Is Dermamelan treatment right for me?
Both men and women seeking to reduce the appearance of sun damage and hyperpigmentation can undergo Dermamelan. It can help tackle both severe and treatment-resistant pigmentation. Your eligibility, however, will still be determined upon consultation and diagnosis with your medical specialist.
What makes it different from other depigmentation treatments?
Unlike lasers and certain peels that only remove the pigment on the skin but do not avoid its reoccurrence, the Dermamelan method offers a double corrective and regulatory action. It treats the root of the problem and keeps the overproduction of pigment/melanin under control to prevent reappearance.
What results can I expect?
Following the treatment, you can see a significant reduction in the spots. Do take note, however, that there is a tendency for reappearance in the affected areas. It is important to be consistent and follow all the guidelines and recommendations from your doctor to obtain optimal results.
When can I see the results of the treatment?
You can see significant changes within a week from applying the mask in phase one. These include a reduction in the color of the spots and an improvement in skin tone and texture. Nonetheless, you will still need to continue the treatment for four months, as getting rid of the melanin buildup is not enough. It is still needed to regulate or keep its overproduction under control.
What are the risks and side effects of the treatment?
After the in-clinic treatment, it is likely for the skin to feel warm and appear reddened. These reactions are mild and will disappear after 24 to 48 hours. You can also experience slight flaking during the homecare phase, as well as some sensitivity. The application of recommended home products will help these symptoms disappear.
Is there an ideal season or time of the year to undergo the treatment?
After the summer season is the ideal time to get the treatment. This is to avoid direct and intense UV radiation, which can stimulate the pigment cells and cause more pigmentation. If you, however, live in an area where UV radiation is unavoidable, it is best to avoid direct exposure, use SPF, and accessorize with hats or sunglasses.
