Dark spots and blemishes started appearing around my cheekbones and under my eyes, and recently, they seem to have gotten darker and bigger. Looking closely, it seems they aren't just blemishes but also have some round, dark spots mixed in, so I break a sweat covering them with concealer every time I do my makeup. Because my complexion looks uneven overall, I look tired and older.
I make sure to apply vitamin products that are supposed to be good for whitening and I apply sunscreen obsessively, but it is still very noticeable. I think I need to start laser treatment at a dermatology clinic before it spreads further.
However, I am scared because I heard that if the laser treatment is done incorrectly, the pigmentation can actually get darker or worsen. For those of you who have treated melasma or dark spots on your cheekbones like me, what kind of laser did you usually receive? I am curious if it is actually effective, and how many sessions are typically needed to see noticeable improvement.
