Do many of you feel that your skin tone has also become clearer after melasma treatment?

When I look in the mirror, I am worried about freckles, but I think the feeling that my skin looks dull overall is more stressful.

So even when I wear makeup, I don't look as vibrant as I used to, and there are many days when my skin looks unusually dark in photos.

I am looking into melasma treatment because of these concerns, and while reading reviews, I saw quite a few people saying that not only did the melasma fade, but their overall skin tone also brightened, so I became curious if such changes really exist.

For those of you who have received melasma treatment, was the first change you noticed the melasma itself? Or did you first feel that your entire skin became clearer?

I’ve heard that some of you have heard from people around you that your skin has improved, and I’m curious to know how many sessions it usually took to notice such changes.

I thought I would be satisfied if my freckles just faded a little, but if it evens out my skin tone as well, it makes me want to start even sooner haha.

As someone considering melasma treatment, I am most curious about actual experiences. Please feel free to share everything, from what you were satisfied with to what differed from your expectations!
