Using Cosmelan 2 while pregnant?

Is it safe to use only Cosmelan 2 to prevent any pigmentation during pregnancy? Why can't you use Cosmelan 2 in combination with glycolic creams?

We would never do a Cosmelan procedure on a pregnant woman. As a matter of
policy the only procedure we would allow a pregnant woman to have would be a
basic facial that has no chemical peel component to it. I believe you will
find that most facilities will stick to this guideline because its just a
matter of erring on the side of caution. There is no cosmetic procedure that
cant wait 9 months.
