Sunlight can stimulate pigment
UV exposure can increase melanogenesis and contribute to existing pigmentation becoming more visible or recurring.
PIGMENTATION + UNEVEN SKIN TONE
Cosmelan depigmentation.
A professional pigmentation treatment for skin affected by uneven tone, melasma and visible discolouration.
Cosmelan combines an in-clinic depigmenting mask with a structured home-care program. Your treatment begins with assessment of the pigmentation, your skin and the factors that may be contributing to it.
UNDERSTANDING PIGMENTATION
Pigmentation is rarely just a surface problem.
Uneven pigmentation develops when melanin production becomes increased or uneven within the skin.
The pattern you see on the surface may be influenced by several factors, which is why successful pigmentation management usually requires more than simply exfoliating the visible dark area.
Pigment can become overactive
Dark spots develop when excess melanin is produced and accumulates unevenly within the skin.
Melasma can be persistent
Hormonal influences may contribute to some pigmentation patterns, including melasma, making ongoing management particularly important.
Pigment can follow irritation
Some skin develops darker marks after inflammation, blemishes or irritation — often described as post-inflammatory pigmentation.
WHY ASSESSMENT MATTERS
Not every brown mark is the same. Identifying the pigmentation pattern, your skin type and possible triggers helps us decide whether Cosmelan is an appropriate treatment approach.
THE COSMELAN METHOD
One clinic treatment. Ongoing pigment control.
Cosmelan is not simply a peel that ends when you leave the clinic.
The treatment begins with a professional depigmenting mask, followed by a structured home-care program designed to continue working on visible pigmentation and help regulate ongoing pigment production.
01
IN CLINIC
Professional Cosmelan mask
After assessment and preparation of the skin, the professional Cosmelan mask is applied in clinic.
You then leave the clinic wearing the mask and remove it at home at the time individually prescribed for you.
02
AT HOME
Continue the treatment
Home care is an essential part of the Cosmelan method, rather than an optional extra after the mask.
Your product routine and frequency are adjusted through the different stages of treatment as your skin progresses.

THE HOME PHASE MATTERS
Following the prescribed home-care routine and protecting the skin from UV exposure are important parts of the Cosmelan treatment plan.
AFTER COSMELAN
Expect an adaptation phase.
Cosmelan is an active pigmentation program, so the skin may look and feel different as it adjusts to treatment.
Redness + sensitivity
Some irritation, redness or sensitivity can occur during the initial phase while the skin adapts to treatment.
Light peeling can occur
Mild flaking or peeling may develop during the home phase. Avoid picking or unnecessarily irritating the skin.
Follow the prescribed routine
The home-care phase is a core part of the Cosmelan method. Your routine may change as your skin progresses through treatment.
Protect the skin every day
Consistent sun protection is especially important during pigmentation treatment and remains part of long-term pigment management.
KEEP THINGS SIMPLE
Avoid unnecessary irritation.
During the early treatment phase, follow the skin-care instructions provided and avoid adding unplanned active treatments or exfoliation.
PIGMENT CAN RETURN
Maintenance matters.
Pigmentation is dynamic, so long-term management includes ongoing skin care and consistent protection from UV exposure.
