Background: The majority of post-procedure skin whitening and repair methods for postmedical aesthetic procedures fail to achieve desired skin whitening and repair functionality due to limitations in stability and skin penetration capability. Objective: To address this issue, we developed a Triple Permeation System (TPS) integrated nanocarrier, atomization, and electro-enhanced permeation technologies. Methods: Five active ingredients were encapsulated into the liposomes via high-pressure homogenization technology to form a composite nanocarrier named PRO-Peptide311. Results: PRO-Peptide311 effectively increased cellular uptake and significantly decreased tyrosinase activity, melanin expression, ROS levels, and the secretion of inflammatory factors at the cellular level. Moreover, the skin whitening efficacy was confirmed using a 3D skin model. When combined with atomization and electro-enhanced permeation technologies, PRO-Peptide311 demonstrated substantially improved percutaneous penetration compared to any single technology alone. Discussion: The enhanced performance of TPS highlights the synergistic effect achieved through combining nanocarrier encapsulation with physical enhancement techniques. This integrated approach effectively overcomes key limitations in transdermal delivery, such as poor stability and insufficient penetration of multi-functional active compounds. The system shows strong potential for application in managing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and lays the foundation for the future development of advanced skincare delivery systems. Conclusion: The TPS-based delivery system not only alleviates post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation following aesthetic procedures but also holds promise for broadening the scope of transdermal therapies in dermatology and cosmeceuticals.
