Still not sure if Cosmelan® depigmenting treatment is right for you?

With cosmelan®, we treat all types of spots of melanic origin, meaning those spots caused by an overproduction of melanin triggered by various factors (hormonal, genetic, post-acne, post-hair removal, etc.) and which worsen due to sun exposure. Therefore, cosmelan® is effective in treating spots such as melasma, hyperpigmentation of the inflammatory origin (HPI), solar lentigines, age spots, and freckles.

If we don’t follow the at-home regimen, we are interrupting the treatment and therefore won’t obtain the expected results. Not applying Cosmelan 2, a depigmenting cream with a regulating action, leads to the melanocyte not being regulated and therefore to the continued excessive and uncontrolled production of melanin. The dark spot will reappear as the skin layers renew themselves, since the melanin migrates to the surface, making the spot increasingly visible.

Not using sun protection, such as Melan 130 Pigment Control, poses a very high risk of the spot reappearing, since during treatment the skin is more sensitive and receptive to external aggressors.

For at least the first three months of the treatment, it is not recommended to use any other type of minimally invasive treatment that could irritate the skin, such as peels, microneedling, exfoliation, etc., as this can even cause repigmentation. The use of soothing and regenerative treatments, both in the treatment room and at home, is recommended if necessary.

In the later months, we can combine the treatment with other therapies that help prolong the results, such as Melan Tran3x Concentrate and Melan Tran3x Gel-Cream.

Since it’s a non-invasive treatment, it won’t prevent you from carrying on with your normal life. You simply need to be extra careful when performing certain activities during the first few days, the skin’s adaptation period after the in-office treatment. For example, avoid swimming pools, prolonged exposure to heat sources, and activities that cause excessive sweating.

With appropriate professional treatment, it’s possible to visibly eliminate excess pigmentation. However, it’s a dynamic process, and the underlying imbalance that caused the spots can lead to their reappearance. Therefore, even if the spots are no longer visible, it’s essential to use a daily depigmenting treatment and year-round sun protection to prevent repigmentation.

If used correctly and under the supervision of a professional, no side effects should occur. Cosmelan® is a topical treatment and is therefore minimally invasive, allowing you to continue with your normal life. During the initial phase and after the in-office treatment, the skin may experience some irritation and redness, a completely normal and expected result that will disappear within a few days. During the at-home phase, it is normal to experience slight peeling and sensitivity, symptoms that will disappear with the application of home care products recommended by the specialist.

Cosmelan® is a depigmenting treatment and is therefore not indicated for treating active acne. For treating acne in its various phases on acne-prone and seborrheic skin, we recommend the medical treatment blemiderm®. However, acne has an inflammatory component that can lead to the appearance of skin blemishes known as HPI (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation). Cosmelan® is effective on these types of acne-related blemishes in all skin types and phototypes.

No. The Cosmelan® method is formulated and indicated exclusively for treating hyperpigmentation localized on the face.

For delicate areas such as the underarms and intimate zones, we offer a specialized alternative:
