Pigmentation spots (melasma, sun spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, age-related spots…) are often difficult to treat long-term. The Cosmelan method doesn't just fade visible spots: it acts directly on the cause, by regulating the overproduction of melanin by melanocytes. This achieves a rapid reduction of existing spots, as well as effective prevention of their recurrence. The treatment lasts around 6 months and combines professional care at the institute with a rigorous at-home routine, with a monthly check-in to assess the skin's progress and adjust the routine.

How it works

Phase 1 — In-salon

Application of an intensive depigmenting mask, left on for several hours depending on the skin, to eliminate melanin deposits and stimulate cell renewal.
