Many women notice changes in their skin during or after pregnancy. One common concern is the appearance of pigment spots, also known as melasma or the “mask of pregnancy.” These uneven discolorations often appear on the face, neck, or hands and can affect self-confidence. At MONLIS Studio Munich, we offer professional treatments designed to gently and safely reduce or completely remove these pigmentation changes, delivering long-lasting results.

1. Causes of Pigment Spots After Pregnancy

Pigment spots form due to an overproduction of melanin, the skin’s natural pigment. During pregnancy, hormonal changes can trigger increased melanin production, leading to uneven skin tone. Common factors include:

• Hormonal fluctuations (increased estrogen and progesterone).

• UV exposure – sunlight stimulates pigment formation.

• Genetic predisposition – some women are more prone to melasma.

• Skin sensitivity caused by physical changes during pregnancy.

2. Can Pigment Spots Fade on Their Own?

In many cases, pigment spots lighten within a few months after childbirth as hormone levels balance. However, they don’t always disappear completely, especially deeper or long-standing discolorations, which often require targeted treatment.

Chemical Peels

Gentle fruit acid or enzyme peels remove dead skin cells and stimulate renewal for a more even tone.

Microdermabrasion

Controlled mechanical exfoliation smooths the skin’s surface and reduces visible spots.

Brightening Treatments

Special blends with vitamin C, niacinamide, or arbutin inhibit melanin production and lighten existing spots.

Mesotherapy

Microinjections deliver brightening and rejuvenating ingredients directly into the skin.

4. Essential Skincare Tips

For best results, professional treatments should be combined with proper home care:

• Daily sun protection (SPF 50 or higher).

• Gentle cleansing without harsh surfactants.

• Hydrating care to strengthen the skin barrier.

• Regular use of brightening serums (as advised by your skincare specialist).

5. Preventing New Pigment Spots

Long-term skin clarity requires prevention:

• Avoid direct sun, especially midday.

• Apply SPF daily – even in winter and on cloudy days.

• Maintain a consistent skincare routine tailored to your needs.
