Overview
A targeted approach to pigmentation
Melasma and hormonal pigmentation are among the most stubborn skin concerns. The Meline system combines an in-clinic peel with home products chosen for your skin, to reduce the look of pigmentation and help stop it returning.
A course of 2 to 3 sessions is usually recommended, ideally in the autumn and winter when sun exposure is lower. Pigmentation can’t be cured, but it can be visibly reduced and kept under control with the right routine and daily sun protection.
Meline peels are suitable for all skin tones and Fitzpatrick skin types, and can be used on the face and body.
What it can help with
- Melasma and hormonal pigmentation
- Sun spots and uneven tone
- Marks left after spots or acne
- Dull, uneven-looking skin

Before you book
Please let us know if
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have taken isotretinoin (Roaccutane) in the last 6 months
- You get cold sores, or have broken or sunburnt skin
- You use retinoids or exfoliating acids (stop 5 to 7 days before)
- You have had waxing, laser or another peel on the area recently
Aftercare
After your treatment
- Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or above every day
- Don’t pick or pull at flaking skin; let it shed naturally
- Use a gentle cleanser and moisturiser only
- Avoid retinoids, scrubs and acids for about a week
- Avoid saunas, hot baths and intense exercise for 48 hours
Possible side effects
Redness, tightness, a warm or stinging feeling and flaking are normal and usually settle within a week. Stronger peels can cause some swelling.
Less commonly, a peel can cause irritation, an allergic reaction, cold sore flare-ups or changes in skin colour, which is why sun protection matters. Contact us if you have blistering, severe pain or signs of infection.
FAQs
Your questions answered
When will I see results?
Peeling usually starts after about 48 hours and lasts 3 to 4 days. Pigmentation fades gradually over the following weeks and across the course.
Is it suitable for darker skin?
Yes. Meline is designed for all skin tones. We check your skin at consultation and tailor the strength to you.
Do I need to avoid the sun?
Daily SPF is essential during and after your course, as sun exposure is the main trigger for pigmentation returning.
