I am under a lot of stress because of my freckles.

Lately, I am very stressed about my freckles every time I look in the mirror.

I used to be able to cover it up to some extent with makeup, but recently it seems to be getting darker and covering a wider area, so it is really bothering me. It seems like the color looks even darker, perhaps because it is summer and the UV rays are strong.

I have been consistently using whitening cosmetics and applying sunscreen meticulously, but since I haven't seen the changes I expected, I am considering procedures like laser toning or pico toning.

I have heard a lot that melasma requires consistent management rather than disappearing completely, so I am curious about the most effective method.

If anyone has received treatment for melasma, please let me know what procedure you received and how many sessions it took to see results. It would be very helpful if you could also share post-treatment care methods or tips on reducing recurrence.
