Cosmelan Peel
Cosmelan is a professional depigmentation treatment designed to reduce the appearance of melasma and other forms of pigmentation. It combines professional in-clinic mask application with a strict at-home skincare protocol to help regulate pigment.

Cosmelan works by inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase, which plays a central role in the formation of melanin (pigment). The initial mask is applied in-clinic and left on for several hours, followed by a prescribed homecare routine to extend the effects of the peel and prevent pigment recurrence.
Cosmelan may be used to treat:
- Melasma
- Sunspots
- Freckles
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
- Uneven skin tone due to excess melanin
Cosmelan is suitable for most skin types and is often recommended for individuals with persistent pigmentation that has not responded to other modalities. It is not suitable during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or for those using certain medications.
The application is not usually painful, but some clients may experience warmth or tingling. Post-treatment effects may include redness, peeling, and dryness.
