The M.E.L.A. Peel is a specialized chemical resurfacing treatment designed to correct deep, resistant pigmentation disorders such as melasma, solar lentigines, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone. Using a unique blend of actives including phytic acid, retinoids, azelaic acid, and vitamin C, this advanced peel works on multiple levels to disrupt melanin production, accelerate cellular turnover, and suppress further pigment formation. The result: visibly brighter, more even skin with long-term pigment control.

M.E.L.A. Peel is one of the most effective non-invasive solutions for stubborn pigmentation. Unlike standard peels that only exfoliate the surface, this treatment works deeper — inhibiting tyrosinase (the enzyme responsible for melanin formation) while also removing existing pigment buildup. It is ideal for treating difficult pigmentation conditions, especially those that are hormonal, post-inflammatory, or photo-induced. This treatment combines precision, safety, and results — delivering dramatic skin tone improvement without the risks of harsh peels or lasers.

The M.E.L.A. Peel uses a multi-acid formula to accelerate exfoliation while targeting melanin synthesis pathways at their origin. It is formulated to penetrate the epidermis and reach the basal layer of the skin, where pigment is produced.
STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS
Thorough cleansing and priming to prepare skin for maximum penetration
The active formula is applied and monitored for precise skin response
A post-peel cream may be applied to enhance penetration and manage inflammation
You'll be given post-peel instructions and homecare products to manage peeling and support pigment suppression
The M.E.L.A. Peel goes beyond surface treatment — it changes how your skin produces and distributes pigment, offering results that are not just cosmetic, but corrective.
KEY BENEFITS
