The exclusive Skin Melan Peel method, developed by Dra. Chris Marchetti, aims to treat every type of Melasma with visible results right after the first session.

Melasma can be classified, with the aid of a Wood's lamp, into three types: epidermal (the most common, with melanin concentrated in the more superficial layers of the skin), dermal, and mixed — this classification helps define the most suitable protocol for each case.

Regardless of the type, one point is decisive for the success of any melasma treatment: strict, daily photoprotection. Because it is a condition triggered and worsened by solar radiation (including visible light), any protocol — including the Skin Melan Peel method — only maintains its result over the long term when accompanied by constant use of sunscreen and other continuous-use products prescribed in the office. Without this care, it is common for the spots to return within a few weeks, even after an effective treatment.

In addition, because it is a chronic condition, periodic professional follow-up and maintenance of the protocol are recommended to keep the skin even over time.

Our qualified professionals are committed to offering personalized solutions to help reduce or eliminate melasma spots, restoring the skin's natural appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is melasma?
    Melasma is a chronic skin condition that appears as dark patches, mainly on the face.
  • What causes melasma?
    Melasma is caused by excess melanin production in the skin, which can be triggered by several factors, including sun exposure, hormones, pregnancy, and genetic predisposition.
  • Is there a cure for melasma?
    Since it's a chronic condition, melasma has no cure, but it can be well controlled when treated appropriately by our specialist team.
  • What are the most effective treatments for melasma?
    An effective melasma treatment protocol should be personalized according to the severity of the melasma and the patient's skin type. Some of the procedures may include specific depigmenting agents, among others.
  • Is it safe to undergo melasma treatments?
    Yes, melasma treatments are generally safe when performed by qualified providers. That said, it's important to follow your provider's guidance.
  • Do I need to wear sunscreen even during treatment?
    Yes — daily, strict use of sunscreen is essential during and after treatment. Melasma is triggered and worsened by solar radiation, including cloudy-day light and artificial lighting, and without this protection the result tends to regress within a few weeks.
  • What's the difference between epidermal, dermal, and mixed melasma?
    Epidermal melasma is the most common, with melanin concentrated in the skin's more superficial layers and a good response to treatment. Dermal and mixed melasma usually require longer protocols. The classification is made during your personalized consultation.

Testimonials

Those who lived it, tell it best.

Subtle results, transformed self-esteem — in the words of those who have been to the practice.

I always had a lot of doubts about facial harmonization, because of comments like ‘everyone ends up looking the same’ or ‘you lose your natural look.’ But Dra. Chris understood exactly what I was looking for and knows how to bring out each person's unique features. I loved my results — I can still see my own face, everything subtle, yet beautiful!
