My melasma has gotten darker after laser toning... Is this a temporary phenomenon?
Hello! I recently received laser toning several times to treat melasma. Strangely enough, I feel like my melasma has become darker and more intense than before.
I’ve heard from those around me that this might be a temporary phenomenon, but I am posting this question because I am worried that it could be pigmentation or a side effect.
Is it common for melasma or pigmentation to temporarily appear darker after laser toning?
If it is a temporary phenomenon, I am curious how long it usually takes for it to fade.
And also...
In situations like this, are there any special precautions or countermeasures I should pay attention to at home, besides sun protection and moisturizing?

- 02CommentsIf oiliness and dryness vary by area, it would be helpful for the consultation if you could organize and show the products you are currently using, along with the application amounts and times. Please also mention any sensitivity to temperature changes, and ask if it is possible to adjust your home care routine or check for any irritation reactions before deciding on the procedure.170026.11.04
- 03CommentsEven if your T-zone is oily, your cheeks and the corners of your mouth can become dry, so please consult with a specialist to discuss care methods for each area. It would also be helpful to ask about exfoliation techniques and the correct order to prevent makeup from caking.170026.11.03
- 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

- 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
