How Does a Cosmelan Treatment Work?

The Cosmelan Peel Sydney is a two-step procedure that aims to correct pigmentation issues in the skin such as melasma, hyperpigmentation, skin texture and other blemishes. The ingredients regulate the overproduction of melanin in the skin. Through an exfoliation of the skin, Cosmelan Peel removes dead layers of skin cells that have accumulated over time. To maintain this, the active ingredients work to prevent any new production of melanin (the natural pigment that gives the colour to your skin) which is the main cause of dark spots and hyperpigmentation.

The first step of the treatment includes an initial consultation with one of our experienced dermal clinicians followed by the application of the Cosmelan mask. The mask requires to be left on your skin between 6 to 12 hours. Your treating practitioner will provide detailed instructions on how and when to remove the mask at home.

The second step is the at-home aftercare routine. You will be provided with a Cosmelan home aftercare kit. This contains all the products and information necessary to effectively carry out your Cosmelan maintenance at home. The home aftercare kit will last up to one month and can be repurchased as necessary.

This at-home aftercare must be followed diligently for the next 6 months for the best results. Peeling typically starts after 2–3 days, during which you will start to see initial results and significant brightening of the skin.

Treat Pigmentation with Cosmelan

The Cosmelan Hyperpigmentation Treatment is a treatment designed to remove superficial pigmentation for all individuals irrespective of skin type, skin colour or age.

Pigmentation is a common problem faced by many Australians wherein areas of the skin develop a darker appearance in colour than the surrounding skin due to an excess production of melanin. This may develop a patchy appearance or uneven skin tone and can be triggered or aggravated by sun exposure.

The Cosmelan Peel is the perfect solution for this issue and is often referred to as a ‘depigmentation’ treatment. It has shown to effectively improve the quality of skin of patients who suffer from even the most treatment resistant melasma, hyperpigmentation and other similar skin conditions.

The 2-phase treatment significantly reduces blemishes on the skin caused by melanin increase by targeting brown patches and skin discolourations. It suppresses potential pigmentation from reappearing with an ongoing anti-ageing skincare routine that nourishes and conditions your skin.

Cosmelan Peels for Treatment Resistant Pigmentation

The Cosmelan Treatment is a clinically validated treatment for ‘depigmentation’ for resistant skin pigmentary conditions. Its goal is to smooth dark or brown spots on the skin that have been resistant to other forms of treatments. It is best known for its efficacy in treating resistant hyperpigmentation, sun spots, melasma and other similar skin disorders.

The Cosmelan Peel is also infused with kojic acid which prevents future production of pigmentation. The Cosmelan Peel induces the layers of the skin to physically peel off in a gentle and controlled manner. The goal is fresh, healthy skin free of visible signs of pigmentation.

Added benefits in addition to treating pigmentation may include:

  • Skin rejuvenation
  • Effective exfoliation
  • Treatment of liver spots and freckles
  • Balances production of skin oils
  • Increased collagen production
  • Soothes fine lines, wrinkles and skin texture
  • Beneficial for acne patients
  • Suitable for skin types and ethnicities

Can You Remove Pigmentation & Melasma?

Frequently Asked Questions

How Many Cosmelan Peel Treatments Will I Need?

One session of the Cosmelan Peel is generally enough to see results in the improvement of your skin with reduced unwanted pigmentation. If required, depending on the severity of your underlying pigmentation, further treatments can be recommended and administered on a 6-month basis in line with home maintenance. The peel can only be applied two times a year.

Do Cosmelan Peels Work?

The Cosmelan Peels have shown in peer reviewed scientific literature to be effective in treating pigmentation, melasma, dark spots and even residual acne scarring. It is imperative that the at-home skincare routine is adhered to strictly to achieve the best results and maintenance of your skin to attain that bright, clear and fresh glow.

How Long Does the Cosmelan Peel Treatment Take?

The in-clinic application of the Cosmelan Peel Sydney takes between 30-45 minutes. This is left on the skin for a required amount of time which is typically between 8-12 hours as instructed by your professional. The peel is then removed at home. It is important to make sure you plan accordingly to your appointment.

When will I see final results from my Cosmelan peel?

After the first week of your treatment, patients typically see blemishes in their skin begin to fade allowing for a brighter complexion and added glow to the skin.

One month after your Cosmelan Peel, you will begin to notice visible improvements to your hyperpigmentation, fading of most superficial dark sports, and overall improvement in skin tone.

Who is a candidate for a Cosmelan Peel Treatment?

The Cosmelan Peel is best suited for candidates who have hyperpigmentation and other skin tone concerns. It is suitable for all skin types, skin colours and ethnicities.

You should not get the Cosmelan Peel if you are pregnant, planning on getting pregnant or breastfeeding; have used Accutane in the last six months; have active rosacea; allergic to any component of Cosmelan; on antibiotics, or hydroquinone; have a skin infection; or recently received an IPL/laser treatment or a peel in the area of concern. In these cases, you may be required to postpone your appointment or be offered other treatment options.

Consulting with your professional about how the Cosmelan Peel can assist you to understand if this treatment is right for you.

Is there any downtime after the Cosmelan Peel?

The Cosmelan Peel requires up to 10-12 days of downtime. For the first 3-4 days, your skin will be red with a feeling of tightness and some irritability. After this, your skin will start to lightly flake and peel with a feeling of dryness. This can last up to 7-10 days. During this downtime, it is important to reduce sun exposure and wear sunscreen daily. Unless recommended or approved by your professional, avoid wearing makeup and other skin products that could irritate your skin during this time.
