What are the benefits of receiving consistent treatment for melasma?

Lately, my skin looks dull overall, and the melasma on my cheekbones seems to be getting darker, so I am looking into dermatological treatment. I didn't really mind it before, but it has become stressful because that area looks particularly dark in photos.

I heard that treating melasma requires consistent management rather than just a couple of laser treatments, so I became curious about the actual benefits of this treatment before I start. Besides simply lightening the pigmentation, does it also have the effect of making the skin tone look clearer or improving the overall complexion?

I especially want the patchy look to be reduced when I'm barefaced, and I would be satisfied if it just meant I didn't have to use a thick layer of concealer when applying makeup.

If anyone has consistently received melasma treatment, I am curious to know what the most satisfying benefit was. I would also appreciate it if you could let me know if there are cases where the treatment causes severe irritation or actually makes the color darker.

    기미랑 잡티를 같이 관리할 수 있는지도 궁금하네요. 좋은 질문 감사합니다.
