Cosmelan is a world-renowned depigmentation treatment, celebrated for its exceptional efficacy in correcting hyperpigmentation and achieving a more even skin tone. This advanced treatment reduces the appearance of dark spots and blemishes, resulting from factors like sun exposure, aging, and hormonal imbalances. Cosmelan works by inhibiting the enzyme responsible for melanin production, thus addressing the root cause of pigmentation issues.
What are Cosmelan treatments and how does it work?
The Cosmelan® method visibly removes and attenuates spots (just like a peel) but it most importantly provides a regulating action as it corrects the overproduction of pigmentation to prevent the spots' reappearance. While peelings act on the surface of the problem, cosmelan® treatment targets the origin.
The Cosmelan treatment involves a two-phase process, beginning with the first step conducted professionally in the clinic. Here, the Cosmelan 1 peel is applied to your face and remains for 6-10 hours. Expect significant peeling of the skin by the third day. After a week, the treatment progresses to the second phase, which involves the application of Cosmelan 2. This phase is crucial for preventing recurrence. Cosmelan 2 acts as a tyrosinase inhibitor, effectively reducing the production of excess melanin and ensuring lasting results
Suitable to help treat pigmentation caused by:
- Damage from Sun Exposure
- Ageing
- Pigmentation from certain medications
- Genetic causes
- Photosensitising medication
- Hormonal changes
- Certain Chemical Exposure
- Inflammatory processes
Perfect for clients dealing with any form of pigmentation, particularly stubborn to treat melasma. It’s highly effective for those seeking a clear, even-toned complexion.
Cosmelan works through a unique two-phase approach:
- In-Clinic Treatment: A specialised mask is applied by a professional to kick-start the process, promoting rapid skin cell turnover and reducing melanin levels.
- Home Care Routine: A customised home care plan follows to support skin recovery and prevent the recurrence of pigmentation, ensuring long-lasting results.
WHAT BENEFITS WILL I SEE IN MY SKIN?
Expect a noticeable reduction in pigmentation and a more uniform skin tone. As your skin goes through the treatment process, you’ll also notice improved texture – firmer, softer skin that makes Cosmelan an excellent age management treatment as well!
ANY DOWNTIME?Yes, some downtime is required. For the first three days, expect your skin to look sunburned with peeling and some discomfort. From days 4-10, there will be mild peeling and flaking. Most clients are comfortable resuming normal activities around day 4.
We recommend a Cosmelan treatment every 12-24 months to maintain results and manage pigmentation.
