Do you have uneven skin tone, deep pigment issues or  melasma?

The Melanage Skin Lightening System is a superficial peel  designed to improve the texture and appearance of your skin.

This treatment is available to people of all ages and skin types  who suffer from unwanted hyperpigmentation

The Melanage Skin Lightening Peel is an effective treatment option for patients with uneven skin tone, pigmentation or  melasma. This procedure is performed in your doctor’s office, and involves applying a masque to the affected area for  several hours. Patients can go home once the mask is applied, and then wash it off later at the designated time.

After the Melanage Skin Lightening procedure, patients often notice a significant appearance in the pigmented areas of  their skin. Results may vary depending on each individual patient, but most are satisfied with the results of the  procedure. Patients often experience peeling after treatment, although this usually goes away on its own within a few  days.

This treatment can be used safely by many patients, but should not be performed on patients with active cold sores,  open wounds, sunburn or excessively sensitive skin. Patients who have taken Accutane® within the last year should also  not undergo this procedure. Your doctor will decide whether or not this treatment is right for you after a thorough  evaluation of your condition.
 
 
 
   
How does it work?
Melanage 1 Masque is applied during an office visit where it is compounded freshly by the nurse to ensure  its potency and reliability. The masque is removed by the patient after a required length of time depending on  their skin type. Patients leave the office with this masque on their face. Patients are responsible for adhering  to an easy-to-follow, but strict, at-home regimen involving the application of several Melanage products  following masque removal.

What results can I expect?
Results will vary but generally patients will see a significant improvement in the appearance of pigmented  areas. Dark spots will lighten and skin texture and tone will improve. Although most patients experience  peeling of their skin, not every patient will notice this. If you do not notice actual peeling, please know that  you are still receiving all the benefits of The Melanage Skin Lightening System, such as: stimulation of  collagen production, improvement of skin tone and texture, and diminishment of fine lines and pigmentation.  Proper skin evaluation by your doctor prior to your peel is important and will help predict the outcome of your  peel.

Who should not be treated?
The Melanage Skin Lightening System SHOULD NOT be used on patients with active cold sores or warts, skin  with open wounds, sunburn, excessively sensitive skin, dermatitis or inflammatory rosacea in the area to be  treated. Inform your medical professional if you have any history of herpes simplex. You should also not have  a Melanage Skin Lightening System if you have a history of allergies, rashes, or other skin reactions, or may  be sensitive to any of the components of this treatment. This peel is not recommended if you have taken  Accutane within the past year, or received chemotherapy or radiation therapy. The Melanage Peel System  should not be administered to pregnant or breastfeeding (lactating) women.
