“Cosmelan” — an effective treatment for reducing hyperpigmentation
The “Cosmelan” treatment is a professional two-phase depigmentation treatment by “Mesoestetic”, designed to reduce hyperpigmentation, even out skin tone and regulate melanin synthesis. The treatment helps reduce pigmentation spots, improve skin texture and lower the risk of unwanted pigmentation recurring.
“Cosmelan” treatment for reducing pigmentation spots
The “Cosmelan” treatment is one of the best-known professional methods for reducing pigmentation spots and evening out skin tone. It is suitable for patients with melasma, lentigo, chloasma or other concerns related to skin pigmentation and texture.
The treatment is based on the “Mesoestetic” depigmentation system, which works in two stages — in the clinic and at home. “Cosmelan” not only helps reduce existing pigmentation spots but also regulates melanin synthesis, which is important for lowering the risk of hyperpigmentation returning.
What is the “Cosmelan” treatment?
“Cosmelan” is an intensive two-phase peeling and depigmentation treatment designed to reduce uneven skin tone, pigmentation spots and hyperpigmentation.
The treatment acts on the processes responsible for melanin production in the skin, helping to regulate pigment synthesis and improve the skin’s overall appearance.
The main advantage of the “Cosmelan” treatment is that it targets not only visible pigmentation spots but also the factors that contribute to their recurrence. For this reason, the treatment is particularly suitable for patients with persistent or recurring hyperpigmentation.
When is the “Cosmelan” treatment suitable?
The “Cosmelan” treatment may be suitable for the following skin concerns:
melasma;
lentigo, or pigmentation spots;
chloasma;
uneven skin tone;
sun-induced hyperpigmentation;
post-inflammatory pigmentation;
uneven skin texture;
dull, tired-looking skin with pigmentation changes.
A specialist will assess whether the treatment is suitable during a consultation, taking into account the patient’s skin type, the depth of pigmentation, skin sensitivity and daily habits.
How does “Cosmelan” work?
The aim of the “Cosmelan” treatment is to reduce excessive melanin production and regulate pigmentation processes in the skin.
Active depigmenting products are used during the treatment to help lighten pigmentation spots, improve skin tone and make the skin texture smoother.
The treatment programme lasts approximately four months. Both the in-clinic procedure and the at-home skincare routine are essential during this period.
The result depends greatly on following the doctor’s instructions, using the prescribed products regularly and maintaining strict sun protection.
Effects of the “Cosmelan” treatment
The “Cosmelan” treatment may help to:
reduce hyperpigmentation;
lighten pigmentation spots;
even out skin tone;
improve skin texture;
reduce the visibility of dark spots;
regulate melanin synthesis;
lower the risk of pigmentation recurring;
make the skin appear smoother;
improve the skin’s overall appearance;
promote a fresher and more even complexion.
The two stages of the “Cosmelan” treatment
The “Cosmelan” treatment is performed in two stages.
The first stage takes place at the clinic, where a specialist applies a depigmenting mask. The second stage continues at home using the product prescribed by the specialist and following detailed skincare recommendations.
This two-step approach helps achieve a more intensive and longer-lasting effect, as the depigmentation process continues after the in-clinic procedure.
“Cosmelan 1”: depigmenting mask applied at the clinic
During the first stage, the “Cosmelan 1” depigmenting mask is applied at the clinic. It acts on melanin synthesis, helps reduce hyperpigmentation, decreases the visibility of dark spots and helps prevent new pigmentation from developing.
The mask must remain on the skin for a specified period, usually eight to ten hours, according to the specialist’s instructions. The patient then removes it at home in accordance with the instructions provided.
Intensive skin peeling may occur several days after this stage. This is an expected skin reaction. During this period, it is particularly important to follow the doctor’s recommendations and avoid unsuitable or irritating skincare products.
“Cosmelan 2”: at-home skincare stage
A few days after the “Cosmelan 1” procedure, the second stage begins with the use of the “Cosmelan 2” product at home.
The product contains a tyrosinase inhibitor and active ingredients that help reduce melanin synthesis.
Using “Cosmelan 2” is an essential part of the treatment. It helps maintain the results, continue the depigmentation process and lower the risk of pigmentation recurring.
Why is it important to follow the doctor’s recommendations?
The “Cosmelan” treatment has an intensive effect, so patients must strictly follow the doctor’s recommendations and restrictions.
Appropriate at-home skincare, sun protection and the prescribed product-use schedule are essential for achieving a safe, even and lasting result.
The skin may be more sensitive after the treatment. It is therefore particularly important to avoid sun exposure, use SPF protection and not attempt to speed up the peeling process mechanically.
Results after the “Cosmelan” treatment
The “Cosmelan” treatment programme lasts approximately four months.
During this period, pigmentation spots may become lighter, the skin texture may become smoother, and the complexion may appear more even and refreshed.
Results vary from person to person and depend on the type and depth of pigmentation, skin type, consistent sun protection and regular at-home care.
For longer-lasting results, it is important to follow the full treatment protocol and continue following the specialist’s instructions even after visible improvements appear.
The “Cosmelan” treatment may help to:
reduce hyperpigmentation;
lighten pigmentation spots;
even out skin tone;
improve skin texture;
reduce the visibility of dark spots;
regulate melanin synthesis;
lower the risk of pigmentation recurring;
make the skin appear smoother;
improve the skin’s overall appearance;
promote a fresher and more even complexion.
Who is the “Cosmelan” treatment not suitable for?
A specialist will always determine whether the treatment is suitable.
Intensive skin treatments may not be appropriate in cases of certain skin conditions, active inflammation, pregnancy, breastfeeding or the use of particular medications.
During the consultation, patients should inform the specialist about their health, any medications they are taking and any previous skin treatments.
Common myths about the “Cosmelan” treatment
Myth: “Cosmelan” is an ordinary peel.
“Cosmelan” is not simply a traditional peel. It is a two-phase depigmentation treatment designed not only to reduce visible pigmentation spots but also to regulate melanin synthesis and lower the risk of pigmentation recurring.
Myth: The in-clinic mask alone is enough.
The “Cosmelan 1” mask applied at the clinic is only the first stage. To achieve the best possible results, the “Cosmelan 2” at-home skincare stage and compliance with the doctor’s recommendations throughout the treatment programme are equally important.
Myth: Sun protection is no longer necessary once pigmentation spots have faded.
Sun protection remains essential even after pigmentation has been reduced. UV radiation is one of the factors that can contribute to pigmentation spots returning, so using SPF is important both during and after the treatment.
