How is the consultation structured when melasma and acne marks are visible together?
I am looking into a consultation because I am concerned about both pigmentation that looks like melasma and marks left after breakouts. At home, the two look quite similar, so I am wondering which area I should check first. During the consultation, would it be helpful to mention when they started, whether they change depending on the season or UV exposure, and if I have recently used any cosmetics or exfoliating products? I would also like to ask if we can determine the next course of treatment after a consultation, by first examining my skin condition and the type of pigmentation, rather than deciding on a laser immediately. If I am considering a procedure, I would like to be informed in advance about sun protection, moisturization, how long I need to adjust my current products, and whether temporary redness might occur. I am curious to know what questions others who have consulted with similar concerns asked first.
