Tailored Treatment:
At Doctor Edges, we understand that each individual's skin is unique. That's why our Melanage Peel treatment is customized to address your specific concerns and goals. During your consultation, our physicians will assess your skin's condition, discuss your desired outcomes, and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
While you may notice improvements in your skin's appearance after just one treatment, it is recommended to have no more than two Melanage Peels per year to maintain optimal results and minimize the risk of overexposure to the active ingredients. Maintaining yearly Melanage Peels with the recommended topical creams in between treatments is the best way to maintain long-lasting results.

Melanage Peel is applied during an office visit after the peel is freshly compounded. Application takes approximately 20 minutes with a uniform layer being applied. Patients will leave the office with the peel on their face, which remains on for a required length of time per instructions from the doctors. The remainder of the treatment will continue at home with a follow-up visit. Patients are responsible for adhering to an easy-to-follow, but strict at-home regimen involving the application of included products.

After the Melanage Peel, it's important to follow a skincare regimen that promotes healing and maintains the results of the treatment. At Doctor Edges, we recommend our exclusive Nia Rejuve retinol cream, Melabright cream, VitaC Restore, and MelabrightMD to help maximize the benefits of the peel post treatment. These are specially formulated products that contain ingredients that nourish the skin and enhance its overall health and vitality.
