Dermamelan and Cosmelan

What is Cosmelan and Dermamelan Spot Treatment?

Cosmelan and Dermamelan are professional skincare treatments designed to address uneven skin tone and pigmentation issues. These treatments help reduce dark spots, sun damage, melasma, and other forms of hyperpigmentation by regulating melanin production. The treatment consists of applying a mask (peel) that exfoliates the skin and decreases melanin production.

What is the Difference Between Cosmelan and Dermamelan?

While Cosmelan is used for milder pigmentation problems, Dermamelan is intended for more severe pigmentation issues. Both procedures are essentially the same, as they follow similar applications, but the intensity of the treatment varies based on the condition.

How Long Does the Procedure Take?

In Cosmelan treatment, the initial mask is applied and left on the skin for 8-12 hours, after which it is removed with water. After the procedure, it is normal to experience skin sensitivity and redness, which usually subsides within 2-3 days. In the second phase of treatment, follow-up creams are applied for 1-1.5 years.

When Does it Start Working, and Is it Permanent?

The effects of Cosmelan (Dermamelan) treatment can be seen within the first week after the procedure. The results vary depending on the individual and the area being treated. Dark spots typically begin to fade within 2-3 weeks, revealing a brighter complexion. Complete removal of dark spots can take 1-1.5 months. For individuals with darker skin tones, the process of clearing the spots may take longer.

Hormonal changes, especially during pregnancy, can increase skin sensitivity to the sun, leading to spot formation. These spots may darken even further after childbirth.
