Hyperpigmentation is a common and often frustrating skin condition, affecting many patients seeking long-term solutions. AesthetiXpert by Komona Govender was the first clinic in South Africa to introduce the Skinderma Melano Peel (SKD Melano Pack). Since offering this treatment, Komona has observed impressive improvements in her patients’ skin, with significant reductions in pigmentation and enhanced overall skin quality. This article explores the results achieved in her clinic, the technical details of the treatment, and how it can benefit both patients and clinics seeking effective pigmentation management solutions.
Hyperpigmentation remains one of the most prevalent skin concerns worldwide, often cited as the top issue faced by dermatologists and skincare professionals alike.
Throughout my years of treating patients, I’ve witnessed first-hand the challenges associated with managing this chronic and unpredictable condition. The journey often feels like a constant battle – five steps forward, three steps back.
However, after being introduced to the Skinderma Melano Peel, I believe we have found a robust, long-term, and affordable management solution for hyperpigmentation.
The challenge of hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation can arise from various factors, including sun exposure, hormonal changes, and inflammation. This erratic condition poses significant treatment challenges, often requiring a multifaceted approach. While many aesthetic protocols have yielded some success over the years, results can be inconsistent, leaving both practitioners and patients frustrated.
Introducing the Skinderma Melano Peel
The Skinderma Melano Peel represents a paradigm shift in our approach to treating hyperpigmentation. This innovative treatment combines powerful active ingredients designed to target melanin production effectively while promoting skin renewal. The Melano Peel leverages advanced technology to deliver consistent results with minimal downtime.
A few of the benefits I’ve noticed in my clinic
- Visible results: Patients treated with the Skinderma Melano Peel have shown noticeable improvements in pigmentation and overall skin texture. Before-and-after images from my clinic illustrate the effectiveness of this treatment in reducing pigmentation and improving skin tone.
- High patient satisfaction: Many of my patients have shared positive feedback, not only about the visible results but also about the smoother, healthier appearance of their skin.
- Sustainable management: The Melano Peel has become a cornerstone in the long-term management of hyperpigmentation for my patients. By combining the peel with a personalised skincare routine, we’ve seen sustained results that have built trust and confidence among those we treat.
In one case, a patient struggling with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation saw remarkable results after just one session. Her skin appeared brighter and more even-toned, with a clear reduction in pigmentation. Cases like these highlight the potential of the Skinderma Melano Peel to provide reliable outcomes.
This treatment has been a transformative addition to my clinic, and I’m confident it will continue to set the standard for effective hyperpigmentation management in South Africa.

How does the SKD Melano Pack Work?
The SKD Melano Pack is a specialised depigmentation system developed by Skinderma, a medical cosmetics company based in Spain. It works through a combination of powerful active ingredients that target melanin production and promote skin renewal.
Key ingredients and actions
- Inhibiting melanin synthesis: Ingredients like kojic acid, arbutin, and phytic acid work to suppress the pathways responsible for melanin production, reducing pigmentation at its source.
- Skin renewal: The treatment gently exfoliates the superficial layer of the epidermis, helping to improve skin tone and texture.
Treatment protocol
In-clinic application:
- The Melano Mask is applied as a thick, even layer across the treatment area.
- It remains on the skin for 6 to 12 hours, depending on the severity of hyperpigmentation, before being washed off at home with water or SKD Tonic Lotion.
Post-treatment care:
- Patients apply the Melano Cream daily, as directed by their practitioner, to maintain the treatment results.
- Regular moisturising and the use of SPF 50 sunscreen are essential to protect the skin during the healing process.
This structured protocol ensures consistent results while minimising potential side effects, such as redness or peeling.
Clinical evidence supporting the SKD Melano Pack
Clinical studies have shown the effectiveness of the SKD Melano Pack in treating hyperpigmentation. One study, conducted in Spain in June 2023, involved 10 patients aged 24 to 63, all presenting with varying degrees of hyperpigmentation.
Results:
- The participants’ melanin score dropped from an average of 203 before treatment to 126 after 90 days, as measured by the Maxemeter® device.
- A total of 90% of the participants reported visible improvements in skin tone and a boost in confidence.
These findings demonstrate that the SKD Melano Pack delivers consistent and measurable results, making it a reliable choice for both patients and practitioners.
Why should clinics offer the Skinderma Melano Peel?
For clinics, the Skinderma Melano Peel offers a scientifically backed, results-driven, and more affordable solution for hyperpigmentation. Its ability to provide visible improvements in patients’ skin can enhance a clinic’s reputation while building long-term relationships with satisfied patients.
Adding the Skinderma Melano Peel to your treatment offerings provides an excellent alternative for those looking for results-driven care at a more accessible price point, complementing existing treatments without detracting from their unique benefits. This addition helps to broaden your clinic’s range of options, catering to diverse patient needs, budgets and preferences.
