Our natural (or “constitutive”) skin colour is the basic melanin content of our skin that we genetically inherit. Hyperpigmentation occurs when melanin – the brown pigment responsible for creating all skin colours – is deposited in greater than usual amounts. The most common forms of hyperpigmentation are melasma, sunspots, and post- inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Melasma
Caused by hormonal shifts, often during pregnancy. Usually seen on the face and stomach.

Sunspots
From prolonged sun exposure, typically on sun-exposed areas like the face and hands.

Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)
Results from skin injuries or inflammation, with acne being a prevalent cause.

Hyperpigmentation treatments have boomed in the last 10 years, but many are either not strong enough or can trigger unwanted reactions – especially among people with darker skin tones who are prone to PIH.

The solution:
melanopro peel system

This unique professional peel system reduces all forms of hyperpigmentation in less than 6 weeks, and is effective and safe on all skin tones

“Melanopro Peel System has been developed and thoroughly tested to provide excellent results on all skin tones. I have witnessed outstanding outcomes on Fitzpatrick types one to three. However, it was particularly exciting to observe the results on Fitzpatrick types four to six, who are more susceptible to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and have limited treatment options. Moreover, Melanopro Peel System is a comfortable treatment option with minimal to no downtime, so it does not disrupt the patient’s daily life.”
– Dr. Wong, Double Board Certified Dermatologist, Edmonton, Canada

Melanopro Peel System is a clinical-strength peel program that delivers visible results in less than 6 weeks. This transformative 2-phase regimen works to visibly counteract environmental skin damage – fading dark spots, reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation, and smoothing skin’s texture to reveal fresh, brighter skin.
