Triple Pigmentation Therapy

Treatment

Phase 1 & Phase 2 The simultaneous Micro-needling of Platelet Rich Plasma and concomitant Growth Factor release (aka Vampire Facial®) into your facial tissues. Followed by ​Phase 3 application of Topical Dermamelan® (Medical-Grade Cosmelan​®) to collectively
stimulate new collagen synthesis, smooth poorly textured skin, reduce pigmentation, and improve uneven skin tone.

Is a structured combination treatment for sun damaged, pigmented skin.

Phase 1 & 2 ​Micro-needling with Platelet Rich Plasma

The first steps of the Triple Pigment Therapy is the combination of controlled Dermal Micro-needling of Platelet Rich Plasma
and their associated pre-packaged Growth Factors that are released and infused into your facial tissues.

The process is performed at Face Doctors and takes about an hour.
​Results take around 2-3 weeks to see and a series of up to 3 treatments is recommended 4 weeks apart.

Preparation involves taking a small collection of blood, about 20mls, which is processed to give us the Platelet Rich Plasma required for your treatment. This is done by placing your blood in a centrifuge for 8 minutes separating the plasma and platelets from your red blood cells.

The concentrated source of autologous platelets within the plasma contain numerous growth factors that stimulate tissue regeneration and re-modelling. After application of a topical anesthetic the Platelet Rich Plasma is then micro-needled into your skin, much like having other cosmetic injections.

What is Dermamelan®?

Dermamelan® is a professional treatment for topical bleaching that is versatile, easy to use and adapts to any skin phototype.

  • It attenuates and eradicates acquired melanin skin spots
  • Restores radiance to the skin
  • Evens-out the tone

How does the Dermamelan® process work?

This is a two step process for treating pigmentation. This program has a unique blend of ingredients which is designed to treat the specific symptoms of melasma and pigmentation. The advantage of this is that this peel is effective on all forms of pigmentation including hormonal, and is suitable for all skin types and tones! 

The first phase of this program is the mask/peel application which is done in clinic and is left on for 8-12 hours. This is determined by skin type and tone. You wash this off at home and start phase two the following day.

Phase two involves healing the skin and maintaining the results. You will need to strictly follow the Dermamelan protocol for three months post peel. Included in the cost is a cleanser, toner, serums, moisturiser, mask and a sunscreen which is all the skincare you will need during the three month program.

Dermamelan is the medical grade version of Cosmelan Pigment Treatment, and can only be applied by professionals. 
Dermamelan, like Cosmelan, can treat pigmentation, age spots, freckles and improve uneven skin tone. 

Results are long-lasting and very effective!

A consultation is needed for this treatment. It is not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
