Dermamelan Peels
At a Glance
Dermamelan is a skincare treatment designed to address hyperpigmentation issues, particularly melasma. Melasma is a skin condition characterised by brown or grey-brown patches, often occurring on the face, and is typically triggered by hormonal changes, sun exposure, or other factors. Dermamelan is specifically formulated to treat melasma and other forms of hyperpigmentation.
Key points
- Dermamelan is a topical depigmentation treatment that comes in the form of a cream or mask applied directly onto the skin.
Â
- It is primarily used to treat melasma, a challenging skin condition, but it can also be effective for other forms of hyperpigmentation, such as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or sunspots.
- Dermamelan works through a dual action mechanism. It both inhibits the production of melanin (the pigment responsible for skin colour) and helps to exfoliate the upper layers of the skin to reduce the appearance of pigmented areas.
- The key active ingredients in Dermamelan include hydroquinone, retinoic acid, kojic acid, and other depigmenting agents that work together to fade hyperpigmentation.
- Â Dermamelan is administered by a dermatology specialist clinical professional. The treatment usually involves an initial in clinic application of the mask, followed by a home care regimen.
Results and aftercareÂ
- After the in clinic application, patients are provided with a home care kit, including maintenance products like moisturisers, sunscreen, and skin-discolouration correcting creams, to be used as directed by the healthcare professional.
- The results from Dermamelan can vary depending on the severity of hyperpigmentation and the individual’s skin type. In many cases, significant improvement can be seen within a few weeks, with further improvements over time. However, the treatment may require several months to achieve the desired results.
- Following the initial treatment and significant improvement, it’s important to continue with a maintenance regimen and strict sun protection to prevent the return of hyperpigmentation.
