"She has sent me home with hydroquinone before treatment. I do it because that's a great product for pre and post treatment. We don't like people on that long term, but we want you to have the best results possible."

"You're still going to want to hold off on things like hydroquinone until after but you can go see your provider then at that point if you're interested."

"Hydroquinone is a skin lightening agent used to treat hyperpigmentation. There are limited studies that suggest it may have potential risks during pregnancy, so it's better to avoid it during this time. It's clinically used as a depigmenting agent for things like melasma, which tends to pop up during pregnancy, and that's why a lot of people are drawn to it during that period. It's actually estimated that anywhere between 35 to 45% of it is systemically absorbed when used topically in human beings. There's a single study that's been published involving the use of hydroquinone during pregnancy that said there was no increase in adverse events, however the sample size of pregnant women was very small within that study. Even though there were a few people that said it was safe, the available data shows hydroquinone during pregnancy doesn't appear to be associated with an increased risk of major malformations or adverse events, but because of those absorption studies where 35 to 45% is being systemically absorbed, I think to be safe it's better to avoid it."
