Inquiry regarding treatment cycle for melasma and freckles
Lately, I've been noticing melasma and freckles on my face, so I'm considering getting a dermatological procedure. I didn't really mind them before, but as I get older, it seems like dark spots are gradually increasing around my cheekbones and on my cheeks. Even when I try to cover them with makeup, they don't completely disappear, so I really want to take proper care of them this time.
While researching treatments for melasma and freckles, I learned that there are various types of laser procedures, and that in some cases, a single session isn't sufficient. So, I'm wondering how often I should typically receive treatments once I start. Is it possible to get them at weekly intervals, or does the recommended spacing vary depending on the type of procedure?
I’ve heard that melasma can actually darken if it is irritated too much, so rather than getting treatments indiscriminately, I want to manage it according to my skin condition. I’m also curious if freckles and melasma can be treated together, and I’d like to know how many sessions are usually needed to see a change!
Has anyone here received treatments for melasma or freckles at Maypure? I would love to hear your experiences regarding the actual procedures you underwent and how you were advised on the treatment intervals. I am also curious about how much attention I need to pay to sun protection and moisturizing after the procedure!!

- 03CommentsEven for a small brown area next to the nose, it is difficult to distinguish between a mole, freckle, or other pigmentation based solely on a photo, so please get a medical examination first. Providing information on when the spots increased, previous photos, and the products you used will be helpful for the consultation. For areas prone to redness, it would be beneficial to check not only the type of pigmentation but also the current state of irritation, and to receive guidance on criteria for postponing laser treatments and moisturizing methods.970026.11.02
