The procedure involves the application of a chemical solution to the surface of the skin to produce the careful removal of its outer layers. The amount of skin removed will depend on the type of chemical used, the strength of this product and how long it is left on the skin.
Chemical peels are usually described according to how deep they work on the skin. Below are some examples of the type of peels and the kind of language you can expect to hear used when discussing chemical peels.
SUPERFICIAL PEELS – Remove the outer layer of the skin or the “epidermal layers”.
SUPERFICIAL TO MEDUIM DEPTH PEELS – Remove the skin slightly deeper than epidermal layer.
MEDIUM DEPTH PEEL – Remove both the epidermal layers and upper dermal layers.

Suitability of the use of dermamelan® for you can be discussed with your chosen skin specialist during your consultation.
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 clinic, 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.
dermamelan® is a non-invasive topical treatment and does not prevent you following a normal life. It is however vitally important that the daily homecare regime is maintained and sun exposure Will need to be avoided as far as possible.
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.
To obtain the best possible result, the best time is after the summer season, to avoid direct, intense sun radiation during the treatment. In some areas where radiation is unavoidable, it is recommended to avoid direct exposure, the use of a hat and adequate specific photoprotection.
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.
If used correctly and under the supervision of a professional, there should be no side effects. dermamelan® is a topical treatment and, therefore, minimally invasive; it does not prevent you from following your normal daily life. During the initial phase and following the treatment in consultation, the skin may become irritated or show redness. This is totally normal and expected, and it will disappear within a few days. During the home phase, it is common to experience slight peeling and sensitivity, which are symptoms that disappear when applying the home products recommended by the specialist.
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.
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).
Our skin experts are available to assess your skin needs & goals and create a tailored plan suitable to your needs.
On booking, Skin Peel treatments are under “Environ Cool Peel”, “Mesoestetic Peels” or “Dermalogica Peel Treatments”.
Personalised skin boosters can be used during the consultation with the practitioner, based on your skin concerns, with 15 boosters to choose from.
