Cosmelan Depigmentation Peel
The cosmelan method acts within cells responsible for skin pigmentation, decreasing colour production in areas where excess production is apparent to achieve the disappearance or attenuation of unattractive blemishes caused by excess melanin in the skin.
The Cosmelan peel is a great alternative for clients with olive and darker skin tones, who suffer from pigmentation but are not a suitable candidate for IPL or Laser treatment.
Cosmelan is also our preferred method for removing hormonal and stubborn pigmentation, results are usually seen after just one treatment.
How It works
- Induces quick depigmentation action
- Highly effective for all kinds of skin blemishes (melisma, chloasma, senile blemishes, pregnancy blemishes, sunspots, blemishes due to oral contraceptives etc.)
- The cosmelan method can be initiated at any time of the year, provided the patient uses sun protection on a daily basis, so as to permit exposure to the sun without negative effects on the blemishes being treated.
- The cosmelan method is compatible with any skin phototype.
The Results
During the first week the skin will already show substantial improvement. Blemishes being treated will tend to diminish and simultaneously, the skin will start to show a brighter rejuvenated look.

Frequently asked
Can you wear makeup after a Cosmelan peel?
After a Cosmelan peel it is generally recommended to avoid wearing makeup for a period as part of your post-peel care. The exact duration can vary depending on the specific instructions we provide for your skin.
How long do you peel after a Cosmelan peel?
The peeling process can vary from person to person, depending on factors such as your skin type, the level of pigmentation and how closely you follow the post-peel care instructions. Typically the peeling can start a few days after the peel is applied and last for two to three weeks.
How long does a Cosmelan peel last?
This can vary depending on your individual skin type, the level of pigmentation being treated and how well you follow post-peel care. We recommend a consultation for advice tailored to your skin, and managing factors like sun exposure and using appropriate skincare products helps maintain your skin's improved appearance.
How often can you have a Cosmelan peel?
The frequency can vary depending on your individual skin type, the level of pigmentation and what we recommend at your consultation. Cosmelan is a potent depigmentation procedure, so treatments are usually not performed too frequently, as overuse can potentially lead to skin sensitivity. A consistent sun protection routine and suitable skincare between treatments helps achieve and maintain the best results.
Is a Cosmelan peel permanent?
Cosmelan is not considered a permanent solution for pigmentation such as melasma or sunspots. It can provide significant and long-lasting improvements in skin tone and pigmentation, but the results are not always permanent and vary from person to person. Maintaining the results requires ongoing care, including sun protection and possibly periodic maintenance treatments.
Is a Cosmelan peel a chemical peel?
Yes, Cosmelan is a type of chemical peel, specifically designed to address hyperpigmentation issues, including melasma, sunspots, and other forms of skin discoloration. It is a depigmentation treatment that uses a combination of chemical agents to exfoliate and lighten the skin, reduce melanin production, and even out skin tone. Cosmelan is considered one of the more effective treatments for addressing hyperpigmentation, but it may not be suitable for everyone. It's essential to consult with us to determine if Cosmelan or another depigmentation treatment is the right choice for your specific skin concerns. We have an alternative peel that uses more natural ingredients and gives similar results if you prefer.
