Visible pigmentation concerns, such as freckles, uneven skin tone and sun-related discolouration, may be addressed through a combination of cosmetic skincare and in-clinic treatments, including light-based and resurfacing procedures, as advised by a practitioner. Pigmentation influenced by hormonal factors, such as melasma, can be more complex and may require a carefully considered, individualised cosmetic approach.

Dermamelan is a professionally administered cosmetic skin program designed to support improvement in the appearance of pigmentation irregularities and promote a more even-looking skin tone. Suitability for treatment is determined during consultation and depends on individual skin type, condition and tolerance.

Dermamelan is a professionally administered skin treatment program that involves a structured course of care, which may include:

An in-clinic mask application
A home-care maintenance protocol over approximately 12 weeks, using practitioner-recommended skincare
Scheduled follow-up appointments and LED treatments to support skin comfort and recovery, as advised

Treatment Aims

Dermamelan is commonly selected to support cosmetic goals such as:

Improving the appearance of uneven skin tone and discolouration
Addressing the visible effects of sun exposure and post-inflammatory pigmentation
Supporting overall skin radiance and texture

Individual outcomes and suitability vary and are assessed during consultation.

Medical Oversight

Dermamelan is a professionally supervised skin treatment program and is performed at Youth Lab in collaboration with a qualified medical practitioner, where clinically appropriate. All clients undergo consultation to determine suitability and appropriate treatment planning.

Youth Lab offers Dermamelan as part of a medically supervised treatment pathway. Alternative formulations may be discussed during consultation where appropriate.

FAQs

What does the treatment involve?

A consultation with one of our doctors, nurses, or dermal therapists is required before booking. The treatment includes both an in-clinic phase and a home care phase.

During your appointment, the skin will be cleansed before the Dermamelan mask is applied. The mask remains on the skin for several hours (typically four) before being washed off at home. The exact duration is determined by your practitioner based on your skin type and level of pigmentation.

After removing the mask, the skin may feel warm, tight, or slightly stinging. Over the following days, visible flaking or peeling is expected as the skin renews.

The home-care phase begins immediately after, using specialised Dermamelan products for several weeks. Strict adherence to this routine is essential for maintaining comfort and achieving optimal program outcomes. Your practitioner will provide detailed instructions and ongoing support throughout this phase.

How long do results last?

Many clients notice visible changes within the first few weeks, with ongoing improvement over several months as skin renewal continues. Longevity depends on skin type, environmental factors, and consistent adherence to the home-care plan, including sun protection.

For some clients, a repeat treatment at 6–12 months may be recommended to maintain results. As hormonal pigmentation (melasma) is a chronic condition, maintenance care and trigger avoidance remain essential.

What happens after my treatment?

After removing the mask, your skin may feel tight, warm, or dry. Over the next several days, visible peeling will occur. This is a normal part of the process, but it’s vital not to pick or rub the skin.

Your practitioner will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions and prescribe appropriate home products to support healing. Regular follow-ups and LED light therapy sessions are included in your program to aid recovery and comfort.

What are the risks of treatment?

Dermamelan is a controlled medical treatment performed under supervision. Redness, dryness, and peeling are expected and indicate normal skin renewal.

Treatment is not suitable for individuals who:

Are pregnant or breastfeeding

Have used isotretinoin (Roaccutane) in the last 6 months

Have active skin infections, wounds, or recent sunburn

Have known allergies to aspirin or salicylates

Are prone to keloid scarring

Your suitability and medical history will be assessed during consultation. Active ingredients or recent cosmetic treatments should be paused as advised prior to your session.
