Our newest service, the "Mela-Bright Peel Series" is a brightening chemical peel from Spain that specifically targets pigmentation such as sun damage, freckles, post inflammatory hyperpigmentation and melasma leaving a brighter more even skin tone.
This peel is available in two formulas to be able to treat all Fitzpatrick skin types 1-6 (Caucasian and Ethnic)!

By pairing the peel series with products we are targeting every layer of melanogenisis for a successful peel season.

How does the peel work?
The unique ingredient blend within the chemical peels help to provide a strong control and inhibition action against melanin synthesis, intervening in the pre-synthesis processes, directly inhibiting the tyrosinase enzyme, degranulating the intra-keratinocyte pigment, and favouring epidermal turnover and the removal of pigmented cells.
Caucasian peel ingredients: Azelaic Acid · Tranexamic Acid · Arbutin · Kojic Acid · Lactobionic Acid · Sodium Hyaluronate · Retinal · Phenylethyl Resorcinol
The ethnic peel elements combine to provide total control over irritation and inflammatory activity, forming a product with outstanding melanin synthesis inhibitory action with epithelial turnover, but without the risk of rebound pigmentation, a significant aspect when treating ethnic skin.
Ethnic peel ingredients: Mandelic Acid · Ascorbic Acid · Tranexamic Acid · Phytic Acid · Pyruvic Acid · Salicylic Acid · Retinal · Sodium Hyaluronate
What can I expect afterwards?
After the peel is applied it is normal to experience redness, and of-course peeling within the week following treatment.
After your first treatment, you would then start your provided homecare regimen at home. Your second and third treatments will be 5 weeks apart.
Can you pair this series with other services?
This mela-bright peel series paired with Microneedling is chefs kiss as we now have a new microneedling serum that is specifically for melasma and pigmentation.
Tips for a successful mela-bright peel series!
1) Hydrate! Dehydration leads to a deeper, harsher peel making your skin more sensitive and inflamed. By keeping yourself and your skin hydrated you will heal faster and have optimal results.
2) Have a healthy diet before & after your peel! Sugar specifically leads to generalized inflammation of the skin and can result in adverse outcomes. By incorporating more anti-inflammatory foods, healthy fats, vegetables and proteins, you are setting your body up for faster healing, and brighter, more clear skin.
3) Balance your hormones! Hormonal changes lead to inflammation, dehydration, breakouts, and can trigger or exasperate conditions such as melasma. Have your hormone levels checked to ensure there is nothing out of the ordinary that would prevent you from having amazing results and maintain a healthy lifestyle for optimal hormonal balance.
4) Follow the strict pre & post protocols for best results and to limit adverse effects.
Some adverse effects could be:
-peel penetrating too deep
-burns
-redness & inflammation
-allergies
-PIH or darkening of the skin

To ensure the safest peel, you can always prep your skin one month prior to your peel. It allows for incremental and consistent changes to skintone and reduces risk of Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation. Additionally, Pre-Peeling helps to improve adjustment to the necessary process of suppression of uneven skintone.
This pre-peel protocol is recommended for those who are skin type 4-6, have a history of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation from peels, history of severe skin allergies, or sensitive skin.
