What is Cosmo Peel Treatment?
Cosmelan® is a medical-grade depigmentation treatment developed by Mesoestetic® (Spain). It is globally recognized for correcting and regulating hyperpigmentation of all kinds — especially melasma, sun spots, and post-acne pigmentation — by inhibiting melanin production at the source.
It combines an in-clinic mask (Cosmelan 1) with a home-care program (Cosmelan 2) to provide long-term control of pigmentation.
Unlike peels that only remove surface pigment, Cosmelan works inside the melanocyte to inhibit tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin (pigment) production.
How the Cosmelan® System Works:
- Step 1: In-Clinic Application
Cosmelan 1 Mask applied under medical supervision
Left on skin for 6–12 hours, depending on skin type and pigmentation severity
Begins the intensive depigmentation process - Step 2: Home-Care Maintenance
Cosmelan 2 Cream, along with support products (moisturizer, sunscreen, repair balm)
Continues to regulate melanin production
Prevents recurrence and maintains results
