Acne may fade, but breakouts often leave persistent scars and other imperfections. If you’re frustrated by uneven skin texture or lingering discoloration, a Melanage Peel® could be the perfect solution.
At Southlake Plastic Surgery, licensed medical aestheticians administer this gentle yet effective peel. It’s a top choice for improving acne scarring and restoring smoother skin.
What Is the Melanage Peel?
The Melanage Peel is a superficial chemical peel designed to treat melasma, sun damage, and post-acne pigmentation. It works by exfoliating damaged skin and promoting new, healthy cell growth.
This peel contains a blend of prescription-strength ingredients, including:
- Hydroquinone: Helps reduce dark spots and even out skin tone.
- Retinoids: Encourage cell turnover and address skin texture issues.
- Kojic Acid: A natural skin lightener that targets pigmentation.
- Arbutin: Fades discoloration and supports a clear complexion.
- Vitamin C: Brightens and protects skin with antioxidant power.
The Melanage Peel is well-suited for a wider range of skin types and requires minimal recovery. It’s also customizable, making it a versatile option for patients with acne-prone or sensitive skin.
How It Targets Acne Scars
While the Melanage Peel isn’t abrasive like laser resurfacing, it gradually lightens dark marks left by acne and corrects mild irregularities. It helps to:
- Fade post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
- Stimulate collagen production for smoother skin.
- Improve skin tone and radiance over time.
You may need multiple treatments for significant results, especially if you have deeper scarring or stubborn discoloration.
What to Expect After Treatment
After your Melanage Peel is applied in-office, you’ll leave with a mask on your face that stays in place for several hours. You’ll be given a take-home kit with instructions and skincare products to support healing.
Expect some redness, flaking, and dryness for the first 5–7 days. Most patients see visible changes within a few weeks, with continued enhancement over several months as collagen builds and pigmentation fades.
