Dermaceutic Mela Peel

What is Dermaceutic Mela Peel?

The Dermaceutic Mela Peel is a targeted depigmenting chemical peel developed by Dermaceutic Laboratoire, a French pharmaceutical skincare brand known for its evidence based, clinically validated formulations. The Mela Peel combines a sophisticated blend of active ingredients, including exfoliating acids and depigmenting agents, that work synergistically to interrupt the production of excess melanin, dissolve the pigmented cells that create visible discolouration, and stimulate the renewal of a clearer, more even skin surface. Its dual action formulation addresses pigmentation both at the surface of the skin and at the cellular level, producing deeper and more sustained improvements than general exfoliating peels alone. The Mela Peel is designed to be used as part of a structured depigmentation program for optimal results.

Benefits of Dermaceutic Mela Peel

What to expect

Your Dermaceutic Mela Peel treatment begins with a thorough cleanse and skin preparation, ensuring the skin surface is clean and primed to receive the active solution. Your therapist will apply the Mela Peel carefully, and you may experience a mild tingling or stinging sensation as the active ingredients begin to penetrate the skin, this is a normal part of the treatment and typically settles within a few minutes. Your therapist will monitor your skin and comfort throughout and will adjust the treatment accordingly.

Unlike many other peels, the Mela Peel is a leave on treatment, it is not removed in clinic. The peel continues to work on the skin after your appointment, and your therapist will provide you with clear, detailed instructions on how to gently wash it off at home at the appropriate time. After cleansing, a post treatment cream and SPF will be applied or provided to protect and support the skin as it begins its renewal process. It is essential that you follow your therapist’s aftercare guidance precisely during this time.

In the days following your appointment, some redness and light to moderate peeling can be expected as the treated skin sheds and renewed skin emerges. This is a normal and anticipated part of the depigmentation process. As your skin heals and the peeling resolves, you will notice a progressive lightening and evening of your skin tone, with results continuing to develop over the weeks following each session.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there downtime?
Some downtime is associated with the Mela Peel. It is also worth noting that unlike most peels, the Mela Peel is a leave-on treatment, it remains on the skin after your appointment and is washed off at home following your therapist’s instructions. Redness and light to moderate peeling are common in the days following treatment. We recommend following your therapist’s aftercare instructions carefully and avoiding direct sun exposure during the recovery period to protect your results and support the skin’s healing.
How often can I have this treatment?

The Mela Peel is typically recommended every three to four weeks as part of a structured depigmentation program. Multiple sessions are generally required to achieve optimal results, as pigmentation correction is a progressive process. Your therapist will design an appropriate treatment schedule based on your specific pigmentation concerns.

Can it be combined with other treatments?

Yes, the Mela Peel is most effective when incorporated into a broader depigmentation strategy that includes a curated home care routine with depigmenting and protective products. Your OC Skin therapist will develop a comprehensive plan tailored to your specific needs and goals.

Is it suitable for all skin tones?
The Mela Peel can be used across a range of skin tones, though treatment parameters may be adjusted accordingly. A thorough professional consultation is essential prior to treatment to assess your suitability, skin tone, and the most appropriate approach for your individual pigmentation concerns.
