Dermamelan® Depigmentation Method

Hyperpigmentation or dark spots are not only hard to treat; they also reappear after stopping treatment or come back after fading. Dermamelan offers a medical-grade depigmenting solution that not only lightens existing spots, but also prevents their reappearance. It maintains hyperpigmentation under control for a long-lasting outcome.

What is the Dermamelan method?

The Dermamelan method is a medical-grade depigmenting treatment that efficiently and progressively gets rid of dark spots. It can safely and effectively tackle different types of hyperpigmentation that are resistant to other treatments.

The method offers a double corrective and regulatory action that can correct visible pigmentation and regulate melanin overproduction to prevent the reformation of spots. It works by targeting the buildup of pigment in the skin and the root of the problem.

How does it work?

The treatment process involves two phases, an in-clinic (or in consultation) treatment and a homecare program.

• In-clinic phase – It involves the application of two masks with an intensive depigmenting action. This is quick and painless and you go home with the masks on your face.
• At-home phase or homecare program – This involves the removal of the Dermamelan masks after four hours, and starting a skincare routine with the products provided after 48 to 72 hours. You need to be consistent and apply the complimentary products for four months.

FAQs

 What are the benefits of Dermamelan® treatment?

Dermamelan can effectively treat different types of hyperpigmentation, such as:

• Melasma
• Freckles
• Sunspots or solar lentigines
• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
• Blotchy Skin

 Who makes a good candidate for Dermamelan?

Both men and women seeking to reduce the appearance of sun damage and hyperpigmentation can undergo Dermamelan. It can tackle both severe and treatment-resistant pigmentation.

 What makes it different from other depigmentation treatments?

Lasers and certain peels only remove the pigment on the skin but do not avoid its reoccurrence. The Dermamelan method offers a double corrective and regulatory action. It treats the root of the problem and keeps the overproduction of pigment under control to prevent reappearance.

 What results can you expect?

Dermamelan has a high satisfaction rate from patients with visible results from the first few weeks and keeps the skin’s quality and uniformity in the long run.

Following the treatment, you can see a significant reduction in the spots. There is, however, a tendency for reappearance in the treated areas. It is best to be consistent and follow all the guidelines and recommendations from your provider to obtain optimal results.

 When can you see the results?

Significant changes appear within a week of applying the mask in phase one. You’ll notice a reduction in the color of the spots and an improvement in skin tone and texture. Do take note that you still need to continue the treatment for four months, as getting rid of the melanin buildup is not enough. It is still needed to keep its overproduction under control.

 Are there risks and side effects? 

After the in-clinic treatment, the skin may feel warm and appear reddened. These reactions are mild and will disappear after 24 to 48 hours. Slight flaking and sensitivity may also occur during the homecare phase. Applying the recommended home products will help these symptoms disappear.

 Is there an ideal time of the year to undergo Dermamelan?

After the summer season is the ideal time to get the treatment. This is to avoid direct and intense UV radiation, which can stimulate the pigment cells and cause more pigmentation. If you, however, live in an area where UV radiation or exposure is unavoidable, you need to avoid direct exposure, use SPF, and accessorize with hats or sunglasses.
