It’s a topical treatment (applied to the skin) that combines one session in a doctor’s office with an in-home cosmetic treatment. The in-home treatment is key to obtaining the desired result.• If you wish to go ahead on the day, then numbing cream will be applied, your pre-treatment photographs will be taken, and written consent will be obtained.
• Your doctor will then inject small quantities of filler into the areas you require treatment; this takes just a matter of minutes and is not painful as the dermal filler we use contains a built-in anaesthetic.
• The effects are instant, and you will immediately see an improvement.
• You will have some mild swelling and injection marks on the skin, and for this reason, we would not advise returning to work immediately after; most clients are OK to return to everyday life the day after treatment.
• You cannot put any makeup or products over the area treated for 12 hours; you should avoid blood thinners including alcohol that day and sleep on several pillows that night to reduce swelling.

dermamelan® intimate features an exclusive dual action mechanism to achieve a result that persists over time and avoids pigmentary rebound. On the one hand, it accelerates skin renewal and peeling, greatly lightening any existing spots. And on the other, its regulatory action acts on the source of the problem to avoid the appearance of new spots.

It is a process in which the skin is gradually renewed in a controlled way. During the initial phase and after the treatment in the clinic, the skin is red and may feel hot, but this sensation is mild and expected and disappears after 24-48 hours. During the at-home stage, minor peeling is normal and the area may feel sensitive at times. These effects clear up after applying the home products recommended by your specialist.

Since the treatment is topical, it is not invasive and the manifestations associated with it do not prevent you from leading a normal life. However, you have to adapt your daily habits as needed to adhere to the home cosmetic treatment and avoid direct exposure to the sun.

The hyperpigmentation is significantly reduced; however, wherever there was a spot, there will always be a tendency for it to reappear. Because of this, it is essential to adhere to the home cosmetic treatment and avoid direct exposure to the sun.

Since this is an area where direct sun exposure can be avoided, the treatment can be done at any time of year.

Other treatments, such as laser or peelings, have a corrective action on spots by removing the pigment that accumulates in the skin, but they do not avoid the reappearance of spots. dermamelan® intimate has a dual action – corrective and regulatory – to treat the root of the problem by controlling the overproduction of pigment to keep them from reappearing.
