We use a maximum strength peel for rapid lightening to reduce melasma on all skin types including black skin.<\/p>\n
We choose products depending on your skin type and medical history, the peels will be either ferulic or TCA, which induce a quick depigmentation action.<\/p>\n
The peel works by inhibiting melanin in the skin. It physically peels the skin layers and regenerates the skin. It significantly reduces the abnormal, dark, blotchy, discoloured patches on the skin. Melasma is caused by hormones usually, so is not something that can be fully treated, only managed, to minimise the pigmentation.<\/p>\n
During your consultation with us we can determine if you have melasma or another form of pigmentation.<\/p>\n
