Melanopro – Transformative Results For Hyperpigmentation And Dark Spots
By Dermalogica
Uneven skin tone, post inflammatory hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and melasma are all types of skin pigmentation that can be tough to treat. Introducing Melanopro Peel System – a clinical-strength peel program that delivers visible results in less than 6 weeks!
What is Melanopro?
The Melanopro Peel System is a comprehensive skin care program to visibly reduce hyperpigmentation and skin tone irregularities. It’s a 2-phase system; The first phase is performed by a skin care professional in a skin centre. The second phase is continued at home with prescribed products. This advanced peel treatment is suitable for all skin tones including melanin-rich skin.
What’s involved in the treatment?
Initially, your suitability for the treatment will be ascertained via a consultation and a patch test is required. Your skin professional will also advise on how best to prime your skin prior to receiving the treatment which may include a professional skin peel, especially if you haven’t had this advanced level of skin treatment before.
Your Melanopro treatment begins with gentle cleansing then a peeling masque is applied. This peeling masque will need to stay on the skin between 4-7 hours, with the exact duration determined for you by your skin care professional. You will be given thorough instructions on the removal process which you do at home. 24 hours (or later) after you remove the peeling masque at home, you will start using the prescribed home care products. The Continuous Resurfacing Cream is applied daily until finished, lasting approximately 6 weeks. You also receive UltraCalming Mist to assist with skin soothing and hydration.
Your daily skin care regimen will be restricted to the Melanopro home care products for the duration of the treatment (up to 6 weeks) and you will be given comprehensive guidelines on how to look after your skin during this phase of treatment, plus regular check-ins with your skin professional for the duration of the treatment program.
Is there any downtime?
Yes, a little downtime is to be expected as Melanopro is a clinical-strength peel, though compared to similar peels, Melanopro is very well tolerated and comfortable for most people. For the first 7 days, we expect to see some level of skin flaking and skin may feel sensitised. Your skin professional will keep in contact with you to guide you through your application of the Continuous Resurfacing Cream to ensure the best and most comfortable use of this daily peeling product.
What results can I expect to see?
Final results will be measured at the end of the 6-week program, however, results in fading and breaking up of pigment can start to show as early as 2 weeks into the treatment program.
