Pigmentation - Cosmelan

Treatment overview

Cosmelan® is a professional depigmentation programme used for selected forms of facial hyperpigmentation. Assessment is needed to distinguish melasma, post-inflammatory pigmentation and other causes because management and risk of recurrence differ.

The programme involves clinic treatment and a prescribed home-care phase. Consistent sun protection, temporary irritation and the importance of following the product schedule are discussed before starting.

Pigmentation concerns assessed

Cosmelan may be considered for selected concerns including melasma, sun spots, post-acne pigmentation and uneven skin tone. A consultation is still required because pigmentation can have different causes and may respond differently to treatment.
