Pigmentation, brown spots, uneven skin tone? DERMAPLEX – Safe and Effective skin care solution! Dr. Luda Grobler Consider a typical profile of a beauty salon’s clients you will find the most common problem is that of pigmentation problems, skin colour irregularities and dark spots. I n my cosmetic practice I often hear ladies complaining: I have tried to get rid of my pigmentation problems. I have used so many different creams on my face but the dark patches are still there. We know that the reasons for these uncomfortable brown spots or pigmentation patches on the skin can be various including sun damage, hormonal disturbances, ageing, taking birth control pills and many others. The result is always disturbance of melanogenesis, which is a natural process in the skin whereby the melanocytes, specific skin cells, produce melanin which rises to the epidermis. This contributes to the skin colour or leads to the pigmentation of the skin. You will notice that darker skin tends to be more sensitive to UV light and can have pigmentation irregularities as a post-inflammatory direct result to UV exposure. What is the solution? Radical laser treatment and peeling could be helpful in certain cases with a short visible result. However, in many cases these radical treatments can cause post-inflamed pigmentation patches or irregularities leaving the clients completely unhappy. In all these cases we do recommend the use of DERMAPLEX skin care products, which can be used after laser treatments or even as safe alternative. DERMAPLEX is unique and high- technological skin care regimen specifically formulated to address pigmentation problems of the skin and fair com-plexion. The unique benefits of Dermaplex skin care based on the latest patented complex Melacetyl, which corrects, balances and gently regulates the mechanism of melanogenesis leading to more even skin complexion. This breakthrough skin care technology was developed in cooperation with French R&D, tested both locally and internationally and used in all DermaPlex products. The clinical tests proved that Melacetyl diminishes the pigmentation patches and dark spots and effectively works with visible results after only 2-4 weeks. Clinical studies showed that one of the components of Melacetyl strongly decrease the melanin reactivity of the skin to UV radiation and prevent fast tanning. All DermaPlex skin care products do not contain hydroquinone, arbutine, chemical bleaches and can be safely used on all skin types. The DermaPlex skin care brand includes DermaPlex Triple Action Cleanser Wash, which cleanses, exfoliates polishes and refines the pores. DermaPlex Day Tone Moisturiser (normal to dry and normal to combination skin types) protects and defends against UVA/UVB damage, providing moisture and even skin tone.

Anti-Dark Spot Fix’n Fade Serum diminishes the intensity of dark spots and patches and can be used alone or in conjunction with the rest of DermaPlex products.
