About Dermamelan
Dermamelan
Dermamelan is a depigmentation method rather than a one-off peel. The in-clinic appointment is only the start of it: a mask is applied and left in place for a set period, then removed at home to your practitioner’s timing.
What follows matters more than the appointment. The home phase runs for months, and the protocol is built on the assumption that you will follow it. Clients who stop early tend to see pigment return, which is why we are deliberately thorough about explaining the commitment before anyone books.
It is used for pigment that does not respond to gentler approaches, particularly melasma-type patches, which are influenced by hormones and heat and are prone to coming back.
How the protocol runs
Your practitioner first establishes that your pigment suits this approach, which includes discussing hormonal factors, medication and how much sun your routine involves.
The mask is applied in clinic in an even layer and stays in place for a period your practitioner specifies. You remove it at home at the stated time and begin the home products immediately.
From there you are in the maintenance phase: a prescribed sequence of products, daily sun protection without exception, and review appointments so the routine can be adjusted as your skin responds.

Good to know
Frequently asked questions.
The questions clients ask us most about Dermamelan.
They are related protocols from the same family and share the same logic. The difference is in formulation and in how your practitioner matches the protocol to your pigment, your skin’s sensitivity and your history. You will be told which is being recommended for you and why.
It can, particularly with melasma-type pigment, which is influenced by hormones and heat. That is precisely why the maintenance phase and daily sun protection are treated as part of the treatment rather than optional extras.
Most clients have several days of redness, tightness and visible peeling. Your practitioner will describe the likely course for your skin so you can plan around work and anything social.
It can be done year-round, but sun exposure is the main thing that undermines it. If your summer involves a lot of time outdoors, your practitioner may suggest timing it for a quieter period.
