What is the Melanage Skin Lightening System?
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 hyperpigmented skin which involves a medicated
masque and an at-home regimen.
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.
