What is dermamelan® intimate?

Intimate hyperpigmentation is a disorder caused by an excess formation of melanin that involves skin darkening around the anal and external genital area. The aging process takes place in the genital-perineal and adjacent areas in the same way as in the rest of the body. Because of this, loss of elasticity and firmness as well as a change in the color of the area can be seen.

dermamelan® intimate is a unique method to correct, in a single clinical session, pigmentation imperfections and improve the quality and appearance of the intimate area specifically formulated to be effective and respect the characteristics of the skin in that area. Its depigmenting action is complemented with an anti-aging action that makes it a unique, all-in-one treatment.
