Dermamelan Peel in Dubai

Process

Before Treatment

• Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least two weeks before the treatment.
• Discontinue using any skin care products containing retinol, alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) for at least two weeks before treatment.
• Inform the therapist about any medications or supplements being taken, as some may increase the risk of complications during the treatment.
• Do not use any other facial treatments or procedures, such as chemical peels or laser treatments, for at least two weeks before the Dermamelan treatment.
• Stop using any bleaching creams or products containing hydroquinone or kojic acid for at least two weeks before the treatment.
• Inform the therapist of any allergies or sensitivities to skincare products or other substances.
• Arrive at the appointment with a clean, makeup-free face.

During Treatment

• You will meet with the doctor at Maris Clinic to assess if Dermamelan is the right treatment for your skin problems.
• The nurse thoroughly cleanses your skin to remove dirt or oils.
• A mask containing a unique blend of ingredients, including azelaic acid and kojic acid, is applied to the skin.
• The mask is left on the skin for a specific amount of time, determined by the doctor, based on the patient’s skin condition and the severity of the pigmentation.
• The mask is removed, and the nurse applies a neutralising solution to stop the peeling process.
• You are given a post-care kit containing products to use at home for the next few days to aid healing.

After Care

• Typically you return to the clinic for follow-up sessions one week and then one month after the treatment.
• Avoid exposing your skin to the sun for at least two weeks following the treatment. Wear sunscreen with a 50 SPF, protective clothing, and a hat to shield your face when going outside.
• Do not apply other skincare products or makeup to your face for at least the first few days after the treatment. Your nurse may provide a post-care kit with specific products to use during this time.
• During the first few days, avoid sweating or doing any strenuous exercise that could cause sweating.
• Avoid touching or scratching your face to avoid any irritation.
• It is recommended to continue using sunscreen and avoiding excessive sun exposure even after the first few weeks to maintain the treatment results.
• Follow up with your doctor as instructed and report any unusual symptoms or side effects.

Side effects

• You may experience redness and swelling in the treated area for a few days after the treatment.
• The skin may peel or flake as part of the healing process. This is normal and should subside within a week or two.
• Some people may experience itching or mild discomfort after the treatment.
• In rare cases, the treatment may cause hyperpigmentation, which is a darkening of the skin. This can usually be treated with additional sessions or topical medications.
