Dermamelan® and Cosmelan® Depigmentation Treatment
What is the Dermamelan® Depigmentation Treatment?
The Dermamelan® and Cosmelan® system is a combination of professional in-clinic treatments combined with home maintenance designed to effectively reduce and eliminate acquired skin blemishes and discolourations. The Cosmelan® system is designed for new, superficial and mild-moderate pigmentation, whilst Dermamelan® is a medical-grade peel used for deep, stubborn and moderate-severe pigmentation. The depigmentation process involves a focused program of pre-peel skin products, a preparatory peel, a Cosmelan/Dermamelan Peel and a specialized package of home care post-peel products to restore skin back to its natural health, with more even skin tone, smoothness and radiance.
How does the procedure work?
Cosmelan® and Dermamelan® treatment involves an in-clinic procedure—an oil removing solution that cleans and exfoliates the skin and a Dermamelan or Cosmelan mask containing active ingredients that inhibit Tyrosinase, an enzyme responsible for melanin. Hyperpigmentation is caused by an overproduction of melanin. Melanin is what gives our skin colour therefore by stopping the production of new melanin, skin discolourations and blemishes can be treated. You will be given a series of topical maintenance creams to take home in order to continue the treatment and to see improved results. The maintenance products for home care should be used for 8-12 months as recommended by your Monaco Skin Specialist. It is vital to maintain your home care products as prescribed to ensure pigmentation continues to fade and prevent recurrence.
Who is a good candidate?
Dermamelan® and Cosmelan® is a versatile procedure adaptable to any skin tone and type for clients who present with hyperpigmentation and sun damage.
When will I see results and when can I return to everyday activities?
Results vary over time based on the severity and depth of discolouration being treated. The Dermamelan and/or Cosmelan mask are applied in-clinic, and worn home. The Dermamelan mask stays on typically for 8-10 hours on the day of treatment before being washed off at home. This treatment is designed for continued use at home, therefore only one day of downtime is required. Some individuals do experience mild peeling of the skin for 2-7 days post-procedure. Individual results may vary.
