This is a question regarding the treatment of UV-induced melasma that worsened after an outdoor round of golf.
2026.07.27 23:19
Hello. I am writing to inquire because my skin pigmentation is gradually darkening as I enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking and golf every weekend.
Even though I made sure to apply sunscreen, dark pigmentation has started to spread around my temples and cheekbones. I initially thought it was just blemishes, but I was told that improper laser stimulation could actually worsen the condition, so I intend to receive professional melasma treatment.
Is it possible to treat melasma in a single session, including complex pigmentation mixed with age spots and blemishes? Also, since I need to continue outdoor activities after the procedure, I am wondering if there is a gentle care method that can be performed without significantly impacting my daily life or exercise schedule.
I would appreciate it if you could recommend a melasma maintenance program that suppresses pigmentation over the long term, rather than a one-time procedure.

- 02CommentsIt's easy to neglect moisturizing the shins, and it's surprisingly difficult when they're itchy as well.200026.11.04
- 03CommentsI sympathize with you saying that when your arms are rough, you want to rub them, but you want to know their condition first haha.160026.11.04
- 01CommentsIf it stings even after applying moisturizing cream, it might indicate that your skin barrier is weakened rather than just being dry. If it were me, instead of getting a skin booster right away, I would consider reducing the use of irritating products for a while, stabilize your skin condition with soothing care, and then think about the procedure.370026.10.30
- 02CommentsIt must be inconvenient if your lips dry out again even after applying lip balm. Would it be helpful to review your moisturizing method if you could list the lip products you are currently using and when the stinging occurs?390026.10.30
- 03CommentsIf it is difficult to go out without lip balm, it must be really miserable every change of season. I sympathize with your curiosity about whether it is simply dryness or if there is another cause.290026.10.31
- 01CommentsTry focusing on moisturizing mask packs with gentle ingredients until your skin barrier is restored!661026.10.08
