About Cosmelan Depigmentation
Cosmelan is a professional depigmentation treatment designed to address stubborn pigmentation at its source. Rather than just treating the dark spots you can see, Cosmelan works by slowing down the enzyme responsible for melanin (pigment) production in your skin. This makes it uniquely effective for melasma — one of the most challenging pigmentation conditions — as well as dark spots from sun damage and discoloration left behind after breakouts. The treatment follows a two-phase approach: an in-office mask application followed by a home maintenance regimen that continues the depigmentation process. Results develop progressively over 2–4 weeks as your skin's pigment production normalizes and existing discoloration fades. It's safe for all skin types and tones, making it an excellent option for patients with darker complexions who may not be good candidates for certain laser treatments. The in-office phase takes about 45–60 minutes. Afterward, expect 5–7 days of redness, peeling, and sensitivity as your skin renews itself. We'll provide a detailed home care kit and instructions for the maintenance phase, which is essential for achieving and maintaining your results. Most patients see significant clearing of stubborn pigmentation that other treatments haven't fully addressed.
