      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Other design features: The people who are treated with CO2 laser are the people who have skin type below 5 and the people whose skin type is 5 and above are excluded from the plan and the laser is not performed for them, CO2 laser with low degree and low density And also the shots are done with less power and with a long distance. Taking into account the possibility of PIH and to prevent this issue, the skin type of the patients is examined first, and then the patients go to the skin center one week before the laser treatment and for them Kligman's combination, which includes 4 grams of hydroquinone, 0.1 grams of dexamethasone and 0.0025 grams of tretinoin, is used. It should be considered that in this plan, our main goal is to investigate the injection of exosomes derived from Wharton jelly mesenchymal cells for melasma disease and the use of CO2 laser with a low level is used for the purpose of the process to increase drug absorption and is used to increase permeability for exosome injection, Randomization description: Using the simple randomization method, the patients who visit Dr. Nilfroshzadeh's skin clinic are divided into 3 groups, so that one envelope is randomly selected for each patient from the number of 30 sealed envelopes. will be Inside each envelope is the letter A, B or C. Group A patients will be treated with CO2 laser(control group),group B will be treated with Injection of optimal amount of extracellular vesicles derived from Wharton's jelly mesenchymal cells along with CO2 laserand group C patients will be treated with Injection of optimal amount of extracellular vesicles derived from Wharton's jelly mesenchymal cells alone.</study_design>

      <hc_freetext>Melasma.</hc_freetext>
      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Control group: CO2 laser is performed as a routine treatment for melasma disease, so group A patients are treated using CO2 laser with a wavelength of 30 j and for 5 minutes in the skin and stem cell center by a specialist doctor and the duration of treatment is 4 sessions with an interval of 1 month. Intervention 2: Intervention group: Group B is treated by injecting the optimal amount of extracellular vesicles derived from Wharton jelly mesenchymal cells in one-to-one dimensions with a volume of 1 ml in the lesion area along with CO2 laser at the Skin and Hair Research Center. The duration of treatment is 4 sessions with an interval of 1 month. Intervention 3: Intervention group: Group C is treated by injecting the optimal amount of extracellular vesicles derived from Wharton's jelly mesenchymal cells alone, one to one with a volume of 1 ml in the lesion area in the skin and hair research center. The duration of the treatment is 4 sessions with an interval of 1 month.</i_freetext>
