Dermamelan Intimate Peel is a non-invasive skincare treatment that uses a combination of unique active ingredients to effectively reduce hyperpigmentation or discolouration and even out skin tone.
Here at Continental Skin Clinic, our Dermamelan Intimate Peel treatment is specifically formulated to treat hyperpigmentation and general discolouration in all the locations of the intimate area.
The treatment involves applying a specialised formula with acids including Phytic Acid, Kojic Acid, and other active ingredients, to the affected areas to minimise discolouration and restore an even toned complexion.
This treatment can be combined with the following procedures:
The combination of treatments can be discussed at your consultation following with the bespoke treatment plan.
Prior to your Dermamelan Intimate Peel, you should ensure the treatment are has been shaved 72hrs before treatment.
Ideally hair should be waxed, but shaving is also allowed. Refrain from use of depilatory creams as this may irritate the treatment area.
Skin that has been shaved on the day of treatment, or less than 72hrs prior can not be treated so as to avoid and adverse reactions.
Also ensure that the treatment area is clean and free from topical products on the day of your Dermamelan Intimate Peel.
After your Dermamelan Intimate Peel, your skin may be sensitive a red for a few hours, however this is normal and should subside in a couple of days.
Excessive heat, swimming, saunas, sweating and sports should be avoided for 3 weeks after your treatment. Sexual intercourse should also be avoided for 48hrs after treatment.
Our trained aestheticians will provide you with suitable after care products to be used at home. These will enhance the results after the peel.
The Dermamelan Intimate peel involves a two-phase protocol designed to address hyperpigmentation. The initial phase takes place during an in clinic treatment, where an intensive depigmentation action is achieved through the application of a peel and mask, to deeply exfoliate your skin and break down the melanocytes.
The second phase takes place at home, 48 hours after completing the in-clinic treatment. During this phase, Dermamelan intimate peeling gel is applied at night, following the specific guidelines and recommendations given by the professional. Monitoring and following the home protocol diligently are essential to achieve the desired results in both the short and long term.
Other treatments, such as laser, have a corrective action on spots by removing pigment in the skin, but they don’t avoid the reappearance of spots. Dermamelan Intimate Peel has a dual action – corrective and regulatory – to treat the root of the problem by controlling the overproduction of pigment and to keep it from reappearing.
During the initial phase and after the treatment in the clinic, the skin is red and may feel hot, but this sensation is mild and expected and disappears after 24-48 hours. During the at-home stage, minor peeling is normal and the area may feel sensitive at times. These effects clear up after applying the home products recommended by your specialist.
After treatment, the hyperpigmentation is significantly reduced; however, wherever there was a spot, there will always be a tendency for it to reappear. Because of this, it is essential to adhere to the home treatments by using Dermamelan intimate peel gel and avoid direct exposure to the sun.
It is always recommended to do a full course of laser hair removal as sometimes the darkness of hair follicles can be misunderstood as a hyperpigmentation. Another reason why this procedure should be done after or combined with laser hair removal is that excess of hair can cause hyperpigmentation and ingrown hairs.
