Treatment Details

Cosmelan is a professional-grade depigmentation treatment designed to address various skin pigmentation issues, including melasma, sun spots, age spots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This treatment is known for its effectiveness in brightening the skin and promoting an even skin tone, particularly for individuals who struggle with persistent pigmentation that doesn’t respond to other methods.

Cosmelan is suitable for a wide range of skin types and concerns, making it one of the most popular treatments for pigmentation correction. It is particularly effective in treating melasma, a type of pigmentation commonly seen in women due to hormonal changes or pregnancy.

Benefits

  • Effective for Various Types of Hyperpigmentation: Works well for conditions like melasma, sun spots, and post-acne pigmentation.
  • Minimises Dark Spots: Reduces the appearance of dark spots and promotes an even skin tone.
  • Non-invasive: A non-surgical treatment option with moderate downtime.
  • Safe for Most Skin Types: Suitable for a wide variety of skin types, including those with darker skin tones.

FAQs About Cosmelan

  • Skin Redness: Redness and irritation are common after the in-clinic application of the mask and during the first few days of using the home care cream.
  • Flaking/Peeling: As the skin renews, some peeling or flaking may occur as dead skin cells are exfoliated.
  • Sensitivity: The skin may be more sensitive to sun exposure after treatment, so it’s important to apply sunscreen daily.
Yes, Cosmelan is generally safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones. It is one of the few treatments suitable for people with melasma, a condition that often affects individuals with darker skin.

Many patients begin to see early improvements within 10-14 days, although full results typically appear within 6 months. It’s important to follow the home care regimen to maintain results over time.

Cosmelan typically requires just one in-clinic treatment (Cosmelan 1 mask), followed by home care (Cosmelan 2). However, depending on the severity of pigmentation, some individuals may benefit from additional treatments or maintenance sessions.

Makeup can usually be applied once the skin has settled, typically a few days post-treatment. It’s important to use gentle, non-comedogenic products that won’t irritate the skin.
Downtime is minimal, but patients can experience redness, peeling, or dryness during the first week. It’s essential to avoid direct sun exposure and follow all aftercare instructions.
It is recommended to avoid Cosmelan during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to active ingredients that may not be suitable at that time. Hormones circulating throughout pregnancy can also influence the formation of pigmentation, so it is in the best interest of your skin and health to seek treatment after pregnancy & breastfeeding stages.
Results can last anywhere from 6 months to a year, depending on individual skin type and lifestyle factors such as sun exposure. Ongoing home care and sun protection are crucial to maintaining results.
After the in-clinic mask is removed, you will be required to use the prescribed Cosmelan 2 cream at home, follow all post-treatment care instructions, and protect your skin from sun exposure by using sunscreen regularly.
Cosmelan is a highly effective treatment for individuals struggling with hyperpigmentation. By inhibiting melanin production, it can significantly lighten dark spots, even out skin tone, and restore a brighter complexion. With minimal downtime and impressive results, Cosmelan has become one of the go-to treatments for those seeking a non-invasive solution to pigmentation concerns.

Whether you’re looking to reduce pigmentation, smooth fine lines, clear breakouts or simply revitalise a tired complexion, our treatments can be customised to suit your skin’s unique needs.

We offer a variety of peel strengths, from superficial to medium-depth, all performed by skilled therapists using high-quality active ingredients.
