This treatment focuses on hyperpigmentation that is caused by the abnormal production of melanin, resulting in discoloration and dark spots in the skin.
This treatment assists in treating and preventing pigmentation by inhibiting the melanin production, therefore reducing the appearance of dark spots and discoloration in the skin. It’s a great treatment for for melasma, pigmentation and sun spots.
Meet the MeLine Peel!
MeLine is scientifically proven to reduce visible hyper pigmentation by 90-95% within 60-90 days. This includes:
The MeLine treatment course is completed over a two month period and includes:
We also love Meline’s Mask product, which when used once per week assists in preventing the re-appearance of pigmentation. Six to eight months later we also recommend a third peel application for some patients.
The MeLine process includes three steps: preparation, peel and then a programme of prescribed aftercare products to use at home. These products are designed to control pigmentation, decrease melanin production, promote renewal of skin cells, improve sun damage and even out the tone and colour of the skin – helping you maintain your after peel complexion!
Hyperpigmentation results from increased melanin levels due to melanocyte hyperactivity. This is a sign of photo-aging of the skin due to excessive sun exposure. Melasma and/or chloasma are a specific type of hyperpigmentation which can be very challenging to treat due to their tendency to recur. While hyperpigmentation can be significantly improved, long term results depend on regular use of a high SPF sun screen.
Acne-prone skin generally has increased sebum secretion, open pores and for many patients, redness or flushing (especially with fair skin). Controlled chemical dermabrasion can be an excellent help for patients with acne.
It is vital that you protect your skin from the damage that UVA and UVB rays cause by using a high factor UVA/UVB cream every day. We can recommend suitable sunscreen products to complement your peel and skin type.
You will also be advised on a skin care routine:
Immediate (same day and over the next week following your peel) after effects include reddening and flaky skin. Peeling tends to start after 48 hours and will last for 3-4 days.
Patients who have a stronger treatment may experience swelling.
