I'm confused about the criteria for choosing a dermatology laser treatment. Please give me some advice.
Lately, I've been concerned about blemishes and a dull complexion, so I'm looking into laser treatments. However, there are so many types that I'm at a loss as to what criteria to use when choosing one. It is difficult to properly understand the differences between treatments with similar names, such as Pico Toning, Blemish Laser, and Toning.
What questions should I ask during the initial consultation to determine if this procedure is suitable for my skin? I am also curious whether the effects are visible after just one or two sessions, or if multiple sessions are required.
I also want to know how much it interferes with my daily life after the procedure. I am worried about whether it is okay to go out or wear makeup immediately, and how long I need to wait if redness or scabs form.
I would be very grateful if those who have resolved similar concerns could share what they looked at first when choosing a procedure.
