Review and Benefits of Regaining Brightness After Starting Melasma Treatment for Facial Spots That Became Noticeably Darkened Since My Mid-30s
📌 1. Visited Branch: "Maypure Mia Branch"
Hello! I'm writing this post because I'm so happy to finally get rid of those dull spots that used to stress me out every time I looked in the mirror. Back in my 20s, I used to get compliments on my skin even if I just applied sunscreen half-heartedly, but as I moved into my mid-30s, brown spots started appearing one by one around both of my cheekbones. At first, I thought they were just simple blemishes, but as time went on, they spread out more widely and were difficult to cover even with makeup, so I was really worried about it.
I had gone through several jars of expensive whitening cream, but I found that pigmentation deeply embedded in the skin simply could not be removed with cosmetics alone. Eventually, realizing that the only fundamental solution was a dermatological procedure, I headed to the Maypure Mia branch near my home. I had a thorough consultation with the director, who explained that the pigmentation spread across my face was not just simple blemishes but required consistent care. She recommended laser treatment for melasma. I decided to undergo consistent, customized laser toning to break down the pigmentation located differently in each layer of my skin.
The melasma treatment I underwent was almost painless, to the point where I didn't even need to apply anesthetic cream. It was just a slight stinging sensation and a faint burning smell when the laser touched my skin, so even someone like me, who is a total wimp, was able to receive the treatment very comfortably. I think this is the biggest advantage of the melasma treatment. Since it doesn't interfere with my daily life at all, I can get the treatment lightly after work and go home to rest fully. Furthermore, since I could wash my face and apply makeup immediately after the procedure, there was absolutely no burden when going to work.
I have consistently received laser treatments for melasma at Maypure Mia Branch about 6 times so far, and I could definitely see my complexion brighten up significantly starting from the 3rd session. The pigmentation on my cheekbones, which I used to have to cover thickly with concealer, has now faded to the point where it is barely visible even with just a light tap of a cushion foundation. My overall skin tone has also become clearer, so I feel less embarrassed even when going to the convenience store in front of my house without makeup.
Of course, I will need to continue receiving melasma treatment diligently to get rid of it completely, but I am extremely satisfied with just this level of improvement. The director emphasized that after the laser treatment, I should apply plenty of moisturizer, and that sunscreen is a necessity, not an option, when going out, so I am taking very thorough care of my skin these days haha. If you are stressed about patchy pigmentation spread across your face, I strongly recommend starting melasma treatment as soon as possible. The longer you delay, the darker it gets, so starting early seems to be the way to save money in the long run.
