How long does the effect last after melasma laser treatment?
It seems like there are many people worried about melasma these days.
I am writing this post because I have a question for those who have received laser treatment for melasma.
How long do the effects usually last after removing pigmentation with a melasma laser?
I am wondering how many years I can maintain clear skin after a single treatment, or if it is common for melasma to reappear over time.
After searching online, I found that there are various types of laser treatments for melasma, and it seems the duration of the results varies from person to person.
In particular, I would like to know how important UV protection and consistent care are for preventing recurrence after the procedure.
I would appreciate it if those who have personally received melasma laser treatment could share their experiences regarding how long the effects lasted and whether there was any recurrence.

- 01CommentsIt must be very stressful for you that enlarged pores and scars are difficult to cover up even with makeup. I am also looking into laser treatments, and I’ve heard that combining PicoFraxel or Subcision is very effective.570026.11.09
- 02CommentsI sympathize with you because I share the same concerns regarding melasma that appeared after pregnancy. From what I learned during my consultation, Dual Toning combines toning treatments with different wavelengths, so it is often chosen when there is a mix of epidermal blemishes and melasma deep within the dermis. While combining them is sometimes recommended for widely spread melasma because a single wavelength doesn't produce an even response, the final decision depends on skin thickness and pigment depth, so it is best to confirm this during a consultation for accuracy. The intervals are usually set at 1 to 2 weeks, and you need to receive at least 5 sessions consistently to see results; I was advised to take photos under the same lighting at the 3rd or 4th session to compare them. You should apply sunscreen immediately on the day of the procedure, and it is safe to start applying makeup the following day. Reapplying sunscreen every 2 to 3 hours and carrying a hat or parasol can significantly reduce concerns about recurrence. I hope you achieve great results!540026.11.09
