Facial depigmentation product: what it is and how to use it

Skin spots are one of the main causes for consultations among dermatologists. Most times, this hyperpigmentation is simply an accumulation of melanin in the skin that presents no health risks, but has a negative effect on the self-esteem of those suffering it.

These spots of melanic origin usually appear due to exposure to solar radiation, although other factors, such as age, genetics or hormonal changes, also contribute to hyperpigmentation. 

If this is your case and you're worried about skin spots, you must first visit a professional for a diagnosis and to help you choose the depigmentation method best suited to your skin and type of skin spot.

Bear in mind that you must avoid solar radiation when undergoing the treatment. Therefore, the autumn-winter season is the optimal period to start.  

What is a facial depigmentation product?

A facial depigmentation product is a cosmetic formulated to eliminate the excess melanin accumulated in the most superficial layers of the skin for a brighter and more uniform appearance.

Each depigmentation product acts differently: some simply exfoliate the skin to eliminate superficial spots, whereas others are able to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin and eliminate the accumulated pigmentation deposits. 

How and when to use a facial depigmentation product

Here are some tips to start using facial depigmentation products:  

• You can apply them in the morning and at night, and you should not use other products either before or after, to ensure their effectiveness. If you apply them in the morning, remember to use sunscreen. 
• After applying the product, it is very important to wash your hands well in order to prevent the cream from coming into contact with sensitive areas.  
• On the next morning, we must not forget to protect the skin from the sun with a wide-spectrum sun protection. 

Which facial pigmentation product should I choose?

Remember that before choosing the appropriate depigmentation product, you must first visit a professional to study your particular case and advise you according to the characteristics of your skin and type of skin spot.

Are you looking for a medical depigmentation treatment?

In this case, dermamelan® is a unique medical depigmentation treatment thanks to its dual action of removing existing skin spots and preventing their reappearance in the short and long term.

The treatment begins with a session in consultation, where the doctor applies the intensive depigmenting mask and the patient leaves with the mask on, letting it act for four hours. Following this consultation phase, the patient must follow the at-home protocol, which consists of applying a depigmenting mask and a series of soothing and repairing products. The treatment lasts approximately four months.
