PIGMENTATION TREATMENT

Pigmentation and Melasma typically affect the face, especially the

forehead, eyes, and hairline. The affected area becomes darker,

creating an uneven skin tone. The most common cause of pigmentation

is sun damage, however pigmentation can also be triggered by skin

trauma, medication, or hormonal changes.

WHAT IS A PIGMENTATION PEEL

Pigmentation peels are a specific type of chemical peel formulated to target excess melanin production in the skin. Melanin is the pigment responsible for skin colour, and its uneven distribution can lead to hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and age spots. Pigmentation peels work by gently exfoliating the top layers of the skin, encouraging the removal of pigmented cells and stimulating the production of new, healthy skin cells with a more even distribution of melanin.

One of the most effective treatments for Pigmentation and, in some Melasma cases, is Dermamelan. It is a medical-grade chemical peel that targets melanin, the pigment that gives our skin its natural colour. It works by blocking melanin production in the body, preventing dark spots from surfacing, and reducing the appearance of existing blemishes. The treatment involves an in-clinic mask application, which is typically left on the skin for up to 12 hours, followed by an at-home maintenance regimen.

The Dermamelan treatment has minimal side effects. Although you may experience slight redness and flaking, you can expect to see results within as little as one week.

BENEFITS OF PIGMENTATION PEELS

Reduced Hyperpigmentation: Pigmentation peels effectively target and fade dark spots, sun damage, and age spots, resulting in a more even and balanced skin tone.
Improved Skin Clarity: Pigmentation peels can leave the skin looking brighter and clearer by removing pigmented cells and promoting cell turnover.
Enhanced Radiance: The treatment helps address dullness and unevenness, revealing a more radiant and luminous complexion.
Targeted Treatment: Unlike general chemical peels, pigmentation peels are specifically formulated to address concerns related to melanin production, offering a more focused approach.
Controllable Results: Depending on the chosen peel strength and the number of sessions, pigmentation peels can provide a range of results, from subtle improvements to a more dramatic reduction in pigmentation.

PIGMENTATION PEELS AND OTHER PROCEDURES

Pigmentation peels can be a powerful tool when combined with other aesthetic treatments for enhanced results. Microneedling, for instance, can further improve the penetration of lightening serums used post-peel. Laser treatments like IPL (intense pulsed light) can also be used in conjunction with peels to target stubborn pigmentation and improve overall skin tone.

PROCEDURE

Consultation: During an initial consultation, the dermatologist will assess your skin type, pigmentation concerns, and desired outcome to recommend the most suitable type of pigmentation peel.
Skin Preparation: The area to be treated is thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup or oils.
Peel Application: The chosen pigmentation solution is meticulously applied to the skin based on the targeted depth of penetration.
NeutraliSation: After a predetermined time, the solution is neutralised to stop its action on the skin.
Post-Treatment Care: The doctor will provide specific instructions on post-peel care, including sun protection, proper hydration, and the use of lightening serums.

DURATION OF THE BENEFITS

The results of pigmentation peels can vary depending on the severity of your pigmentation and the chosen peel strength. Initial improvements may be noticeable within a few weeks, with continued improvement over several weeks. Sun protection is crucial to maintaining optimal results and preventing the recurrence of hyperpigmentation. Depending on the initial severity and desired level of correction, multiple treatment sessions may be recommended.
