Depigmentation Therapy (Cosmelan / Dermamelan)

A professional depigmentation programme using Cosmelan or Dermamelan to reduce stubborn pigmentation such as melasma, sun-induced dark patches and post-inflammatory marks. An in-clinic mask is applied and followed by a structured home-care routine that gradually evens out skin tone. It suits patients whose main concern is persistent discolouration, and is planned carefully at consultation because pigmentation needs an individualised approach.

Depigmentation therapy with Cosmelan or Dermamelan is a professional programme designed to address stubborn, diffuse pigmentation that is difficult to treat with everyday skincare — including melasma, sun-related dark patches and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The treatment is associated with reducing the appearance of excess pigment and evening out overall skin tone by acting on the processes that drive pigment production in the skin. At Dr Skibicka's clinic the programme begins with an in-clinic application of the depigmenting mask, which you then remove at home after a prescribed number of hours according to the doctor's instructions. This is followed by a structured home-care maintenance phase using prescribed products over the following weeks and months, which is essential to the result. In the days after the mask you can expect some redness, tightness and flaking as the skin renews, and rigorous daily sun protection is critical throughout — both to protect the renewing skin and because sun exposure is one of the main triggers of pigmentation returning. Because melasma in particular is a chronic, recurrence-prone condition, realistic expectations and ongoing maintenance are discussed at consultation, and the doctor assesses your skin type, the type and depth of pigmentation and your history before recommending the programme. It is avoided during pregnancy and over active skin conditions.
