When can I start treating melasma that appeared after childbirth?

I just dropped by briefly during the baby's nap time, haha. I started getting melasma on both cheeks midway through my pregnancy, and it's still the same even though it's been a few months since I gave birth.

At first, I waited because I was told it would fade on its own due to hormones, but it seems to be getting darker, so now I am thinking of getting melasma treatment.

But since I am still breastfeeding, I am most curious whether it is okay to start melasma treatment now, or if it would be better to get it after weaning.

Also, I would like to know if it is okay for my face to touch the skin when holding my baby after the laser treatment, and if I need to apply any ointment.

I cannot go out often, so I would appreciate it if you could let me know if scheduling the melasma treatment every two weeks is effective, and roughly how many sessions I should expect.

    수유 중에는 화장품 하나도 조심스러운데 레이저 치료는 더 고민되실 것 같아요ㅠㅠ 기미가 진해지는 중이라면 자외선 차단부터 신경 쓰시고, 수유 중 가능한 치료와 연고 성분도 꼭 확인해보세요ㅎㅎ

    출산 후에도 기미가 남아 있으면 정말 신경 쓰이겠어요ㅠㅠ 모유수유 중이라면 레이저 종류와 시술 후 바르는 약까지 확인하는 게 좋겠네요. 아기와 피부가 닿는 부분도 꼭 상담해보세요ㅎㅎ
