasma at Maypure, please share your experience and tell me which procedures were recommended. It seems that laser treatments like toning are commonly used for melasma, but I am curious how many sessions are actually required to see results. I would also like to know how long scabs or red marks last after mole removal. I am looking for a method that allows for consistent care without being too burdensome for my skin in my 50s.

- 01CommentsIf this is your first laser treatment, I imagine you are concerned not only about the pain but also about your schedule afterward. It would be helpful to mention during the consultation that you have a low pain tolerance and to confirm if the procedure can be paused temporarily if you experience discomfort. Before an important appointment, I would also like to be informed of the guidelines for contacting them if redness persists, in addition to the average recovery period.180026.10.22
- 02CommentsI imagine you are concerned about the downtime before returning to work. 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. Scheduling a time slot that fits your schedule will put your mind at ease.170026.10.21
- 03CommentsThanks to your detailed questions, it seems you are well-prepared for the consultation. If you have sensitive skin, it is a good idea to ask in advance about the level of pain or redness before the procedure. If you have work on weekdays, please also check the downtime schedule and sun protection at home.191026.10.21

- 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.260026.10.19
- 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.230026.10.18
