How Does Dermamelan work?
This intensive treatment involves a two-phased approach – an in-clinic peel, and a stringent homecare regime. Both the in-clinic peel and the homecare products contain a range of high-grade, targeted ingredients to reduce pigmentation and prevent its recurrence. These pigment inhibiting ingredients include Azelaic Acid, Kojic Acid, Phytic Acid, Ascorbic Acid, Arbutine, Titanium Dioxide and Retinyl Palmitate. Just one in-clinic peel using Dermamelan can significantly reduce pigmentation and create a much more even complexion. However, a series of Dermamelan homecare products must be applied daily for several months following the in-clinic peel. This, in addition to daily sun protection, is the part of the process which prevents the pigmentation from recurring.

Is It Painful? What Can I Expect?
After your Dermamelan peel, your skin will generally feel warm or hot, red, and a little sensitive. This will remain for 1-3 days depending on your skin type, thickness, and resilience. You may notice some skin sensitivity and shedding/flaking during the 1-2 week phase post-treatment. Your Dermamelan homecare is designed to hydrate, nourish, and care for your skin post-peel.
- Duration : Application of the Dermamalan mask takes 5-10 minutes. Your nurse will advise when to remove it (around 10-12 hours depending on your skin type)
