Cosmelan

Treatment Recommendations

Cosmelan is an advanced professional depigmentation treatment developed to target the underlying causes of pigmentation rather than simply treating surface discoloration. The treatment begins with the application of a specialised Cosmelan mask in the clinic, which is left on the skin for a prescribed period before being removed at home according to your practitioner’s instructions. This is followed by a carefully structured homecare programme using professional products that help regulate melanin production, support skin renewal, and maintain long-term results. Cosmelan is highly effective for treating melasma, sun damage, age spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), acne marks, and uneven skin tone. As the skin naturally renews itself, pigmentation gradually fades, skin texture improves, and the complexion becomes brighter, smoother, and more uniform. The treatment is suitable for a wide range of skin types and provides comprehensive skin rejuvenation alongside pigmentation correction.

Prerequisites

A consultation with a qualified practitioner is essential before undergoing Cosmelan treatment to assess your skin condition and determine whether the treatment is suitable for your pigmentation concerns. Please inform your practitioner of any medical conditions, allergies, pregnancy, breastfeeding, active skin infections, eczema, rosacea, recent cosmetic procedures, or medications that may affect skin healing. Avoid excessive sun exposure, retinoids, chemical exfoliants, waxing, and other potentially irritating skincare treatments for several days before your appointment. Following the prescribed homecare routine and strict daily sun protection is essential for achieving safe, effective, and long-lasting results.

Additional Information

The in-clinic Cosmelan treatment typically takes 30–45 minutes, followed by a personalised homecare programme that plays a vital role in achieving optimal results. During the first few days after treatment, it is normal to experience redness, tightness, dryness, and visible peeling as the skin undergoes its renewal process. These effects gradually improve with proper aftercare. Many clients begin to notice brighter, more even skin within the first few weeks, while continued improvements in pigmentation, skin clarity, and overall texture develop over the following months. Consistent use of the recommended skincare products and daily broad-spectrum SPF 50 sun protection is essential to maintain results and minimise the risk of future pigmentation recurrence.
