Dermamelan
Dermamelan is a highly effective spot treatment method that combines peeling and the suppression of enzymatic substances. It is a comprehensive cosmetic and skincare solution comprising a mask, follow-on cream, and moisturizers. Dermatologists offer Dermamelan as a topical treatment for hyperpigmentation and certain skin scarring.
Cosmelan is primarily used on the hands, face, neck, décolleté, arms, legs, and abdomen. It employs two distinct actions to reduce hyperpigmentation by equalizing skin tone and inhibiting melanin production. By reducing the melanin content in the skin, Cosmelan prevents the formation of spots, making it particularly effective for treating melasma-induced spots and those caused by sun exposure.
Dark spots on the skin, commonly known as age spots or black spots, can appear on the face, neck, décolleté, arms, legs, or abdomen, and may have a red, brown, or grey coloration. These spots result from the excessive secretion of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. While the shade and size of these spots may vary, they are universally regarded as aesthetically undesirable.
Temporary solutions like makeup or other methods used to conceal spots cannot replace a permanent solution. Dermamelan offers the possibility of minimizing or even eliminating skin spots through a peeling process similar to chemical peels.
Due to increased pigmentation caused by excessive sun exposure during the summer months, these spots can persist for years. Dermamelan presents an effective method for addressing skin pigmentation issues.
The exact cause of skin pigmentation is unknown, although ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun and intense artificial lighting can stimulate melanocytes, the cells responsible for pigment production in the skin. Individuals with darker skin naturally have more active melanocytes compared to those with fairer skin. Under normal circumstances, melanocytes produce a significant amount of pigment. However, production increases when triggered by hormonal changes or exposure to light.
Cosmelan is also effective in treating spots caused by pregnancy, aging, sun exposure on sensitive skin, and other similar factors.
The primary effect of Cosmelan is the suppression of tyrosinase, an enzyme responsible for darkening certain areas of the skin. By reducing melanin production, Cosmelan lightens the darkened areas and effectively treats spots resulting from these factors. It is suitable for all skin types and can be applied year-round. Furthermore, it does not cause skin wounds or require a healing process.

Process and Procedure
The application process of Dermamelan involves a single session. After a skin analysis conducted under the supervision of a physician, the appropriate kit for the individual is determined. Each kit is tailored to the individual’s needs and applied accordingly.
The Dermamelan procedure consists of two stages: the mask stage and the follow-up cream stage. The mask must be applied by a physician and should be applied all at once. The duration of mask application varies depending on the skin type and the density of spots, typically ranging from 8 to 12 hours. After the specified time, the mask should be washed off with warm water at home.
Once the mask is removed, the follow-up cream, an integral part of the care program, should be applied daily to the treatment area. Regular and consistent use of the follow-up cream is essential for effective spot treatment.
The time it takes for the Dermamelan procedure to show its effects may vary for each individual. The complete removal of skin spots takes longer for individuals with darker skin. Generally, noticeable changes occur within 1 week of starting the treatment, and after 2 to 3 weeks, the skin becomes significantly brighter and healthier. Dark spots are typically removed within 4 to 6 weeks.
The following changes may occur on the skin after the Dermamelan procedure:
- Slight rash immediately after the procedure
- Itchiness on overly sensitive skin for up to 24 hours
- Occasional mild burning sensation on the skin
- Sensation of tightening
All symptoms spontaneously disappear within 48 to 72 hours, and the skin returns to a normal and healthy appearance.
To ensure effective results after the Dermamelan mask, certain precautions should be taken before and after the application. Discontinue the use of any products that may cause irritation one week prior to the application. Male patients should shave two days before the procedure. After removing the mask, the skin should be soothed with a suitable moisturizer and sunscreen, following the doctor’s recommendations diligently.
It is normal to experience mild rash, edema, or a burning sensation for up to 5 days after the procedure. These symptoms typically resolve within one week. It is advised to avoid sunbeds, other peeling treatments, lasers, and epilation for a specific period following the procedure. The use of sunscreen is crucial for spot treatment, and it should be applied generously and reapplied every 3 to 4 hours.
