What is Cosmelan Depigmentation?
Cosmelan is the world's leading professional depigmentation treatment, effective against all types of dark spots including melasma, sun damage, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This intensive programme delivers dramatic results for even the most stubborn pigmentation.
How It Works
The Cosmelan masque is applied in-clinic and left on for a prescribed period. It contains a potent blend of depigmenting agents that inhibit melanin production at a cellular level. You continue treatment at home with the Cosmelan 2 cream to maintain and enhance results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Cosmelan so effective for melasma?
Cosmelan works by inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase, which is responsible for melanin production. Unlike treatments that only address existing pigment, Cosmelan prevents new melanin from forming, which is why it is so effective for recurring conditions like melasma.
