MesoBrite™

MesoBrite™ is a medical depigmenting treatment that efficiently and progressively eliminates stubborn pigmentation spots and patches, providing a comprehensive and long-lasting outcome. The treatment works by acting on the accumulation of pigment (melanin) in the skin and the root of the problem, namely pigmentation production within the skin.

This treatment consists of 3 main phases:

The MesoBrite Depigmentation Treatment really is the complete solution to targeting hyperpigmentation, including sun-induced pigmentation and melasma.

What is the MELANOout System?

MELANOout System® by MCCM Medical has been designed to reduce and eliminate spots of melanic origin on the face, neck, and neckline. The skin tone becomes more uniform, and the results are excellent without the need for severe aggressive peeling treatments and with almost no side effects. The result is a reduction in skin blemishes, including dark marks, sun spots, PIH, Melasma and even acne marks, resulting in a more uniform skin tone.

What are the main differences between Dermamelan/Cosmelan and the MELANOout System?

MELANOout System

Dermamelan / Cosmelan

1)    Less Aggressive: Very gentle post-treatment peeling due to anti-inflammatory properties in the system

2)    Focus on ongoing suppression of inflammation, sensitivity, tyrosinase inhibition and minimising post-treatment side effects in order to lessen the chance of aggressive pigment resurgence

3)    Price – more affordable

Can be combined with other treatments (i.e. patient can safely continue with other treatments during the maintenance phase) – Only select products in the Home Care Pack PLUS need to be stopped and started in order to continue with other treatments (and only in the first four months of the maintenance phase is this necessary).

1)    More aggressive reaction – known to cause significant redness and peeling post-treatment

2)    Focus is on constant resurfacing and pigment suppression – both of which are great, but many patients do experience ongoing dryness, flakiness and sensitivity and therefore, pigment resurgence can occur

3)    Price – due to the high price, Dermamelan & Cosmelan treatments are not an option for most

Combinations with other treatments are not advised – or the maintenance phase needs to be stopped and started in order to have other treatments, and this is ongoing for up to 9 months.

What does MesoBrite™ treat?

Skin ageing and discolouration caused by systematic sun exposure, facial blemishes due to excessive pigmentation, melasma (stubborn, hormonal pigmentation), PIH and, in general, imperfections caused by melanin are more and more common problems today. “Dark marks” or “dark blemishes”, especially on the face and hands, are one of the greatest aesthetic concerns of modern men and women. It will only be possible to remove the anti-aesthetic skin blemishes and recover the smoothness of the skin, bringing back its luminosity, with a treatment that directly affects the intricate process of pigment (melanin) formation.

The treatment mechanism of action is based on three major principles, namely;

1) the inhibition and suppression of tyrosinase, an important enzyme in the melanin formation process;

2) Constant barrier support and controlling of inflammatory triggers which spike melanin production; and

3) the systematic removal of the melanin that has already been produced and trapped in the deeper layers of the skin.

Several of the substances present in the MesoBrite™ treatment formula act by blocking the tyrosinase enzyme or even by inverting the metabolic process of the transformation chain.

What are the advantages of a MesoBrite™ treatment?

The MesoBrite™ treatment offers a series of major advantages and benefits compared with other types of depigmentation products found in the market:

  • Very effective in all types of Melasma, especially deep-seated severe Melasma or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation PIH
  • Effective for pigmentation that has failed to resolve after traditional treatments such as superficial peels, IPL and Lasers
  • Depigmenting action that improves with the ongoing maintenance
  • Effective resurfacing with no pain, no swelling, no aggressive peeling
  • Compatible with ALL skin types (Fitzpatrick I – VI)
  • Rejuvenates the skin
  • Home care maintenance products can be used all year round, and the treatment can be done all year round as the in-clinic phase of the procedure causes no swelling and inflammation.
  • Beneficial for acne patients
  • High safety margin

On-going support from highly trained medical staff.

My skin is very complex! I’ve been suffering with breakouts from the age of 14! All has been trialed and tested! But no one has truly taken the time to really look at my skin and adjusting it to meet my personal needs. It took a little time to figure my skin out, but finally I think the team at Skin Renewal waterfall has cracked the code of my skin and slowly but surly we are making great strides in slowing and illuminating my breakouts and smoothing my skin out at the same time! Thank you also a specially to Noma who has been taking really special care of me and making sure my skin behaves. Thank you so much for looking after me and my skin and always checking in on me, truly appreciate it.

After trying many different top quality in-store and online, approved by dermatologist brands for my hyperpigmentation and feeling frustrated with little improvement, I was happy to find Skin Renewal Century City. My consultation was such a wonderful experience as I arrived at a beautiful office with friendly staff welcoming me at reception. I had my initial consultation with Dr. Liz Dodds who was also very friendly, knowledgable and professional. She made me feel understood and comfortable throughout my consultation. After assessing my skin, Dr. Liz Dodds explained my condition so well, calmed my fears about some of my skin concerns and gave me hope for the future. She worked out a skin plan for me and explained the way forward with my skin treatments so that nothing would be a surprise for me later. When I had my first treatment, Kayla was my therapist. She was professional and very caring. It was my first ever professional treatment and my expectations were exceeded. Before my treatment, she took me into a beautiful room which had such a serene ambiance. I remember it being a cold day, but Kayla ensured that I be comfortable and warm throughout my treatment as my bed’s electric blanket was turned on before my arrival. As part of my treatment, I received a glutathione peel along with a laser genesis treatment, but every time she would explain what I would be experiencing i.e. some heat or tingling as well as my downtime after each treatment. After my laser treatment, I received a face massage with a MelanoOUT serum, which was just so soothing! A few days after my treatment, Kayla contacted me to find out how my skin was doing and feeling post treatment. Fortunately, my downtime was very little (a few hours) and I could notice a brighter and more glowy appearance on the next day already - which made me so excited for my next treatments. I love that the staff at Skin Renewal Century City makes a concerted effort to make their clients feel welcome, comfortable and valued. They offer professional service from start to finish and they actually care about delivering a service that exudes excellence. I have already been referring close friends and family to Skin Renewal Century City, and I would most certainly refer anybody, who like me, needed help understanding their skin and wants to feel confident in their natural skin.

My experience at Skin Renewal Claremont has been nothing short of sublime. I am always greeted with a smile and a friendly, warm, welcoming atmosphere, which is the cherry on top of how incredible my skin looks and feels. The old saying "love the skin you're in" is probably the best way to describe how this journey at Skin Renewal makes me feel. Thank you, Skin Renewal for bringing back my long, lost confidence.

I am absolutely blown away by the skin journey I have recently been on. My facial pigmentation has been a real struggle over the years having had much hormonal imbalance and sun damage. I have had an incredible journey at Skin Renewal and visibility has drastically changed! I no longer have the dark spots and blotchy patches. There is a wonderfully even tone that I never thought possible! I cannot recommend Dr Trent Harris highly enough and to top my whole experience off - Sharon (Branch leader) and Beverly (Therapist) have been such great sources of knowledge and comfort throughout. Hoping to see further improvement the way I have thus far. A truly great team and a wonderful experience overall!

My battle with severe pigmentation has been for several years - I went to every doctor, dermatologist, plastic surgeon available to me. I have done Fraxel, to name a few, all these treatments would only cause slight improvement and then a month or two later it would come back in some way darker than it originally was. Doctor Allem has been my saving grace. I wish I came to her sooner, she is a power house of knowledge on all issues, specially relating to pigmentation and ageing. People comment on how nice my skin is looking and ask what I have done. I would only recommend Dr Allem and her branches. I cannot express my thanks to her enough.
