The leading depigmentation treatment

What is hyperpigmentation and do I suffer from it?

Hyperpigmentation is a very common skin disorder. It presents itself in brown patches, commonly found on the hands and face. In some cases it is referred to as: Melasma.

What causes hyperpigmentation?

Your skin tone is defined by the melanin in your skin. Darker skins have higher amounts of melanin, and lighter skins, have lower amounts of melanin. Often, Melasma occurs when there is an increased melanin production. This creates a darker skin tone in some areas, leaving the skin blotchy and uneven. Causes of skin pigmentation can range from genetic predisposition - aggravated by high exposure to strong sunlight, to hormonal changes - such a pregnancy, menopause or taking oral contraceptives.

How does Cosmelan® help?

Cosmelan® acts by blocking the melanin-producing enzyme (Tyrosinase), therefore reducing the production of melasma.

The Cosmelan® Procedure:

The Cosmelan® treatment consists of 2 phases:
Phase 1: is the application of the Cosmelan® mask, which is administered by an aesthetic practitioner. The patient is then sent home with instructions to wash the mask off after 8 – 12 hours. The mask will gently peel away the top layer of pigment.
Phase 2: involves homecare and maintenance for the next 3 months.
