What kind of chemical peel is Melanage?

Question

I have scheduled my first chemical peel. A PA recommended Melanage for the relief of hyperpigmentation caused by acne and the sun. How do chemical peels work and what differentiates them from one another? How does Melanage work in particular?

It is for hyperpigmentation and contains hydroquinone, which decreases melanin production in the skinDr. Malouf

Fredric Haberman, DO · Answer

Melanage or melasma peel is for uneven skin tone, deep pigment issues or melasma? If you have melasma, other deep pigment abnormality or uneven skin tone this type of peel may be the treatment for you. However, many other peels alone or in combination can achieve similar results. These peels performed properly are a non-invasive treatment which may improve Melasma and sun damage while improving skin texture. They should be followed by a good skin care regimen to extend the peel benefits. Make sure to include a 50 SPF sunscreen and wear a hat afterwards.
