Cosmelan is a world-leading, professional, two-phase depigmentation treatment designed to minimise stubborn skin pigmentation such as melasma, acne scars and sun damage by inhibiting melanin production and accelerating cell renewal. Developed in Spain, this “topical peel” combines an in-clinic mask (Phase 1) with a long-term homecare regimen (Phase 2) to brighten and unify skin tone for all skin types.
Cosmelan results typically include a significant reduction in stubborn pigmentation, sun spots, and melasma, resulting in a clearer, brighter, and more even skin tone. Initial results appear within 2-3 weeks, with full, radiant results usually visible after 4-8 weeks, supported by a 6-month maintenance homecare routine to prevent recurrence..
Cosmelan is a powerful, professional-grade depigmentation treatment designed to treat stubborn pigmentation like melasma. It carries risks of significant initial side effects, including intense redness, severe peeling, swelling, skin sensitivity, and a burning or stinging sensation. While usually temporary, these effects are part of the intensive initial resurfacing process.
Preparing for a Cosmelan treatment involves a structured 2–4 week preparation phase to optimize skin results and minimize sensitivity. Key steps include using specific brightening prep products, pausing active skincare ingredients, avoiding sun exposure, and avoiding treatments like waxing or lasers in the lead up.
Cosmelan is a two-phase depigmentation treatment that starts with an in-clinic, high-concentration, thick brown mask application (left on for 8 hours) to inhibit pigment production, followed by a 6 month-long home care regime.
After the Cosmelan treatment mask is applied in-clinic, it is removed by the patient at home 8 hours later using a gentle cleanser. A strict, weeks-long regimen of daily skin care products are used to protect, soothe, and treat skin. Expect up to 7 days of redness, heat, and significant peeling, followed by a maintenance phase with the Cosmelan 2 cream for 6 months.
