What is the treatment duration or recommended interval for melasma treatment?
I tried my best to apply sunscreen diligently, but I am upset that faint pigmentation has appeared patchy on my cheeks, as shown in the attached photo. Since it doesn't cover well even with makeup, I plan to take this opportunity to visit a dermatologist and start proper melasma treatment.
If I stop by after work to receive anesthesia and laser treatment, how long will the total melasma treatment take? It seems like the melasma is looking more distinct because of the change of seasons.
Also, to see a noticeable improvement in my skin tone, I would like to know how often I should schedule my melasma treatments and how consistently I should attend to see good results. If anyone has recently received pigmentation care, sharing your experience would be a great help!

Since the interval for Pico Toning varies depending on your skin condition, it would be helpful to inform us of your work schedule during the consultation and ask at which session we should check your progress together. Please also make sure to thoroughly protect yourself from UV rays after the procedure!170026.10.23
