Dermamelan Peels in Birmingham
At a Glance
Dermamelan is a medical-grade peel and advanced depigmenting treatment developed by Mesoestetic, available at Dermoperfection in The Mailbox, Birmingham City Centre. It is specifically designed to treat skin pigmentation disorders such as melasma, sun spots, age spots, post-acne marks and other forms of uneven skin tone.
Unlike many skincare treatments or surface-level skin peels, Dermamelan targets the biological cause of excess pigment production, helping to reduce dark spots, improve skin texture and restore overall luminosity across a wide range of skin types, including skin of colour.
All Dermamelan treatments are delivered following a detailed consultation to assess Fitzpatrick skin types, pigmentation depth and suitability.
What Is Dermamelan?
Dermamelan is a professional topical treatment programme that combines an in-clinic Dermamelan Face Peeling mask with a structured homecare phase using clinically proven active ingredients.
The treatment works by regulating melanocyte activity and suppressing excess melanin production caused by UV radiation, hormones or inflammation. This allows Dermamelan to treat pigmentation at its source, rather than simply exfoliating the skin surface.
Dermamelan is widely recognised as a gold-standard treatment for complex pigmentation concerns that do not respond well to lasers or injectable treatments.
What Skin Concerns Can Dermamelan Treat?
Dermamelan is used to treat a wide range of pigmentation-related concerns, including:
- Melasma
- Dark spots and skin spots
- Sun spots and age spots
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
- Post-acne marks and acne scars
- Uneven skin tone and dullness
- Certain skin lesions and pigmentation irregularities
- Pigmentation associated with rosacea or inflammation
By improving cell renewal and supporting collagen production, Dermamelan also helps refine skin texture and brightness.

Who Is Dermamelan Suitable For?
Dermamelan may be suitable for many skin types, including darker skin tones, when prescribed and supervised correctly.
It may be recommended for individuals who:
- Have persistent pigmentation or melasma
- Experience pigmentation triggered by sun exposure or hormones
- Have tried skincare, chemical peels or skin and laser treatments without lasting success
- Are seeking a medical-grade peel with long-term outcomes
- Are willing to follow a strict post-care regime
Suitability is assessed individually, particularly for patients with sensitive or reactive skin.
How Dermamelan Works
Dermamelan works by inhibiting tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin production. This reduces pigment formation while encouraging controlled exfoliation and cell renewal.
Key active ingredients used throughout the programme may include Azelaic Acid, depigmenting agents and supportive ingredients such as hyaluronic acid to help maintain hydration during recovery. The treatment consists of:
- An in-clinic mask application
- A structured homecare phase using topical products
- Strict sun protection with broad-spectrum SPF, including sunscreen SPF 50
This combination is essential for effective pigment correction and long-term maintenance.
Who Should Avoid Dermamelan?
Dermamelan may not be suitable for everyone.
Treatment may not be recommended if you:
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have active skin infections, open wounds or significant skin irritation
- Are unable to avoid sun exposure during treatment
- Are not able to follow the prescribed homecare and sunscreen routine
Alternative treatment options will be discussed during consultation if Dermamelan is not appropriate.
Dermamelan vs Other Pigmentation Treatments
Dermamelan differs from other pigmentation treatments in several important ways:
- Vs Laser Treatments: Dermamelan does not rely on heat or light, making it suitable for pigmentation that may worsen with laser.
- Vs Standard Chemical Peels: Dermamelan works deeper and targets pigment production, not just surface exfoliation.
- Vs Skincare Alone: Dermamelan offers a supervised, medical-grade programme rather than isolated products.
Your practitioner will advise whether Dermamelan or an alternative approach is best suited to your pigmentation concerns.
What to Expect During Your Dermamelan Treatment
Your Dermamelan journey at Dermoperfection Birmingham begins with a comprehensive consultation.
During this appointment:
- Your pigmentation type and depth are assessed
- Medical history and lifestyle factors are reviewed
- Suitability for Dermamelan is confirmed
- The treatment process and aftercare are explained in detail
The in-clinic mask application is performed by a trained professional. You will then be given detailed instructions for the homecare phase to ensure safe healing and optimal results.
Maintenance and Long-Term Results
Dermamelan is best viewed as a programme rather than a one-off treatment. Ongoing maintenance is essential to reduce the risk of pigmentation returning.
Your practitioner will advise on:
- Maintenance skincare
- Sun protection strategies
- Follow-up reviews
- Long-term pigmentation management
This approach helps preserve results and support long-term skin clarity.
Recovery, Peeling and Results
Dermamelan involves a period of redness, peeling and sensitivity as the skin renews. This is a normal and expected part of the process.
Recovery varies between individuals, but improvements in pigmentation are typically seen gradually over several weeks as the skin regenerates. Long-term success depends on adherence to the prescribed homecare routine and sun protection guidance.
