Dermamelan Peel
Dermamlean FAQ's
What is the dermamelan® method and how does it work? 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. The treatment consists in a first session in consultation and a home treatment that lasts 4 months.
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 office, 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.
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. Your skin specialist will be able to advise you on the best products for you.
What are the advantages vs other depigmentation treatments? Other treatments such as laser or peel have a corrective action on the spots, by removing the pigment accumulated in the skin, but their reappearance cannot be avoided. dermamelan® has a dual corrective, but also regulating action to treat the origin of the problem and maintain pigment overproduction under control to prevent recurrence.
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.
Does the treatment make me unable to fulfill my daily life activities? As it is not an invasive treatment, it does not make you unable to fulfil your activities of daily living normally. Caution must be exerted when fulfilling some type of activities during the first days, a skin adaptation period after the cabin treatment. For instance, it is advisable to avoid bathing in swimming pools, prolonged sun exposure and activities that involve excessive sweating.
Can the spots return after the end of treatment? After an adequate professional treatment, excess pigmentation can be removed visibly. However, it is a dynamic process, where the imbalance forming them can cause their recurrence. Therefore, even if the spots are not seen, it is essential to apply a daily regulatory depigmentation treatment and photoprotection throughout the year to prevent repigmentation.
What are the ingredients in dermamelan®? The new dermamelan® formula is an unprecedented formula with two exclusive patents developed by mesoestetic® to achieve maximum efficacy in correcting and regulating hyperpigmentation. They allow for a highly effective and comprehensive action when treating the most resistant spots: (Syn)pigmentarget: a complex with 3 active ingredients that synergistically act on inhibiting the process of regulating pigment synthesis. Melaphennone: it acts directly by reducing the overproduction of pigment in the melanocyte (cell responsible for melanin synthesis).
What is the main difference between cosmelan® and dermamelan®? Both are depigmentation treatments that produce excellent results, but cosmelan® is an aesthetic treatment, whereas dermamelan® is a new generation treatment that, thanks to the development of an unedited formula, has two patents that allow for a more comprehensive and effective action when treating the most severe and resistant spots. This innovation has led to a more efficient and convenient protocol with results after 4 months of treatment. The process is less aggressive than the Cosmelan process.
