Cosmelan Pigmentation Treatment

Cosmelan is a professional depigmentation programme used to help reduce stubborn facial pigmentation such as melasma, sun spots and post-inflammatory marks. It starts with an in-clinic mask and continues with a structured home-care phase over the following weeks. At Gabinety Tuwima it is suited to patients with uneven tone or persistent dark patches who want a guided, intensive approach to brightening.

Cosmelan is a two-phase professional depigmentation programme designed to address visible facial pigmentation, including melasma, sun-induced spots and post-inflammatory marks. The first phase is an in-clinic mask applied to the skin and left on for a set period before being removed at home as directed; the second phase is a structured home-care routine, using maintenance products over the following weeks and months, that is central to the result. At Gabinety Tuwima the programme begins with an assessment of your skin and the type of pigmentation, after which the mask is applied and detailed instructions are given. In the days after the mask it is normal for the skin to look flushed and then to peel and flake as it renews; careful moisturising and strict sun protection are essential throughout, as continued sun exposure is strongly associated with pigmentation returning. Pigmentation is complex and can recur, so realistic expectations and ongoing maintenance are discussed from the outset. Cosmelan is suited to adults with uneven tone or persistent dark patches who are willing to follow the home-care phase closely and commit to daily SPF. Suitability — particularly for melasma, which can be unpredictable — and any contraindications are reviewed at consultation, and it is avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding.
