Dermamelan
What is Dermamelan ®?
The Dermamelan ® treatment is a unique medical method to remove stubborn pigment spots and prevent their reformation. The treatment is suitable for hyperpigmentation such as melasma, sun spots and freckles.
Hyperpigmentation - how does it develop?
Hyperpigmentation can have genetic and hormonal causes and can be exacerbated by sun exposure. What they have in common is an overactivity of the enzyme tyrosinase in the melanocytes (melanin-producing cells in the skin). An accumulation of pigment in the skin can also occur after inflammations, the so-called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Braking out pigments...
The special ingredients of the Dermamelan ® Depigmentation Treatment act as a chemical peel to remove excess melanin deposits from the skin. The skin appears more even and radiant. They also slow down the renewed production of melanin by inhibiting tyrosinase. The recurrence of spots is thus prevented in the long term.
For which pigment spots is Dermamelan ® suitable?
- - Extensive hyperpigmentation such as melasma or freckles (ephelides)
- - Hyperpigmentation spread over several areas of the face, such as age or sun spots (lentigines) or postinflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
- - uneven skin colour
How does the treatment work?
The Dermamelan ® depigmentation treatment consists of two phases and lasts four months. The first phase takes place in the doctor's office. The second phase is the treatment at home.
Phase 1
During a consultation and examination, it will be determined whether the Dermamelan ® treatment is suitable for your pigmentation spots. Your doctor will explain to you exactly how the treatment works and what to look out for. The application of the two Dermamelan ® peeling masks is a painless and quick treatment. The treatment itself takes no longer than 20 minutes. Afterwards you go home with the masks on your face.
Phase 2
The second phase of the Dermamelan ® depigmentation treatment begins with the removal of the Dermamelan masks after four hours. After 48-72 hours, you begin a three-step skincare routine using the products included in the Home Pack. The more consistently you follow the instructions, the better and longer lasting the results will be.
FAQ - Questions about Dermamelan ® treatment with Dr. Eva Jablonka in Munich
Am I suitable for the Dermamelan ® treatment?
If you prefer a one-off session in the practice and have the motivation for the four-month home treatment, then the Dermamelan ® method is a treatment option for you. If you have hypersensitivity or allergic skin, I would not recommend it.
How many Dermamelan ® treatments do I need?
What results can I expect with Dermamelan ®?
What do I have to pay attention to on the day of treatment?
One week before a Dermamelan ® treatment in my practice in Munich you should stop all cosmetics with retinol or other peeling substances (AHA, BHA). On the day of treatment, it is best to avoid moisturiser or make-up altogether. Male patients should shave two days before treatment. Otherwise, please do not colour your eyebrows, eyelashes or hair and do not depilate your facial area in the two weeks before and after the treatment.
