DERMAMELAN PEEL
A depigmenting method for moderate-severe pigmentation.
WHAT IS DERMAMELAN PEEL?
The Dermamelan Peel is a powerful depigmenting treatment that diminishes the appearance of pigmentation and prevents its reappearance using key organic acids. These work to inhibit melanin production and boost cell turnover for a renewed and even complexion.
Hyperpigmentation occurs when there is an overproduction of melanin. There are many factors that contribute to its formation, such as hormones, inflammatory conditions, excessive sun exposure, and certain medications. Suitable for all skin types, Dermamelan is renowned for its ability to lift even the most stubborn kinds of pigmentation, with research showing a 95% chance of reducing pigmentation.
HOW DOES THE DERMAMELAN PEEL WORK?
The Dermamelan Peel works to inhibit the Tyrosinase enzyme which is responsible for melanin synthesis, therefore ensuring pigmentation is under control by reducing its accumulation. Ingredients such as Hydroquinone, Kojic Acid and Azelaic Acid work together to exfoliate the skin, reduce the number of melanocytes present on the skin, and decrease tyrosinase activity. Its effectiveness can be observed after just one month, with most people seeing an 80% improvement.
WHAT IS THE TREATMENT PROCESS FOR THE DERMAMELAN PEEL?
Dermamelan is the medical depigmenting method that efficiently and progressively eliminates spots by acting on the accumulation of pigment in the skin and on the root of the problem, providing a comprehensive and long-lasting outcome.

FAQs
How do I know if this treatment is for me? Suitability of the use of dermamelan® for you can be discussed during your consultation.
Is it a completely painless treatment? It is a process in which the skin is completely renewed gradually and on a controlled basis. During the initial phase and after treatment at the clinic, the skin appears reddened and you can feel warmth, but these are mild, expected reactions that will disappear after 24-48 hours. During the home phase, it is normal to experience a slight flaking and sometimes some sensitivity can be felt. These effects disappear with the application of the home products recommended by your specialist.
Is it a treatment compatible with my daily activities? dermamelan® is a non-invasive topical treatment and does not prevent you following a normal life. It is however vitally important that the daily homecare regime is maintained and sun exposure will need to be avoided.
Will spots disappear completely and forever? Spots will be very significantly reduced following the treatment however where there has been a spot there will always be a trend for reappearance. It is essential to follow your homecare routine and to constantly use specific photoprotection that prevents repigmentation.
Can you get the Dermamelan Peel whilst pregnant or breastfeeding? The Dermamelan Peel is not suitable if you are pregnant, trying to get pregnant, or breastfeeding.
When can we see the results of dermamelan®? The most significant change occurs within a few weeks from applying the mask in consultation. We will see an improvement in the skin texture and a reduction of the spot's colour. This is because, during that period, melanin is removed from the outer layers of the skin. However, we must continue with the treatment for the full 4 months, since removing the accumulated melanin is not enough; we need to regulate its overproduction.
