How does the Mela Peel Forte work?

The Mela Peel Forte works by using a synergistic blend of active ingredients to inhibit melanin production and accelerate cellular turnover. This dual-action process lightens existing pigmentation while preventing new dark spots from forming. The controlled exfoliation removes damaged surface skin cells, promoting the production of fresh, even-toned skin. The peel targets the tyrosinase enzyme, which is responsible for melanin production, reducing excess pigment at its source.

​

Is the Mela Peel Forte safe for all skin types?

Yes, the Mela Peel Forte is safe for all skin types, including sensitive and darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick I–VI). Unlike harsher chemical peels, the Mela Peel Forte is formulated to reduce the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) in darker skin types. However, it is recommended to consult a professional clinician to ensure the peel is suitable for your specific skin type and concerns.

How long does it take to see results from the Mela Peel Forte?

Most clients notice visible results after one session, with optimal results achieved after two treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. The skin will look brighter, smoother, and more even after each treatment, and dark spots will gradually fade over time as new skin cells regenerate. Each peel reveals its full results over a period of 30 to 60 days.​

​

How long do the results of the Mela Peel Forte last?

With proper skincare maintenance, the results of the Mela Peel Forte can last for several months. To maintain results, it is recommended to incorporate a home skincare routine that includes brightening serums, daily sunscreen, and regular professional maintenance peels. Lifestyle factors such as sun exposure, hormonal changes, and skincare habits can affect how long the results last.​

​

Is the Mela Peel Forte painful?

No, the Mela Peel Forte is generally well-tolerated. You may experience a mild tingling, warming, or slight stinging sensation while the peel is active. This sensation subsides quickly once the peel is neutralized or removed. The intensity of the feeling depends on individual sensitivity, but it is far more comfortable than deeper chemical peels.

​

Can I wear makeup after a Mela Peel Forte?

It is recommended to avoid wearing makeup for at least 24–48 hours after a Mela Peel Forte to allow the skin to breathe and heal properly. Once the peeling process begins, it is best to avoid makeup altogether, as applying it on flaking skin can worsen dryness or irritation.​

​

Who should avoid a Mela Peel Forte?

While the Mela Peel Forte is safe for most people, certain individuals should avoid this treatment, including:

• Those with active skin infections (e.g., cold sores) or open wounds.

• Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals.

• People using retinoids (like Retin-A) or Accutane (must stop use 1–2 weeks prior).

• People with very sensitive or reactive skin should consult with a clinician before treatment.

​

Why choose the Mela Peel Forte over other pigmentation treatments?

The Mela Peel Forte is one of the most effective treatments for hyperpigmentation, melasma, and dark spots because it addresses the root cause of pigmentation—melanin production. Unlike laser treatments, which may cause post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) in darker skin tones, the Mela Peel Forte is safe for all skin types (Fitzpatrick I-VI). It delivers gradual, visible results without the extended downtime of more aggressive treatments.
