Melasma Treatment with Cosmelan® Peel in Wilmington, NC
Reveal Clear, Even-Toned Skin with the Most Advanced Solution for Melasma and Hyperpigmentation
Melasma and uneven pigmentation can be difficult to treat and are often caused by hormonal changes, sun exposure, or inflammation. In Wilmington, North Carolina, the skilled professionals and melasma specialists at United Medical and Aesthetics, led by Aleta Sloan, proudly perform melasma treatment with the Cosmelan® Peel by Mesoestetic, a trusted professional solution specifically designed to correct and control this challenging skin condition. This advanced depigmentation treatment safely targets the source of excess melanin production, helping fade dark patches while improving the overall clarity and brightness of the skin.
Unlike traditional chemical peels, this treatment works deeply within the skin to regulate melanin activity, gradually reducing existing discoloration and preventing new pigmentation from developing. It helps renew the skin’s surface, refine texture, and restore balance for a more even complexion. Gentle yet highly effective, the procedure supports the skin’s natural regeneration process, delivering noticeable improvements in tone, radiance, and smoothness with minimal irritation or downtime. Patients enjoy long-lasting results and a clearer, more confident appearance over time.
