MELASMA SET

UV radiation, hormonal changes and many more: There are numerous causes and triggers for pigment spots on the skin. They are particularly common in the form of melasma and age spots. Although these types of pigment spots are mostly harmless and fundamentally not a flaw, not everyone feels comfortable with them as they make you look old and tired. Though the only solution for this was laser therapy up to recently, things have changed: If you are also looking for effective care products against pigment spots, the MELASMA SET by Doctor Mi! medical skincare can provide you the ideal support to independently and sustainably improve excess skin pigmentation.

The MELASMA SET, the facial skin nourishment package against pigment spots by Doctor Mi! medical skincare, contains the following care products:

• Cleaning products: CLEAN and PEEL
• Creams: DAY and NIGHT
• Skin booster: RED
• Accessories: DERMA ROLLER and HAND SANITIZER

A large number of highly effective ingredients, all proven by studies, contained in the MELASMA SET offer you skin care products against pigment spots to enable significant successes in changing your skin. Particularly noteworthy is retinol, or vitamin A1, which has proven to achieve excellent results in the treatment of pigment spots. The special TECMi!® Deep Technology, with which Doctor Mi!'s active ingredients are prepared and optimized, increases the effectiveness of the ingredients: This special form of molecule encapsulation protects them and accelerates their transportion into the deep, lower layer of the skin, known as the dermis. This is where the molecules come in: The increased melanin production is put to a halt by the TECMi!®-encapsulated retinol and thoroughly regenerates your skin.

The DERMA ROLLER is also part of the MELASMA SET to enable you in achieving optimal results. This is a particularly important tool for treating pigment spots. The DERMA ROLLER helps you thoroughly work in the care products RED and NIGHT deeply into your skin. Due to the numerous fine needles, microlesions, i.e. many small but slight injuries, occur on your skin. These are harmless and even useful because the short, thin needles cause small microinjuries which release healing growth factors and therefore trigger the formation of new collagen from the inside out. By doing this, your blood circulation is optimally stimulated and the regeneration of your cells is set in motion. A pleasant side effect that comes from this is that your skin increasingly forms peptide chains between the skin layers which further enable the formation of collagen and elastin - important anti-aging components that tighten and strengthen your skin.

If you use the DERMA ROLLER carefully and in a controlled manner, you do not have to be afraid of damaging your skin. In addition, the care products in the MELASMA SET against pigment spots are very effective, but also gentle and free from artificial fragrances that can harm your skin as well as parabens. This makes the MELASMA SET by Doctor Mi! medical skincare the optimal choice for facial care against pigment spots to pave the way to clear and even skin that lets you fully shine.

In the treatment of melasma and other pigmentation spots, Doctor Mi! medical skincare exclusively uses study-proven active ingredients that enable you to reduce the pigmentation spots on your skin while completely refraining from using useless ingredients without a specific function. In particular, the following active ingredients play a very important role in the treatment of melasma and other pigment spots:

Who is the MELASMA SET by Doctor Mi! for?

The MELASMA SET by Doctor Mi! medical skincare is suitable for you if you have melasma or other pigment spots, even over large areas which you would like to gently remove. In addition, you should not be pregnant or breastfeeding. The regular treatment with the MELASMA SET will help you achieve a visibly cleared and significantly improved skin appearance.

Why should I use the entire MELASMA SET instead of individual products?

You can always use individual products instead of the entire MELASMA SET which we even recommended for pregnant and nursing women. However, if you want to improve your skin as quickly as possible, you will have the most success with the entire product set as all products are harmonized with each other to come together in achieving the greatest possible results.

How long will it take to see fewer pigmentation spots on my skin with the MELASMA SET?

With the help of the MELASMA SET you can bring about significant change in your skin. This usually takes 6 to 12 weeks. You should see the first visible results within a short period of time. However, it is important that you stick to consistent routines in your skincare and keep at it.

Can I accelerate results when treating melasma, pigmentation or age spots?

Yes, that is possible: You can maximize the effect of our products against melasma and co. with the DERMAROLLER included in the set. By treating your skin with regular microneedling at home, you activate the formation of new cells which breaks up the melanin pigment. At the same time, you also benefit from the fact that microneedling stimulates your skin to produce new collagen and hyaluronic acid which give your skin elasticity and tone. However, be sure to follow our tips and advice on the subject of microneedling.

How does hyperpigmentation occur?

Melasma and hyperpigmentation are widespread pigment disorders of the skin. In this case, there is an increased formation of melanin, a skin pigment whose quantity also determines, for example, our skin, hair and eye color. Important factors that promote melasma or other forms of hyperpigmentation, in particular, are

• Your individual genetic predisposition,
• UV radiation,
• Skin aging,
• Inflammations and
• Hormonal changes (e.g. in case of pregnancy, hormone therapy or taking the pill).

All these factors can contribute to increased melanin production in your skin. The specific appearance and intensity of the pigmentation can vary from person to person. In some cases, for example, the neck, shoulders, arms and hands are affected by pigment disorders but mostly it is in areas of the face where melasma is most present: cheeks, nose, lips, forehead, or jaw, which are exposed to the sun. These areas can either be extensively covered or mottled like a net. In extreme forms of melasma, e.g. in the form of the so-called pregnancy mask, the entire face can be affected by the enormously increased pigmentation.

Important: With hyperpigmentation, you should see a doctor if the color, size or shape of a pigment spot changes, or if it bleeds or itches.

Which product in the MELASMA SET contains Retinol?

Retinol (vitamin A1), which has been proven to have skin-rejuvenating effects, also shows very good results in treating pigmentary disorders such as melasma and age spots. The following MELASMA SET product contain Retinol:

• Skin booster RED (high concentration: 8%)
• Day cream DAY (low concentration: 1%)
• Night cream NIGHT (high concentration: 6%)

In contrast, the cleansing products included in the MELASMA SET do not contain Retinol:

• Cleaning gel CLEAN
• Facial peeling PEEL
• HAND SANITIZER

How do I best apply the care products for pigment spots?

To effectively combat pigmentation spots such as melasma or age spots, you not only need skincare products with the right active ingredients but also targeted skincare routines. Based on years of experience in treating pigmentation disorders, Dr. Miriam Rehbein, founder and product developer of Doctor Mi! medical skincare, has developed special skincare routines that you should follow for rapidly improving your skin:

• Melasma morning routine »
• Melasma evening routine »

Can I use the MELASMA SET during pregnancy and breastfeeding?

We do not recommended using Retinol during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The reason: Due to a lack of tests or studies there is no reliable information on whether Retinol can cause harm during pregnancy and immediately afterwards. To avoid any risks, we advise you not to use our products with highly concentrated Retinol such as RED and NIGHT at such stages of your life. You can use all other products for treating melasma or other pigmentation spots without any problems.

What makes the TECMi!® Deep Technology special?

Thanks to the innovative TECMi!® Deep Technology, the Doctor Mi! medical skincare products against pigmentation spots enable you to achieve particularly effective results. By double encapsulating active ingredient molecules, they are better protected and directly reach the deeper skin layer (or dermis) where they achieve a significantly stronger effect than ordinary active ingredients. You benefit from this in that your skin cells are stimulated to a greater extent which will manifest in your skin's appearance within a short period of time.

Does the Doctor Mi! face care for pigment spots have a special fragrance?

No, that is not the case: Our products are free of artificial fragrances as a matter of principle. These can irritate your skin and, in the worst case, cause long-term damage. That is why you will only find natural and unobtrusive fragrances in our products which pose no threat to your skin.

Where are products in the Doctor Mi! MELASMA SET made?

All Doctor Mi! medical skincare products, including the products in the MELASMA SET, are manufactured in Munich and meet the highest quality standards.
