My facial melasma has gotten darker after giving birth. Is it possible to treat it?
I didn't have this much pigmentation on my face before giving birth, but after delivery, brown spots started becoming noticeable on my cheekbones and forehead. I thought they would naturally fade over time, but they have lasted longer than I expected. It takes a long time to cover them up every time I apply makeup, so now I would like to try managing them properly.
I am wondering if melasma that appeared after childbirth can be managed using standard melasma treatments. If it is related to hormonal changes, I would also like to know if it would be better to wait a little longer for treatment.
Is there a possibility that my skin will become sensitive or that the pigmentation will actually darken when receiving melasma treatment? I am also curious whether the type of treatment is determined after checking my current skin condition first, and what criteria are used to select the method among the various options. Please let me know if there are any preparations or checks I need to make before starting treatment.

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.

- 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.200026.10.22

- 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
