What is Cosmelan®?
How Does It Work?
Cosmelan® is a professional skin treatment created to improve the visible uneven tone. The system is applied in two phases—initial in-clinic application by a qualified professional, followed by professionally guided at-home care. The series of steps is intended to enhance skin brightness under supervision.
The Cosmelan treatment typically involves two phases:
- Intense clinic depigmentation treatment: Our doctors assess your skin type, detailed skin analysis, and then apply a depigmenting agent to the skin containing active ingredients to reduce the appearance of uneven pigmentation.
- Continued depigmentation, regulation and prevention: The treatment is carried on with at-home skincare under professional guidance to further enhance the brightness of the skin and support the in-clinic treatment applied.
The exact Cosmelan® prescription is customised by our doctors, who will advise you when to apply and how often. It’s important to follow the prescribed protocol – using sun protection during and after treatment, as increased sensitivity to sunlight is common.
Why might some areas of skin appear darker?
What are safe, non-invasive ways to help even skin tone?
Other factors can contribute to or cause localised hyperpigmentation:
- certain diseases and conditions
- exposure to heavy metals and certain medications, some of which may induce photosensitivity
- sun exposure
Habits and behaviours also play a significant role:
- Pigmentation responses may occur after certain hair removal
- Friction from tight clothing
- Some medications or sun exposure can contribute to darker patches.
It’s important to note that certain skin types, particularly darker phototypes, are more predisposed to this type of pigmentation. These changes are natural, and treatments are available to support a more balanced appearance.
The field of aesthetic gynaecology, dedicated to the health and well-being, has identified numerous factors contributing to the darkening of skin in specific areas.
A primary factor is hormonal changes, particularly fluctuations in oestrogen levels and hormonal changes during pregnancy or menopause.
Events like pregnancy, postpartum periods, contraceptive use, and menopause are key contributors to these changes, affecting not just pigmentation but also other aesthetic and functional aspects.
Dermamelan Treatment for Even Skin Tone
Old wives’ tales and traditional remedies are not advisable – especially for the sensitive vaginal epithelium – as they can often make things worse.
Our approach is grounded in research and innovation, advocating for professional medical-aesthetic treatments as the most effective solution.
Dermamelan® is an aesthetic at-home skincare regimen intended to support a more even skin tone in sensitive areas. Offering a professional-level formulation, it may be preferred by clients seeking a convenient alternative to in-clinic treatments. For ongoing care, we also offer hydrating and rejuvenating protocols such as mesofiller® sensitivity.
