Cosmelan

Is NOW the time to target your stubborn Pigmentation?

From $1699

Pigmentation including melasma, sun spots, age-spots and uneven skin tone can be incredibly persistent. These darkened patches often resist over-the-counter treatments and can deepen over time without effective intervention.

Even, radiant skin is within reach

Imagine looking in the mirror and seeing a clearer, more even-toned complexion staring back. Cosmelan is a powerful, professional-grade treatment that can dramatically reduce pigmentation while boosting skin luminosity and confidence.

What Does Cosmelan Treat?

Cosmelan treats:
• Melasma (hormonal pigmentation)
• Sunspots and age spots
• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
• Dark patches and uneven skin tone
• Skin discolouration caused by acne or inflammation
• Pigmentation from sun exposure or environmental damage
• Dull or uneven complexion
• Surface-level and deeper pigmentation concerns

Cosmelan is suitable for all skin types and tones, offering a comprehensive approach to achieving clearer, more balanced skin.

Is Cosmelan Right for You?

If you’re struggling with melasma, sunspots, or stubborn pigmentation that hasn’t responded to other treatments, Cosmelan may be the solution. It’s suitable for most skin types and tones, but not recommended for compromised or highly sensitive skin. A thorough skin consultation with our team will determine if Cosmelan is safe and effective for your specific concerns.

How Does Cosmelan Work?

Cosmelan is a two-phase depigmentation system designed to reduce melanin production at the source, targeting the root cause of pigmentation. The in-clinic application is followed by an at-home protocol to continue and maintain results over time. This treatment is suitable for all skin types and tones, and is especially effective in treating melasma, sun damage, and uneven skin tone. Our team of Registered Nurses and Dermal Clinicians at Upper Skin Clinic guide you through each step of the process to ensure safe, effective results tailored to your unique skin needs.

Benefits Of Cosmelan:

Cosmelan is a powerful depigmentation treatment designed to target stubborn pigmentation concerns such as melasma, sun damage, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It helps regulate melanin production at the source, reducing the appearance of dark spots and creating a more even, radiant complexion. This professional-grade treatment also improves skin texture, boosts radiance, and enhances overall skin clarity with minimal downtime.

What Results Can I Expect?

You can expect a visible reduction in pigmentation, smoother skin texture, and a more even skin tone. Most clients notice improvement within the first few weeks, with optimal results appearing over 4 to 8 weeks post-treatment. Your skin will continue to improve with proper aftercare and sun protection. Consistency and professional guidance are key to long-lasting results.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

Cosmelan is a single-application, in-clinic treatment followed by a guided at-home maintenance program. While one session is typically sufficient for significant improvement, some clients may benefit from a second treatment depending on the severity of their pigmentation. Your clinician will assess your skin and provide a personalised treatment plan.

Protocol & Treatment Care

Pre-Treatment Advice

To prepare your skin and ensure optimal results:

• Avoid any exfoliating treatments or active skincare (retinols, AHAs, BHAs) for 5–7 days before your appointment.

• Discontinue use of any harsh or irritating products.

• Ensure your skin is not sunburnt, compromised, or undergoing a flare-up.

• Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning beds for at least 2 weeks before treatment.

• If you’re prone to cold sores, let us know in advance, antiviral medication may be recommended.

• Commence Cosmelan Homecare as prescribed during your complimentary consultation.

Post Treatment Care

After your in-clinic Cosmelan application, your skin will be going through a visible transformation. Here’s how to care for it:

• Leave the mask on for the number of hours specified by your dermal clinician, then gently cleanse and begin the homecare protocol as instructed.

• Expect redness, tightness, minor plumping and peeling for the first 7–10 days, this is a normal part of the resurfacing process.

• Strictly avoid sun exposure during this time and use a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ daily.

• Follow the prescribed Cosmelan homecare routine to maintain results and support skin recovery.

• Avoid active products (e.g., retinol, acids, scrubs) and refrain from picking or pulling at flaking skin.

• Book and attend your follow-up appointments to monitor progress and adjust your skincare plan.

• Commence Cosmelan Homecare as prescribed during your complimentary consultation.
