At some point, brown spots started appearing on both of my cheekbones, and they seem to be getting darker. At first, I thought they were just blemishes and didn't think much of it, but they don't cover well even with makeup, and they stand out more in the sunlight, so it is bothering me. I have tried using whitening cosmetics consistently, but I haven't noticed much of a difference.
In this case, how much improvement can I expect from melasma treatment? I have heard that although melasma and general blemishes look similar on the surface, their treatment methods are different. I am curious to know what criteria hospitals use to distinguish between them.
I would like to know how many sessions are typically required when starting melasma treatment, and whether the interval between treatments varies depending on skin condition. Please also advise on any special daily precautions I should take during treatment, in addition to sun protection.

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.160026.10.21
- 03CommentsI was also curious about the fact that it is difficult to distinguish between melasma and blemishes on the surface. If I have sensitive skin, I would like to hear an explanation of what kind of irritation to expect before determining the number of treatment sessions. Regarding when I can wash my face or apply makeup, it would be helpful to receive guidance on what to do if redness persists, rather than just being told the dates.190026.10.22

- 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
