Dermamelan is made up of a specific formulation of active acid ingredients and vitamin nutrients, and does not contain skin-bleaching agents.

Hyperpigmentation is the darkening of an area of skin due to an increase in production of melanin. Melanin is the pigment responsible for creating the brown pigment in skin. Hyperpigmentation can be caused by sun damage, inflammation, or other skin injuries such as acne scars. Melasma is a form of hormonal hyperpigmentation that commonly occurs in women.

Dermamelan works by inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase responsible for production of melanin in the skin through corrective and preventative action.

Corrective action – This corrective process reduces the amount of melanin synthesis, stimulates cell renewal and intensively combats the accumulation of melanin in the superficial skin layer to fade away existing unwanted pigmentation, resulting in a brighter and more even skin tone.

Preventative action – By inhibiting tyrosinase activation and reducing the function of tyrosinase, the melanin is prevented from reaching the skin surface, decreasing the formation of new unwanted pigmentation.

All treatments carry risk, our cosmetic practitioner will assess you to see suitability. To reduce any risks as much as possible, we perform the procedure carefully and gently. We are experienced in these procedures, and this further reduce the risks.

Dermamelan contains a specific combination of ingredients and does not rely on traditional skin-bleaching agents, which may make it suitable for a range of skin types. However, this treatment may not be appropriate for individuals who are pregnant, have an active skin infection, or have known allergies to any of the ingredients.

As with any cosmetic treatment, there is a potential for side effects, although these are uncommon. Our qualified dermal therapist will assess your medical history, explain the procedure in detail, and discuss any potential risks or complications to determine whether this treatment is suitable for you.

Dermamelan is popular for full facial treatment. However, it is also suitable for treating body areas that easily suffer from sun damage such as the arms, chest and shoulders where dark spots and freckles appear.

Dermamelan treatment protocol includes two main steps: the in-clinic treatment and the home care regimen. Your dermal therapist will assess your skin to determine your suitability for Dermamelan and create a customised treatment plan tailored to your specific skin concerns.

To achieve optimal results, the skin must be properly prepared prior to treatment. This may include a course of in-clinic treatments along with the use of active home care products in the weeks leading up to your Dermamelan procedure. Proper preparation helps to enhance results, improve skin tolerance, and ensure a more even outcome.

The clinical treatment typically takes 45 to 60 minutes. The procedure begins with a thorough cleanse and preparation of the skin to remove excess oils, followed by the application of a thick layer of the Dermamelan 1 mask. This mask is applied evenly across the entire face, not just the pigmented areas, and remains on the skin for 4–6 hours, depending on your skin type. For this reason, it is best applied in the morning.

You will be provided with detailed instructions on when and how to remove the mask at home, along with a comprehensive home care kit to support continued depigmentation and skin recovery. Your prescribed home care products include: Dermamelan Treatment Cream, Melan Recovery, Mesoprotech SPF, Hydra-Vital Factor K, Hydracream Fusion Cleanser, Hydratonic Mist, Skin Balance, and Anti-Stress Mask.

Consistent use of the home care regimen is essential to maximise and maintain your results.

Immediately after you wash off the Dermamelan 1 mask at home, you may experience side effects such as redness and flaking but these will gradually resolve on its own.

Peeling effect usually starts to kick in about two to three days following the procedure and often accompanied with a tight feeling in the skin and itchiness. Application of the home care regimen will help to soothe the skin and is a strict protocol that needs to be followed to ensure the desired results.

Depending on your initial skin quality, you may see your unwanted pigmentation start to fade away and a brighter skin complexion as soon as one week after the treatment. With continuing 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 cosmetic practitioner will work closely with you to recommend the required number of treatments to meet your expectations.
