This chemical peel will also help improve skin tone, texture, and fine lines. Following the peel, the client’s skin was clearer with a youthful glow.
WHAT IS THE MELANAGE PEEL SYSTEM?
The Melanage Peel System is a chemical peel designed to improve the texture and appearance of hyper-pigmented skin, which involves a medicated invisi-mask applied at Revive and an at-home regimen. This peel is safe and effective for all skin types including dark skin. There is no pain and little-to-no irritation during the application of the mask. Typically, the irritation level on the following days is more like a sunburn.
HOW DOES THE PEEL WORK?
Melanage Peel is applied during an office visit after the peel is freshly compounded by your Aesthetician. Application takes approximately 20 minutes with a uniform layer being applied. Patients will leave the office with the peel on their face, which remains on for required length of time per instructions from their aesthetician. The remainder of the treatment will continue at home with a follow-up visit. Patients are responsible for adhering to an easy-to-follow, but strict at-home regimen involving the application of included products.
WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT?
Results will vary, but generally patients will see improvement in skin tone and texture. Dark spots will lighten, complimented by an improved skin texture and tone. Although most patients experience peeling of their skin up to 10 days of downtime typically), not every patient will experience peeling. If you don’t notice actually peeling, please know that you are still receiving the benefits of the Melanage Peel System.

AFTER TREATMENT:
Most but not all patients experience peeling skin after the treatment. Peeling generally starts on day 2 or 3 and is at its worst for the first 5 days.
Your skin may feel tight and dry, similar to a sunburn, but not painful. Redness may be present for 1 to 2 weeks.
You will want to avoid heat and sun exposure after your treatment. In the future it is important to use sunblock every day (medical-grade, broad spectrum UVA and UVB SPF 30+, ask your aesthetician for a recommendation). Sunblock should be re-applied every 2 hours while in the sun.
There will be a significant improvement in the appearance of pigmented areas. Dark spots will lighten, and skin texture and tone will improve.
We recommend a follow-up visit with your aesthetician 2-3 months after the peel.
