Your treatment journey

Cosmelan® is performed in phases. It begins with a single in-clinic depigmenting mask treatment, followed by a guided at-home programme using complementary products according to your therapist’s recommendations and your skin’s progress over time.

1
Consultation & assessment

Your skin is assessed to confirm the type of pigmentation and whether Cosmelan® is appropriate for you.

2
In-clinic mask treatment

A therapist applies the intensive depigmenting mask during a single clinic session.

3
Structured home-care phase

You continue treatment at home using the prescribed supportive products exactly as directed.

4
Ongoing pigment control

The programme continues to work on pigment regulation to help reduce the chance of recurrence.

What to expect

Cosmelan® is presented as a longer treatment process that typically unfolds over approximately 6 months. The aim is not only visible improvement in dark patches, but also a more even, clearer, and more radiant-looking complexion over time.
