Cosmelan Peel
Cosmelan peel is a professional-grade depigmentation treatment that effectively addresses hyperpigmentation, melasma, and other skin discolorations by inhibiting melanin production, leading to a more even and radiant complexion.
Experience the Cosmelan Peel, a sophisticated depigmentation solution meticulously crafted to unveil your skin’s true radiance.
This incredible treatment goes beyond conventional skincare, targeting stubborn pigmentation concerns like melasma, hyperpigmentation, freckles, and sun damage with unparalleled precision.
How Cosmelan Peel works:
The Cosmelan Peel works through a multi-step process to effectively target and treat pigmentation issues, providing a comprehensive solution for a more even and radiant complexion. In the initial phase, the Cosmelan mask is applied to the skin your treating nurse, at The Face & Body Clinic. This mask contains a potent combination of depigmenting agents, such as kojic acid, along with exfoliating agents and melanin-inhibiting compounds. These active ingredients work in harmony to penetrate the skin, breaking down existing melanin deposits responsible for pigmentation irregularities and suppressing the activity of melanocytes to prevent further hyperpigmentation. This intensive treatment kickstarts the depigmentation process, setting the stage for a transformative journey towards a more even and radiant complexion.
Following the in-office application, the second phase involves an at-home maintenance routine. Patients are provided with specialised products, including a melanin-inhibiting cream, to continue the depigmentation process and support long-term results. Over the next few days, controlled peeling occurs as the skin sheds its outer layer, effectively eliminating pigmented cells and revealing fresh, rejuvenated skin. The Cosmelan Peel’s comprehensive approach ensures a gradual and sustained reduction in the appearance of dark spots, melasma, and other forms of hyperpigmentation, ultimately leading to a more uniform skin tone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Cosmelan?
A: Cosmelan is a professional-grade depigmentation treatment designed to address various forms of hyperpigmentation, including melasma, sunspots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from acne, burns or scars.
Q: Can Cosmelan only be applied to the face?
A: While Cosmelan is most commonly used on the face, it can also be safely applied to other areas where pigmentation is a concern, such as the neck, décolletage, and hands. Our nurse will assess your individual needs during your consultation and tailor the treatment to the areas that will give you the best, most even results.
Q: How does Cosmelan work?
A: Cosmelan works through a two-phase process to reduce pigmentation and give you a more even complexion. First, we apply a professional depigmenting mask in-clinic. Then, you continue an at-home maintenance routine that helps prevent new pigmentation from forming.
We guide you every step of the way — you’re never on your own. During week 1, we’ll check in via text to see how you’re feeling and answer any questions. You’ll also attend your first follow-up appointment between day 7 and 10, followed by additional follow-ups at days 21–30, day 60, and day 90.
All follow-up treatments are included in your treatment fee and may include LED therapy and rebalancing facials as needed. Our goal is to make sure your skin responds safely and effectively while keeping you supported throughout the process.
Q: What skin concerns does Cosmelan target?
A: Cosmelan is effective in addressing hyperpigmentation issues such as melasma, sunspots, freckles and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, providing noticeable improvements in skin tone and texture.
Q: Is Cosmelan suitable for all skin types?
A:At The Face & Body Clinic Williamstown, every Cosmelan treatment is customised to your unique skin type. While most skin types respond well, individual suitability can vary. We’ll go through this in detail during your consultation to ensure the treatment is safe, effective, and tailored specifically for you.
Q: Is Cosmelan a chemical peel?
A: While Cosmelan does involve some exfoliation, it’s not a traditional chemical peel. Cosmelan is a specialised depigmentation treatment designed specifically to target pigmentation irregularities and even out skin tone.
Q: Is there downtime after a Cosmelan treatment?
A:Yes — it’s normal to experience some redness and peeling for 3–10 days as your skin goes through the controlled peeling phase. Don’t worry, this is expected and part of how Cosmelan works to give you an even, radiant complexion.
We’ll go over your complete peeling and healing timeline during your consultation, so you’ll know exactly what to expect and how to care for your skin every step of the way.
Q: When will I see results after Cosmelan?
A:Many clients notice initial improvements within the first 21 days, as your skin begins to brighten and even out. Your skin will continue to regenerate over the following weeks, with full results usually visible around 3 months.
We’ll be checking in and supporting you throughout the process to make sure your skin is responding safely and effectively, so you’re never wondering what’s happening behind the scenes.
Q: How long do the results of Cosmelan last?
A:With consistent at-home maintenance and diligent sun protection, the brightening and evenness achieved with Cosmelan can be long-lasting. Results do vary from person to person, but following your personalised routine helps you enjoy your glow for months — even years — after treatment.
Q: Can Cosmelan Peel be done in summer?
A: Yes! Cosmelan is safe to use year-round, including in summer. The key is consistent sun protection, which is included in your Cosmelan 2 Home Kit. With the right care, you can safely treat pigmentation at any time of the year and still achieve beautiful, long-lasting results.

A: At The Face & Body Clinic Williamstown, we’ve been performing Cosmelan treatments for over 8 years. Over that time, we’ve refined our protocol to achieve the best, most consistent results for our clients.
