Reduce the appearance of pigmentation by up to 95%
At Aesthetic Med Clinic, we offer the renowned Cosmelan® method, a professional depigmentation treatment designed to target and visibly reduce skin discoloration caused by excess melanin production.
Various factors contribute to these pigment concerns, including genetics, ethnicity, hormonal changes (such as pregnancy, menopause, and contraceptive use), and environmental exposure—especially sun damage, which can trigger new or recurring pigmentation.
Backed by clinical research and medical supervision, Cosmelan® has successfully treated over one million patients worldwide across all skin types (Fitzpatrick I-VI) and ethnicities.

How It Works
Cosmelan® is designed to address hyperpigmentation at every stage, delivering both immediate and lasting results through its dual-action approach: corrective and preventative.
Formulated with a powerful blend of active ingredients, it not only reduces the appearance of existing pigmentation but also strengthens the skin’s natural defense mechanisms to help minimize the risk of future discoloration.
What to Expect
During the treatment, the skin will be prepared with an oil-removing solution to ensure even penetration of the peel. A tingling sensation and a strong odor are expected.
The thick, clay-colored Cosmelan® mask will then be applied and must remain on at home for 8 to 12 hours, depending on your Fitzpatrick skin type and overall skin condition. While wearing the mask, it is essential to keep it moist (not wet) using a non-active water mist to prevent it from drying out. This mist can be purchased at most pharmacies.
After the recommended duration, the mask should be gently and thoroughly removed at home using room temperature water and Fibrella wipes, which will be provided by the clinic. Once the mask is removed, a small amount of Melan Recovery should be applied and allowed to fully absorb before bedtime.
Following mask removal, moderate redness (erythema) and a sensation of heat are expected.

Before starting your Cosmelan® journey, a complimentary skin consultation with one of our trained dermal technicians is required to assess your skin and determine if this treatment is suitable for you.
