Cosmelan

Cosmelan is the leading depigmentation treatment to address dark spots and areas of pigmentation with efficacy and safety.

The Cosmelan method involves the highly effective combination of one in-clinic treatment, and a simple regime to follow at home.

The Cosmelan method is a unique combination of active ingredients that are proven to resolve pigmentation issues in both the short and long-term.

Like a conventional peel, the Cosmelan method visibly removes and reduces dark spots, but most importantly, it also regulates and corrects the overproduction of melanin to prevent reappearance of dark spots and areas of pigmentation.

What Does the Cosmelan Method Include?

The Cosmelan method begins with a one-month at-home skincare routine to prepare your skin, using products provided after your consultation. This is followed by an in-clinic peel and a home maintenance regime that may continue for up to 12 months.

How Does It Work?

The treatment consists of four phases. Phase 1 is an intense depigmentation peel applied in-clinic, left on for eight hours to target melanin deposits and promote skin renewal. Phases 2, 3, and 4 focus on depigmentation, regulation, and control through an at-home routine using Cosmelan 2 cream, Melan Recovery balm, and Melan 130 pigment control SPF. Skin shedding begins around 48 hours post-peel, and the at-home routine starts seven days later, guided by your practitioner.

Cosmelan – your questions answered

What is the science behind Cosmela?

The Cosmelan method corrects and regulates overproduction of melanin, therefore reducing and controlling the appearance of existing and new dark spots and pigmentation.

The Cosmelan peel addresses pigmentation in the short term, whilst the specialised Cosmelan creams and balms, that are applied by the client at home, ensure that it’s controlled in the long term.

Why is the Cosmelan at-home regime important?

The at-home regime prevents continued over-production of melanin in the skin. It is important that you follow the regime for the recommended length of time to prevent pigmentation from returning.

What are the Cosmelan peel side effects?

Peeling, along with a little redness and irritation can be expected initially. This will resolve as your skin heals. Melan recovery cream will help the skin to recover and reduce the peeling and irritation.

Are there any skincare products that should be avoided during the at-home regime?

Products containing Vitamin C or retinols should be avoided during the early months of the at-home regime. Your practitioner will ensure you have full guidance about looking after your skin to achieve the best results.

Can I have Cosmelan with other treatments?

You should avoid other treatments during the Cosmelan method.
