Cosmelan Peel
For melasma and pigmentation
A two-part depigmentation treatment for the face and neck: a mask at the studio, then a night cream at home, for melasma and stubborn dark patches.
Options
- Cosmelan 1, at the studio
- Cosmelan 2, at home
Cosmelan is one full treatment: Cosmelan 1, the mask applied at the studio, and Cosmelan 2, the night cream you take home.
Your final price is confirmed at your consultation.
Coming for a course?
How many sessions you need depends on your skin and your goals, so packages are put together at your consultation.
Who it's for
- Your pigment hasn't responded to creams
- You can stay out of the sun for a while
- You can commit to the home cream and sunscreen
How it works
Cosmelan works on the enzyme that makes pigment, so it lightens existing patches and slows new ones. The mask is applied at the studio and washed off at home at the time you're given. The night cream then continues the work for months, as Dr. Poonam directs.

What's the difference between Cosmelan 1 and Cosmelan 2?
Cosmelan 1 is the mask applied at the studio. Cosmelan 2 is the night cream you use at home to continue the treatment.
Does Cosmelan cure melasma?
Melasma can be controlled but not cured. Sun and hormones can bring it back, so sunscreen and maintenance matter.
Can I go to work after Cosmelan?
Most people prefer a few quiet days, because the skin is red and peels for about a week.
How long does a session of Cosmelan Peel take?
Usually about 30 to 45 minutes in the studio, then the mask stays on for some hours at home. Warmth or tingling.
Is there any downtime after Cosmelan Peel?
Redness and peeling for 5 to 7 days. Your post-care notes cover exactly what to avoid, and for how long.
