What Does Cosmelan Treat?

Cosmelan is one of the most effective treatments available for stubborn pigmentation issues and uneven skin tone. It is especially useful for:

Melasma (hormonal pigmentation)
Sun-induced dark spots
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
Blotchy, discolored skin
Pigmentation after laser or chemical peels

Whether your discoloration was triggered by sun exposure, pregnancy, birth control, or skin trauma, Cosmelan helps reset your skin for a fresher, more even complexion.

How Cosmelan Works

Cosmelan is a topical depigmentation system that reduces the body’s melanin production by inhibiting tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for skin pigmentation. Unlike over-the-counter treatments that only treat the surface, Cosmelan targets the root cause of discoloration deep within the skin.

This dual-approach treatment includes both an in-office mask application and an at-home maintenance regimen, ensuring lasting results and reduced risk of recurrence.

Key Benefits of Cosmelan

Rapid improvement in dark spots and pigmentation
Effective on all skin types and tones
Safe for year-round treatment
Improves texture with light peeling and skin renewal
Cost-effective alternative to laser treatments with longer-lasting results

What to Expect During Treatment

Step 1: In-Office Mask Application

Your treatment begins in our Tampa office with a full skin evaluation and prep. A Cosmelan mask will be applied by one of our licensed medical estheticians. This customized mask remains on your skin for several hours (usually 6–12 hours depending on your skin type), after which you’ll rinse it off at home.

Step 2: At-Home Maintenance

You’ll be sent home with a post-procedure kit that includes Cosmelan 2 cream, a key part of the maintenance phase. This cream helps regulate ongoing pigment production and ensures longer-lasting, clearer skin.

Recovery and Results

Some peeling, flaking, and redness are common during the first week — similar to a mild sunburn. This is a sign that your skin is shedding pigmented cells and regenerating.

Most patients begin to see visible improvement in skin tone and clarity within 7 to 10 days, with continued brightening and smoothing over the following weeks. To maintain results, proper sun protection and adherence to your at-home regimen are essential.
