I would appreciate recommendations for treatments for melasma that has darkened during the summer.

Hello. I am a man in my mid-30s. I didn't usually pay much attention to my skin, but as I went through this summer, the condition of my face changed noticeably, so after much thought, I am writing this post.

Recently, dark spots and pigmentation have suddenly started appearing around both cheekbones and on my cheeks. At first, I thought it was just simple tanning or a temporary phenomenon, but as time goes by, the affected area seems to be expanding and the color getting darker. I am under a lot of stress because my complexion looks dull and dark every time I look in the mirror. I am now regretting that I haven't been diligently applying sunscreen, as I suspect this is the cause.

I am looking into hospital treatments to manage my skin systematically, even now. I am curious about which laser procedures are particularly effective for treating melasma in men's skin characteristics or in their 30s.
