Dermamelan & Melasma Treatment in Guelph
If dark patches have appeared on your face that won’t fade no matter what skincare you try — you may be dealing with melasma. At Seema’s Laser Spa & Salon in Guelph, we treat melasma and stubborn pigmentation using Dermamelan and Mesoestetic — two of the most clinically respected depigmentation systems available in professional skincare today.
What is Melasma?
Melasma is a common skin condition that causes brown or grey-brown patches to appear on the face — usually on the cheeks, forehead, upper lip and chin. It happens when skin cells called melanocytes produce excess pigment, often triggered by sun exposure, hormonal changes, pregnancy, birth control, or genetics. It is far more common in women and significantly more common in people with naturally deeper skin tones — including South Asian, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean skin, which makes melasma a particularly relevant concern for Guelph’s diverse community.
Melasma is not dangerous. But it is persistent and it tends to return — especially in summer — unless treated correctly and protected against ongoing sun exposure.
What is Dermamelan?
Dermamelan is a professional-grade depigmentation treatment developed specifically to target melasma and stubborn hyperpigmentation at a deeper level than over-the-counter products can reach. Combined with the Mesoestetic skincare system, the treatment works in two phases:
Phase 1 — In-salon Application
A concentrated depigmenting mask is applied directly to the skin at Seema’s Laser Spa. This mask works over several hours (typically left on overnight at home) to interrupt the pigment-producing process at a cellular level.
Phase 2 — At-Home Maintenance
A structured take-home skincare regimen continues the treatment over several weeks, gradually fading existing pigmentation while preventing new pigment from forming.
This two-phase approach is what makes Dermamelan more effective than topical creams alone — it works both from the clinic and through consistent daily care.
How is Dermamelan Different from Other Pigmentation Treatments?
| Treatment | How It Works | Best For | Downtime |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dermamelan | Deep depigmentation mask + home regimen | Stubborn melasma, deep pigmentation | 5-7 days peeling |
| Chemical Peel | Surface exfoliation | Mild, surface-level discoloration | 1-3 days |
| CoolPeel CO2 Laser | Resurfacing laser | Texture + mild pigmentation | 2-4 days |
| Brightening Facial | Topical brightening actives | Dullness, very mild unevenness | None |
Melasma specifically is notoriously resistant to lasers — in some cases lasers can even worsen melasma by triggering more pigment production. Dermamelan is one of the few treatments specifically formulated to be safe and effective for true melasma, which is why it is the recommended option at Seema’s for this condition.
Is Dermamelan Safe for Dark Skin Tones?
Yes. This is one of the most important things to understand about melasma treatment. Many depigmentation treatments and lasers are not recommended for darker skin tones because they can trigger post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation — making the problem worse. Dermamelan was specifically developed with deeper skin tones in mind and is widely used across South Asian, Latin American, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean populations where melasma is most common. At Seema’s, every treatment plan is assessed individually based on your specific skin type and pigmentation pattern before any treatment begins.
What Does the Treatment Process Look Like?
Step 1 — Consultation
Your skin is assessed in person to confirm melasma (rather than another type of pigmentation) and determine the right treatment intensity for your skin type.
Step 2 — In-Salon Mask Application
The Dermamelan mask is applied in a single in-clinic session, typically left on for 8 to 10 hours including overnight.
Step 3 — Peeling Phase
Over the following 5 to 7 days, visible peeling and flaking occurs as the treated layer of skin sheds. This is a normal and expected part of the process.
Step 4 — Home Maintenance Program
A structured Mesoestetic skincare routine is followed for several weeks to continue fading pigment and protect results.
Step 5 — Results
Most clients see a significant reduction in pigmentation within 4 to 6 weeks, with continued improvement over following months.
How Many Sessions are Needed?
Many clients see substantial results from a single Dermamelan treatment cycle. However melasma is a condition that can recur, particularly with sun exposure, so some clients choose to repeat the treatment seasonally or maintain results with ongoing brightening facials and strict SPF use. Your specialist at Seema’s will recommend a personalised plan based on the depth and pattern of your pigmentation.
How Much Does Dermamelan Cost in Guelph?
Pricing depends on the treatment area and the depth of pigmentation being treated. Because melasma varies significantly from person to person, Seema’s offers a consultation to assess your skin and provide an accurate, personalised quote before you commit to treatment.
What Should I Expect After Treatment?
During the peeling phase (Days 1-7):
- Visible flaking and peeling is normal and expected
- Skin may feel tight
- Avoid picking or exfoliating the peeling skin
Aftercare:
- Daily SPF 30+ is non-negotiable — sun exposure is the #1 trigger for melasma returning
- Avoid direct sun exposure during the peeling phase
- Follow the take-home Mesoestetic regimen exactly as instructed
- Avoid retinol or active acids until peeling is fully complete

FAQs — Dermamelan & Melasma Treatment
What is the difference between melasma and regular pigmentation?
Melasma is specifically hormone and sun-triggered pigmentation that usually appears symmetrically on the cheeks, forehead, and upper lip. Regular sun spots or age spots tend to be more random and are caused purely by UV damage rather than hormonal factors. Melasma is also more likely to return after treatment if sun protection isn’t maintained.
Can Dermamelan completely remove melasma permanently?
Dermamelan can significantly reduce and often clear visible melasma, but because melasma is influenced by hormones and sun exposure, it can return over time — especially without consistent SPF use. Most clients maintain their results long-term with daily sun protection and occasional maintenance treatments.
Is the Dermamelan peeling process painful?
No. The treatment itself is not painful. During the peeling phase your skin may feel tight and look flaky, similar to a mild sunburn peeling — but it is not typically described as painful by clients.
Can I get Dermamelan treatment if I am pregnant?
Melasma is extremely common during pregnancy due to hormonal changes, but most professional pigmentation treatments, including Dermamelan, are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. A consultation at Seema’s will help determine the safest timing for your treatment.
How soon will I see results after Dermamelan treatment?
Most clients notice visible improvement within 4 to 6 weeks as the peeling phase completes and the home maintenance regimen takes effect. Continued improvement is often seen over the following months with consistent aftercare.
