I am wondering if the recommended number of melasma laser sessions is determined during the first consultation.

I would like to schedule a consultation because the melasma on my cheekbones is not fading even in winter. I have no prior experience with the procedure, so I would like to estimate the overall schedule before starting the laser treatment.

I would like to know if the recommended number of melasma laser treatments is roughly determined during the first consultation based on skin condition, or if it is adjusted after a few sessions. I would also like to ask if the intervals are adjusted differently considering daily UV exposure, even if I work long hours indoors.

I would also like to know how you check progress between sessions and whether you compare photos under the same conditions. I am curious whether, in cases where melasma and blemishes are mixed, you proceed with a single melasma laser treatment or divide the treatment by area.

I would like to proceed while monitoring my skin's reaction rather than unnecessarily increasing the number of sessions, so I would like to know in advance what criteria are used to establish a treatment plan during the melasma laser consultation. I will use your response as a reference when preparing for the consultation.
