All about Dermamelan: what is it?

Are you looking to target the signs of hyperpigmentation? Then Dermamelan may be the treatment for you!

Dermamelan is a skin peel that utilises organic acids to remove and suppress melanin, the cells that cause pigmentation. This treatment is suitable for all skin types – although it was designed for those with particularly bad pigmentation, it can also be used for minor pigmentation or sun damage as a quick fix.

Some of the pigmentation concerns this treatment can target include chloasma and melasma, which are brown patches on the skin occurring during hormonal changes, such as after pregnancy or using a contraceptive pill. It also treats post-inflammatory pigmentation after acne, and uneven skin tone caused by sun damage.

Additional benefits include more hydrated skin, reduced pore size, regulated sebum production and rejuvenation of the skin’s surface.

You will see results from your treatment within a week, and will see 80% improvement within the first month. To maintain this, ensuring you have a good skincare routine is vital, so we will advise you to use Dermamelan’s products following the peel. You may also require a top up treatment, usually after six months.

As with most of our treatments, avoiding direct exposure to the sun in the first week after Dermamelan is vital, and we recommend incorporating a sunscreen of at least SPF30 into your daily routine. You may also experience skin peeling in this time, so avoid picking or peeling off your skin as this can slow down recovery.
