Is laser treatment really the only solution for melasma?

Seeing as I’ve had a lot of freckles since I was young, I think I have more melanin than others. Fortunately, I was born with pretty good skin; even though it is a bit dry, I’ve lived almost without any breakouts. Thanks to that, having lived completely indifferently to skincare and applying cosmetics until this age...

Dark spots have flared up really badly around the corners of my eyes.

It's obvious I haven't been taking care of it;;; I thought they were all freckles, but when I went to the dermatologist, they said most of them are melasma;;;

 
Is laser treatment really the only solution for melasma?

 

As expected, it doesn't seem like applying Dominna cream, packs, or anything like that really works for melasma...

Dark spots that have already appeared won't disappear just by applying sunscreen, either...

Freckles usually fade a little if you stay out of the sun in the winter, but it doesn't seem like that's the case with melasma...

I should have started taking care of it when the melasma first appeared, but since I've always had freckles, I didn't realize they were melasma and neglected them. As a result, the area has gradually expanded and the color has gotten darker...

My face looks older than my age, and somehow it looks dull, so I feel like I look depressed for no reason.

I went to a dermatologist for a consultation recently~~

What I almost thought were freckles are actually all melasma...

Just in case, I tried removing freckles like moles when I was getting moles removed, but they didn't go away at all.

As expected... I guess laser toning is the only solution.....


Laser toning utilizes laser wavelengths that reach the dermis to treat melanin pigments that cause pigmentation disorders, as well as melasma and blemishes with indistinct boundaries. Since the skin is divided into the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous fat, and because it selectively destroys only melanin pigments, it does not cause damage to surrounding skin or leave scars, resulting in minimal skin damage after the procedure.

It is even more appealing because, in addition to treating pigmented lesions such as freckles and blemishes, it is also effective for improving skin tone, and you can resume your daily life without any issues after the procedure.

 

The problem is!!! It’s not a one-time laser toning treatment; you have to keep getting it periodically.....

They did say that it does fade a little if you get it done a few times repeatedly...

If only I could just have a clean face without freckles or blemishes, my skin is actually in pretty good condition, so I think my face would look quite neat and noticeably brighter.

I really want to try going out wearing only BB cream, without any makeup like concealer...

For those of you who have received laser toning, how were the results?

I suppose it would be difficult to expect miraculous results from laser toning on very dark melasma, too?

    레이저토닝 10회 해 봤는데 하나도 효과 없었어요
저도 기미 주근깨 다 없애고 싶어요

    ㅜㅜ 레이저토닝은 여러번 받아야 한다고 하더라구요
비용도 그렇지만 매번 피부과가기도 넘 힘들것 같아요..

    한번 생긴건 진짜 치료하기가 힘든것같아요
크림은 눈에 띄는 효과를 보기 힘든것 같고 레이저도 얼마나 지속적으로 해야할지 모르겠고
이래저래 진짜 고민이예요

    저랑 너무 비슷한거 같네요  ㅜ ㅜ ...완전 
속상 그자체네요. 피부과 레이저시술 5회받았는데 
효과는 ? 모르겠드라구요 더 받아야하나 다른게 뭐가있나 싶네요 
볼때마다 얼굴이니 넘 속상하네요

    저는 레이저토닝 10회정도 받았었는데 효과 괜찮았어요! 단지 시간이 지나면 다시 생기더라구요.. 병원에서도 지속적인 관리가 제일 중요해서 홈케어 잘 해야한다고 하더라구요. 그래서 레이저토닝 후에 미백, 잡티에 효과적인 앰플 사용하고 외출하지 않는 날에도 선크림 발라주면서 관리하고 있는데 짙은 기미가 더 생기진 않아서 만족하고 있어요! 아누아 그린레몬 비타C 잡티세럼 사용 중인데 효과가 괜찮은 것 같아서 조심스럽게 추천드려봅니다 :)

    피부과 관리 후에도 꾸준히 후관리가 필수적으로 따라와요.
흐려지고 나서 멈추는게 아니라 조금 간격을 두면서 홈케어로 미백과 피부 톤 관리를 해주시는게 번거롭더라도
보다 더 효과적인 미래를 만날 수 있을 것 같아요.

평소에도 색소침착에 예민한 피부라면 스킨케어 할 때도 마찰을 많이 주지 않은 선에서 스킨케어 제품으로 관리하시고
먹는 이너뷰티, 평소 생활 환경에서도 자외선 관리 챙겨주세요
