Melanage Peel Washington D.C.

The Melanage Peel is a specialized treatment designed to address uneven skin tone, superficial and deep pigmentation issues, and melasma. Originally known as the Cosmolon Peel in Canada, its main ingredient was hydroquinone. The formulation was adapted for the American market, substituting hydroquinone, with its derivative, arbutin. This superficial peel improves skin texture and appearance through a medicated masque and a personalized home skincare regimen.

Post-Peel Care and Expected Results

Following a Melanage Peel, proper post-treatment care is crucial for maximizing results and ensuring optimal healing. It is recommended to avoid direct sun exposure for at least one week following the peel to prevent hyperpigmentation and aid in proper healing. Your skincare provider will recommend specific products to use during the post-peel period to soothe the skin and enhance results. Additionally, it’s essential to refrain from using any exfoliating products or treatments for at least one week post-peel to prevent irritation and allow the skin to heal properly.

In the days following the peel, some redness and mild peeling may occur as the skin undergoes the exfoliation process. However, this is normal and to be expected. Over the following weeks, you will notice a progressive improvement in skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. With regular treatments and proper skincare maintenance, the results of the Melanage Peel can be long-lasting, effectively addressing pigmentation irregularities and enhancing skin radiance.
