Review of the 5th treatment session for the dark spots and melasma covering my face

📌 1. Visited Branch: "Maypure Hongdae Station Branch"

Since I enjoy outdoor activities and drive frequently, dark pigmentation started appearing on my cheekbones at some point. At first, I thought they were just light blemishes, so I applied plenty of whitening cream and tried Vitamin C serum, but the affected area gradually expanded and the color deepened to the point where even concealer couldn't cover it. Every time I looked in the mirror without makeup, my skin tone looked dull and I looked older, which caused me extreme stress. Realizing that hyperpigmentation absolutely cannot be treated with home care, I visited the Maypure Cheonho branch near my home, which is known for its excellent melasma treatment, to receive a consultation.

After carefully examining my face with a magnifying glass, the doctor explained that consistent laser toning treatments are essential because my skin is a mixture of blemishes on the epidermis and pigments deep within the dermis. He honestly told me that due to the nature of melasma treatment, it is difficult to see results after just one or two sessions and that it requires a long-term approach, which actually made me trust him even more. Each time the laser toning procedure was performed, it felt like a crackling sound and a slight snapping of a rubber band, but there was almost no pain, so I was able to receive the treatment comfortably without anesthetic cream. I was so grateful because I could feel the doctor applying the laser more meticulously to the areas with darker pigmentation.

I have just completed my 5th session, and I can definitely see my overall facial tone becoming clearer, and the pigmentation on my cheekbones, which used to be quite dark, has noticeably faded. Before, I had to apply thick foundation and then layer on concealer just to barely cover it, but now my skin looks really clean even with just a light cushion foundation. Haha. Actually, I was worried that the cost might be a burden since I need to get multiple sessions, but I was so relieved that I was able to sign up for a package at a reasonable price thanks to the ongoing promotion. After the procedure, I am paying a lot of attention to aftercare, reapplying sunscreen frequently and diligently using moisturizing masks. I feel like I will be able to fully regain my confidence in my bare face once I finish all the remaining sessions, so I plan to continue getting melasma treatments! If you have a dull skin tone, make sure to get a laser consultation before it's too late.
