How long does the blemish treatment last?

 

I spend a lot of time outdoors, and I am worried because the patchy dark spots and melasma that have appeared make my face look very messy. I consulted a dermatologist and was recommended to undergo multiple sessions of laser treatments such as Pico Toning or IPL. Given the investment of time and money, I am curious about realistic figures on how long the results of the blemish treatment will last once the spots are completely cleared. I am hesitant because I have heard that even if the pigment is cleanly destroyed by a laser, they reappear quickly with just a little sun exposure. Assuming proper care, does the blemish treatment usually last for at least six months, or do I need to receive re-treatments periodically every year when the seasons change? I would like to hear honest answers from those with experience regarding the actual duration of the blemish treatment, provided that I apply sunscreen and take good care of my skin after the procedure.
