Cosmelan Depigmentation Peel

We’re excited to offer the Mesoestetic® Cosmelan peel, a skin treatment that has been proven to deliver some of the most significant pigment reduction available through a topical procedure.

The Cosmelan peel is one of the most effective peels for sun damage and discoloration. Made of a mixture of highly effective ingredients, this peel exfoliates pigmentation, very effectively without the use of any heat or energy.

What Can the Cosmelan Peel Treat?

  • Sun damage and discoloration like freckles and sunspots

  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation

  • Melasma

  • Uneven skin tone

  • Acne and brown pigmentation from old acne

  • Enlarged pores

  • Dull skin

How Does it Work?

The peel works via two different mechanisms.  First, the peel itself causes a true “peel” of the skin – exfoliating pigment and old skin cells. Then aggressive topical brighteners are applied continually for the following weeks to turn down the pigment production in the skin. A second touch-up peel is typically applied about 6 weeks after the first to further improve pigmentation.

What to Expect from Recovery and Results.

After your Cosmelan peel, you’ll have some redness, swelling, peeling, and slight irritation (like a sunburn) for about one to two weeks.

This is all completely normal, and part of the recovery process. You will need to refrain from wearing makeup for 7-10 days following treatment.

After two weeks, your skin will have shed the sun damage, discoloration, and will typically stop “peeling”. Maximum results are visible at about 2-3 weeks, which is why the touchup peel is then done at 3 weeks after the first.  Strict adherence to the prescribed skincare treatment throughout is crucial to obtain good results.
