Dermamelan is the world’s number one treatment for removing pigmentation whilst lightening and brightening the skin. This topical treatment targets the cause of pigmentation by regulating the melanin production resulting in a brighter and more even complexion.

Dermamelan is a medical treatment that is effective in all types of stubborn pigmentation and compatible for any skin colour.

The Dermamelan treatment works by ‘switching off’ the cells responsible for pigmentation and skin discoloration. In order to reduce pigmentation we utilize a range of products called tyrosinase inhibitors to prevent the production of additional pigment. As a result, patients experience both short and long term effects if correct post procedure protocols are upheld.

It can be used for those with skin concerns that have not responded to other treatments.

Clinical indications for Dermamelan include a range of pigmentation concerns:

Sun spots, freckles
Melasma
Uneven skin tone & texture
Post acne hyperpigmentation/scarring
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
Brightening of the skin

Dermamelan’s treatment protocol consists of two main steps; in-clinic mask treatment and the home care regimen for the following 12 weeks.

Before & After

Ask us anything

What does the treatment involve?

Your clinician will assess your skin to determine your suitability of the Dermamelan treatment before creating a customised treatment plan for your specific skin needs. Once your treatment plan has been finalised you may book your appointment for the Dermamelan application.

To prepare for the Dermamaelan treatment, patients are asked to avoid any active ingredients in their skin care for the week prior, and not to have any injectables, other peels and laser treatments performed two weeks prior.

Phase One:
After cleansing the skin the Dermamelan mask is applied. This mask will be applied in a thick dark brown layer and remain on your skin for 8-12 hours dependant on your pigmentation and skin type. Once we’ve applied the mask you can then relax at home. You may feel some slight warmth as the time goes on.

We encourage patients to book this treatment in the morning, as its best not to sleep with this mask on.

Once your timeframe has elapsed, you will wash the mask off thoroughly with warm water. Your skin may feel a little red and warm.

Phase Two:
You will begin the maintenance products following the initial treatment. You will be supplied with the products and education regarding this strict regime by your treating clinician on the day of your treatment. Following the instructions is vital to ensure optimal results are attained.

What are the risks of the treatment?

What is the recovery?

The downtime following the Dermamelan peel lasts approximately 10 days however will differ for individuals. Initially following the removal of your mask your skin may feel warm and flushed.

Peeling generally starts from day 1-2 after the mask application, and may increase throughout the two weeks after treatment. Your skin may experience dryness, feeling tight, itchiness, redness, peeling and warmth for up to 3 weeks and discolouration will continue to settle, with results becoming apparent in the 3 months following you treatment. It is important to not pick at any of the flaking skin during the healing stage. In addition to following the aftercare regime, it is vital to protect your skin from the sun and ideally avoid direct sun exposure.

Following the completion of your Dermamelan treatment, your clinician will develop an ongoing skincare plan to maintain your results.

It is important that the full treatment program is completed and no other treatments are performed during this time.

How long do results last?

Most patients see a significant improvement after just one treatment. With continued use of the home care regiment, the pigmentations will continue to fade and will help to prevent the reoccurring of unwanted pigmentation, resulting in maintained results. It is imperative to use sunscreen when outdoors.

In some cases, you may need more than one treatment to achieve desired results. Our clinicians will work closely with you to recommend the required number of treatments to meet your expectations.
