The Cosmelan Method is a professional depigmentation programme designed to safely and effectively reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation, including stubborn melasma, sun damage, and post-inflammatory pigmentation.
TREATMENT OPTION
This advanced topical treatment combines a single in-clinic session with a carefully structured at-home protocol to achieve optimal results. The in-clinic phase begins with the application of a professional Cosmelan mask, followed by a tailored at-home skincare regimen that continues under the guidance of your aesthetic practitioner for approximately six months.
Cosmelan works by lifting both surface and dermal pigmentation, while re-educating the skin’s melanocyte cells to reduce the overproduction of pigment triggered by sun exposure. The result is a clearer, brighter, and more even complexion—restored over time with patience and commitment.
A Comprehensive Visia Skin Analysis is required prior to treatment to assess skin suitability and ensure the best possible outcome.

FAQs
How does Cosmelan work?
Cosmelan works in two phases:
- The in-clinic mask begins the depigmentation process by lifting surface and dermal pigmentation.
- The at-home programme continues the correction process, re-educating melanocyte cells to reduce excess pigment production.
Who is suitable for Cosmelan?
Cosmelan is suitable for most skin types and tones, a Comprehensive Visia Skin Analysis is required before treatment to assess your skin’s suitability and create a bespoke treatment plan
How long does the Cosmelan programme last?
The full Cosmelan protocol typically spans six months, with the in-clinic session followed by a tailored at-home skincare plan under professional guidance.
Is there downtime?
Some redness, flaking, and peeling can be expected in the days following the in-clinic mask application. This is part of the skin’s natural renewal process and will be discussed in detail during your consultation.
When will I see results?
Results become progressively visible over time as pigmentation lifts and skin tone improves. Consistency with the at-home protocol is essential for achieving optimal outcomes.
