Dermamelan® Pigment Correction Program
Advanced Correction for Melasma and Hyperpigmentation

Dermamelan® is a professional depigmentation treatment designed to improve the appearance of melasma, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and uneven skin tone.

Unlike traditional chemical peels that focus primarily on exfoliation, Dermamelan® works by targeting the underlying processes involved in pigment production while combining professional in-office treatment with a comprehensive physician-directed home care program.

This structured approach helps improve existing pigmentation while supporting long-term maintenance and recurrence prevention.

At You Are Beautiful, Dermamelan® is offered as a guided pigment correction protocol designed for patients seeking a more comprehensive solution for stubborn discoloration and melasma.

Conditions Commonly Treated

  • Melasma
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Sun damage
  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Acne-related discoloration
  • Hormonal pigmentation concerns

A Comprehensive Treatment Protocol

Dermamelan® is not a single treatment—it is a guided correction program completed over several weeks.

Progress Evaluation + Corrective Facial

Your provider evaluates healing and treatment response while performing a corrective facial designed to support recovery and optimize results.

Maintenance Facial + Follow-Up Assessment

A final facial treatment and skin evaluation are performed to assess progress and ensure optimal response to the home care program.

The Importance of Home Care

A significant portion of the Dermamelan® protocol occurs at home.

Each patient receives a professional home care system that is used throughout the treatment period to support pigment correction and improve long-term results.

Consistent use of the prescribed products is essential to achieving optimal outcomes.

What to Expect

Patients may experience:

  • Redness
  • Peeling
  • Dryness

These responses are expected and are part of the treatment process.
Results develop gradually as pigmentation improves and overall skin tone becomes more even and balanced.

I had a great experience with Dr. Kim!!! He did his best to make me feel comfortable during the procedure and explained the whole process to me beforehand. The entire staff were also so nice! You can tell they all get along and have a great work culture. Sally R.
I love this office . First and foremost Dr. Kim has the most kind, heart warming staff working with him. Secondly, I have had several consultations with Dr. Kim regarding procedures that I am considering. During the consults he really takes time to understand my needs and give honest advice along with visuals of what I would like to achieve. His work is so precise to what I aim to achieve and is totally on point 💯 to satisfaction. Dr. Kim and his staff are vextremly friendly, patient and professional. I am definitely becoming a regular here. Must try the Diamond glow facial and other skin rejuvenating procedure! Nikki P.
I really enjoyed my visit to Dr. Kim’s office. From the moment that I walked in, the staff was extremely welcoming and friendly. Dr. Kim is very educated and easy to talk to. He really took the time to listen and to try to make sure you knew what would be best for you. Another bonus is he brings his cute little dog to the office with him. I would100% recommend him and his staff. Pam K.
Visiting Dr.Kim’s office has been a wonderful experience thus far. His staff makes me feel happy and assured at every visit. Of course, the man of the hour has always been calm, humble and tends to humor me at every comment and answers every question that has came up in our visits. I believe I have made the right choice to receive Dr. Kim’s medical expertise as being under his hands, he has been gentle during the operation as well as produced excellent results. (Biggest plus, I have never felt rushed under his care lol you’re the bomb Dr. Kim!!!! Jennifer C.
After interviewing several physicians I decided to go with Dr. Kim. Professionalism is extremely important to me but so is the character of the physician, the attitude, and personality. He made me feel comfortable, he was confident but not arrogant. I trusted his expertise and I was not disappointed. Thank you Dr. Kim! Judy G.
I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Kim for Asian eyelid surgery (upper eyelid blepharoplasty)!!! My results turned out better than I could have ever imagined. Dr. Kim really took the time to listen to me and what I wanted. Together, we carefully planned out where the eyelid crease would be, and it is exactly where we had planned! I also had a quick and somehow painless recovery, which I’m sure much of that can be owed to his excellent surgical technique. I feel so much more beautiful and confident after this surgery. My only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner in life. Thank you, Dr. Kim, for quite literally changing my life, and thank you to his wonderful staff who made this such a pleasant and efficient experience! JA
