ISLA Skin Therapies

What we’re loving most about Cosmelan isn’t actually the peel itself. It’s the shift in the science behind it.

Most pigment treatments focus on removing pigment you can already see.

But modern science is becoming more interested in why the melanocyte keeps producing pigment in the first place.

That’s where Melaphenone® comes in.

A patented molecule within the newer Cosmelan® and Dermamelan® systems designed to target tyrosinase one of the key enzymes involved in melanin production.

Tyrosinase → Melanin

Pigment isn’t always just sun damage.

It can also be influenced by:
• inflammation
• hormones
• heat
• vascular activity
• oxidative stress

It’s no surprise Serena and I are less interested in quick fixes and more interested in how the skin behaves 3, 6 and 12 months later.

That’s the part of pigment management that’s most interesting. ✨

Nothing goes on the ISLA menu unless I’ve fully immersed myself in it first.

Nothing happens until we understand: the science, the skins response, the healing phase, the downtime, the maintenance and how the skin behaves long after the treatment is finished.

Mesoestetic recently evolved the Cosmelan formula + protocol and now it aligns far more with the way we treat skin at ISLA.

Less aggressive “quick fix.”
More long-term pigment management.

Cosmelan has officially landed at ISLA this winter with an introductory offer.

There’s more very exciting things coming to ISLA.

We’re not interested in needling unhealthy skin. Which means we have a few SkinPen non negotiables.

Not every skin is ready for aggressive correction just because it wants collagen.

If the barrier is impaired, inflammation is high, healing is sluggish or SPF and homecare aren’t consistent, we would rather spend time preparing the skin first than push straight into treatment.

SkinPen works by creating controlled injury, triggering a wound healing response that stimulates collagen production. But the quality of the result is heavily influenced by how the skin heals afterwards.

It’s also why two people can have the exact same treatment and experience very different outcomes.

Serena and I see so many skins that don’t actually need “more”.

They need recovery.

More stimulation isn’t always the answer. Especially when the skin is already inflamed, reactive or struggling to heal properly.

Before we think about advanced correction, we’re always looking at:
* Barrier function
* Inflammation
* How the skin is healing
* What the skin can actually tolerate

Advanced treatments like don’t just rely on the treatment itself. They rely on the skin’s ability to respond well afterwards, creating lasting results.

They rely on the skin being healthy enough to respond well and support the goals we’re achieving together.

Don’t we all want the ‘after’ 🙌🏻

We need to talk more about what it actually takes to get there.

• The preparation.
• The consistency.
• The healing phase.
• The patience.

Advanced skin treatments aren’t magic. It’s consistency, preparation and intelligent correction over time.

Aggressive treatments on unprepared skin rarely end well.

With us preparation is part of the treatment.

DMK EFAs before a big treatment isn’t random. Supporting lipid function before controlled trauma can completely change how skin responds, heals and recovers.

Barrier support, inflammation control and skin readiness matter just as much as the treatment itself.

When the right home care meets the right in clinic strategy
ISLA magic !

A huge thank you to all of our teens, especially our guys.
We know walking into a skin clinic can feel like a huge step, and we never take that trust lightly.

Supporting skin early isn’t just about breakouts now. It’s about building confidence, routines and healthier skin for adult life.

We’re so grateful to help shape that foundation.

An ISLA voucher is more than a gift.

It’s time set aside.

A moment where everything slows, and the focus shifts back to you.

Everything you see in your skin starts here.

Inside the cell.

• Inflammation.
• Pigment.
• Ageing.
• Breakouts.

What you see on the surface is driven by what’s happening underneath.

Most treatments focus on what’s visible, we’ve always believed in focusing on what’s driving it.

The same treatment can either repair skin or set it back.

It’s not just what we do.
It’s when we do it.

The wrong actives during inflammation amplify cytokine signalling.

Stimulating skin that isn’t stable interferes with repair pathways.

Peeling when cohesion is impaired further disrupts barrier integrity.

Not because the treatment is wrong. Because the skin isn’t ready.

Even the right treatment, at the wrong time, creates the wrong response.

Timing comes before treatment.
