WHAT IS A COSMELAN TREATMENT?
Cosmelan Depigmentation Treatment is a type of chemical peel. It is used to reduce unwanted pigmentation (brown spots) in the skin. The treatment consists of two different product applications: the first is a mask applied by our skin clinician, and the second is a cream applied by yourself at home. Cosmelan works by inhibiting melanin production. Melanin is responsible for the dark pigmentation seen on the skin. The body produces melanin as a response to UV exposure, but hormones, ageing and acne may also trigger it. Cosmelan can reduce melanin production and the discolouration it causes in the skin by inhibiting a specific type of enqyme (tyrosinase) that is directly involved in the production of melanin.
