I would like to know about the effectiveness of melasma lasers, how to distinguish between different types of pigmentation, and what to check before a consultation.

I sometimes notice small blemishes around my cheekbones, so I would like to identify the type of pigmentation first. Before considering laser treatment for melasma, I am curious about the criteria used during the consultation to differentiate between melasma, blemishes, and traces left behind after skin troubles. During a consultation for melasma laser treatment, which do you examine first: the depth and extent of the pigmentation, skin sensitivity, recent UV exposure, or products currently being used? Since the condition can vary by area, I would like to hear an explanation not only about the expected changes but also about cases where the treatment might not be suitable and the recovery period. If I am considering laser treatment for melasma, I would like to ask if the number of sessions is adjusted based on progress rather than being determined from the start, and what lifestyle management I should prepare for if redness or dryness occurs after the procedure. Would it be helpful to bring photos and a list of products I have recently used before the consultation? I would like to establish a plan after assessing my current condition rather than making an unreasonable decision.
