What are the recommended number of melasma laser treatments, the initial plan, and the adjustment criteria based on progress?

I am curious about the criteria used to determine the recommended number of sessions during the initial melasma laser consultation. Since treatment plans can vary depending on the examination results even for the same pigmentation concerns, how is the method of determining the total number of sessions from the start distinguished from the method of re-evaluating after a few sessions?
I would like to ask if, when planning melasma laser treatment, you also check recent cosmetics used, other skincare history, and UV exposure levels in addition to the location and distribution of pigmentation. If there are any records that would be helpful to prepare before the consultation, I would like to receive specific guidance.
Also, if my skin becomes dry or irritated during melasma laser treatment, what are the criteria for postponing the next appointment or changing the plan? I would like to know if you simply monitor the fading of the color or if you also evaluate the condition of the skin. I would also like to know how the timing for intermediate check-ups is determined, separate from the estimated number of sessions.
Lastly, when checking the cost during the melasma laser consultation, could I also be informed whether the treatment scope, aftercare, and follow-up consultations are included? I am asking because I want to make a decision after fully understanding the consultation details, rather than just comparing the number of sessions.
