Your Cosmelan® journey begins with a professional in-clinic application of the Cosmelan® mask. This mask works intensively to initiate the depigmentation process. After a specified period, it is removed at home, allowing the skin to begin its renewal phase.
A personalised homecare programme then follows, which is an essential part of the treatment. These products are designed to calm, protect and maintain results while continuing to regulate pigment production. During this time, the skin may experience redness, dryness or gentle peeling — all of which are expected and temporary as the skin renews.

How does Cosmelan® work?
Cosmelan® works by reducing excess melanin production in the skin, which is responsible for pigmentation. It not only helps to fade existing dark patches but also regulates pigment formation to help prevent it from returning, resulting in a brighter and more even complexion over time.
Is Cosmelan® suitable for all skin types?
Cosmelan® is suitable for most skin types and tones when prescribed by a trained professional. A detailed consultation is always carried out prior to treatment to ensure it is appropriate for your skin and to customise the protocol for optimal results.
What can I expect after the treatment?
Following treatment, it is normal to experience redness, dryness, tightness and visible peeling as the skin renews itself. These effects are temporary and part of the process. Your practitioner will guide you through each stage and provide personalised aftercare advice to keep your skin comfortable.
How soon will I see results?
Many clients begin to notice improvements in skin brightness and clarity within the first few weeks. Pigmentation continues to improve over time as the homecare phase progresses, with results becoming more refined and long-lasting with consistent aftercare.
Is aftercare important with Cosmelan®?
Aftercare is essential to the success of Cosmelan®. Using the prescribed homecare products and applying broad-spectrum SPF daily helps protect the skin, support healing and maintain your results, significantly reducing the risk of pigmentation returning.

Beyond visible improvement in pigmentation, clients often notice a significant enhancement in overall skin quality. The complexion appears brighter, clearer and more refined, with a smoother texture and a healthy, luminous glow. Skin tone looks more balanced and uniform, giving the face a fresher, more youthful appearance.
As the skin renews, many clients experience improved clarity with a reduction in dullness and congestion. Post-acne marks gradually soften, and the skin feels stronger, calmer and more resilient over time. With continued use of the prescribed homecare and daily sun protection, results continue to refine, helping to maintain a clearer and more even complexion long term.
Cosmelan® not only transforms the appearance of pigmentation but also supports skin confidence, allowing clients to feel comfortable and radiant in their own skin.
ion, Cosmelan® can deliver beautifully transformative results that are both visible and long-lasting.
