Dermamelan Depigmentation Treatment

Dermamelan

Skin pigmentation can be in the form of sun spots and freckles, and unfortunately, are very common in Australia as we live under a reduced ozone layer, leading to more UV radiation reaching us. Another type of skin pigmentation is hormone-related pigmentation, and this can be difficult to deal with when it involves the deeper skin layer. There are a number of options at The Lime Tree Clinic to treat skin pigmentation, with one option being the Dermamelan treatment.

Dermamelan by Mesoestetic is a clinical topical treatment specifically formulated to not only depigment the skin at surface level but also treat underlying causes. This effectively removes and lightens dark patches, resulting in a brighter, smoother and more even complexion.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

As Dermamelan is a non-invasive procedure and no anaesthesia is required, the safety margin of this treatment is high. Moreover, the unique blend of ingredients does not rely on skin-bleaching agents, making the treatment suitable for almost all skin types. However, they are not suitable for pregnant women, someone with active skin infection or an allergy to any of the ingredients.

While there is always some level of risk with any cosmetic procedure, side effects associated with Dermamelan are rare. Our qualified cosmetic practitioner will assess your medical history, discuss all of the possible risks and complications with you to ensure you are deemed suitable for this treatment.

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; clinical treatment and the home care regimen. Our cosmetic practitioner will assess your skin to determine your suitability for Dermamelan treatment before creating a customised treatment plan for your specific skin needs.

Clinical treatment generally takes 45 to 60 minutes. The procedure starts with cleaning and preparation of your skin to eliminate excess oils followed by the application of a thick layer of Dermamelan 1 facial mask. The Dermamelan 1 facial mask is applied evenly and all over your face, not just to the pigmented areas, and it stays on your face for 4-6 hours depending on your skin type. For this reason, it is best applied in the morning. You will be given instructions on when and how to remove the mask at home, as well as given a home care kit for continued depigmentation results (Dermamelan 2 cream, hydra-vital factor k, SPF 50 sun protection).

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. Makeup can be worn after a day of treatment, if required, without any problems.

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.
