Dermamelan Depigmentation Treatment

Dr. Weksberg Servicing Toronto and the GTA, services are for Canadian citizens only.

Pigmentation and skin discolorations may be caused by many factors including sun exposure, aging, hormonal fluctuations such as pregnancy or menopause and trauma to the skin such as acne. Thankfully at The Weksberg Centre for Cosmetic Dermatology in Toronto, successfully treating these indications is possible! Lightening the discolorations and inhibiting the cycle which causes pigment to surface later can be achieved with the Dermamelan Depigmentation Treatment.

How is the treatment performed ?

The Dermamelan Depigmentation Treatment consists of two phases. It is imperative that both be used to achieve maximum results.

Phase 1 – A visit to the Weksberg Centre for Cosmetic Dermatology is required, at which time your skin will be “degreased” followed by a light chemical peel that is done to remove any dead skin off the surface of the treatment area. The Dermamelan Mask is then applied to the affected area and left on the skin for a period of time which is determined by Dr. Fred Weksberg and is according to your skin colour and type. On average this mask will be left on anywhere from 7 to 10 hours and is to be removed by you at your home. The mask should removed with a gentle cleanser (we recommend the SwissTEC Optimal Cleanser) and you will need to apply a special moisturizer called Hydravital Factor K Cream afterwards.

Phase 2 - After the application of the Dermamelan Mask at the Weksberg Centre for Cosmetic Dermatology in Toronto, the Dermamelan Maintenance cream is to applied daily according to the recommended protocol of Dr. Fred Weksberg. Most patients are asked to apply the Maintenance cream 2 to 4 times daily for the first month, gradually decreasing the number of daily applications to one.

The treatment should be rigorously complemented with daily use of Sun Block and Hydra Vital Factor K Cream. The objective of this highly effective maintenance cream is to ensure the continued depigmentation of skin discolorations.
