The most common reason for facial hyperpigmentation in women is pregnancy. This kind of hyperpigmentation is also known as pregnancy masks or melasma and is often seen in pregnant women in the age range of 20-40. Pregnancy hyperpigmentation usually occur on the forehead, cheeks, and upper lip. Women with darker skin are more likely to develop this hyperpigmentation.
Hormonal changes during pregnancy could be blamed for causing pregnancy hyperpigmentation. The size of the hyperpigmentation varies from 0.5 to 10 cm; besides, this skin hyperpigmentation can become larger over time. If melasma is exposed to sunlight, it becomes more colorful. The definitive diagnosis of melasma is determined by an examination by a dermatologist.
In some cases, this hyperpigmentation disappears after childbirth and during breastfeeding, but many are sustained and need to be treated.
For a long time, doctors used serums, creams, and skin lightener chemicals to treat these skin issues, which did not have significant and sustainable results. Finally, the young and famous Iranian dermatologist Dr. Amir Feily, invented a new and efficient method by using special anti-hyperpigmentation packages and also developed an effective treatment with special innovative modes of fractional co2 laser, and it becomes possible to get rid of pregnancy hyperpigmentation forever.
The choice of treatment method for each client depends on the level of the issue and the physician’s diagnosis. Dr. Feily has successfully treated the melasma of many of his patients with the help of fractional CO2 technology and the use of special innovative modes. This laser tries to push the skin to regenerate this layer by destroying the epidermis layer, so the epidermis layer or the new skin layer will be younger, clearer, and firmer. If a person has superficial skin hyperpigmentation or has open pores on his face, he can remove these pores by performing a fractional CO2 laser.
Also, special fractional co2 modes, in addition to removing hyperpigmentation, are very effective in treating saggy skin and rejuvenating it.
However, he said that laser treatment is not necessary for everyone, and people with fewer skin issues can use Dr. Feily’s innovation, the anti-melasma package, which is a very effective treatment without any side effects. Combination of Micro-needling, microdermabrasion, carboxytherapy, and mesotherapy are special and can be considered as a cure for about 60% of the cases and millions of women and even men.
Dr. Feily claims that the laser results are much more durable, and with the end of the treatment period, patients have smooth, pigment-free skin with a younger appearance.
He hopes that this treatment will ensure melasma patients have no worries about their hyperpigmentation after pregnancy and to face the world again with full confidence.
