About Dermamelan Peel

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.
Dermamelan® is a depigmenting method that removes spots fully for a short-term outcome and prevents their reappearance, maintaining Hyperpigmentations under control for a long-lasting outcome.

How does Dermamelan Peel work?

Dermamelan treatment involves the application of thick depigmenting mask in clinic. The peel is then removed at home 8-12 hours later, depending on your skin-type. Following the mask peel treatment, a strict home care is essential and we provide 5 full-size home care products. Most often, the Dermamelan peel results will show within a week after the professional treatment. You will start to see about 80% improvement in the first month.
