Is there a difference in cost between a melasma skin booster and regular whitening treatments?

I am leaving an inquiry because I am curious about the cost difference between a melasma skin booster and a regular whitening treatment.

My skin tone is dull and I have melasma on my cheekbones, so I'm looking into treatments. There are whitening treatments, melasma skin boosters, and lasers, so I'm really confused about where to start haha. I'm not even sure if the pigmentation is deep or shallow, and my biggest concern is that my face doesn't look clear even when I apply makeup.

Do general whitening treatments feel closer to skin surface care, while melasma skin boosters are closer to improving the skin's internal condition or regeneration?

I am also curious if the cost of melasma skin boosters varies significantly compared to general treatments, depending on the number of sessions and ingredients. If I have melasma, is whitening treatment alone often insufficient? I would like to know if, during a consultation, you can determine which approach—laser, skin booster, or other treatments—is the right fit for me based on the condition of my melasma.
