Uneven skin tone, dark spots, and melasma can be challenging to treat—but Cosmelan® is here to transform your skin. As one of the most powerful depigmentation treatments available, Cosmelan is the gold standard for tackling hyperpigmentation, hormonal pigmentation (melasma), and post-inflammatory dark spots.
At The Lounge Aesthetics, we specialize in advanced skin solutions, and Cosmelan is one of our most effective treatments for achieving a clear, radiant complexion.
What Causes Hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation occurs when melanin (your skin’s pigment) is overproduced in certain areas, leading to dark spots and uneven skin tone. Common causes include:
- Sun damage – UV exposure triggers melanin production, leading to sun spots.
- Hormonal changes – Pregnancy, birth control, and menopause can cause melasma.
- Post-inflammatory pigmentation – Acne, eczema, and skin trauma can leave lingering dark marks.
- Genetics – Some people are more prone to pigmentation than others.
How Does Cosmelan Work?
Unlike traditional brightening creams or lasers, Cosmelan is a multi-phase depigmentation treatment that works by blocking the enzyme responsible for melanin production. This treatment:
- Reduces existing pigmentation and prevents new spots from forming.
- Balances oil production, making it great for acne-prone skin.
- Stimulates collagen, improving overall skin quality.
- Works on all skin types, including darker complexions.
What to Expect During a Cosmelan Treatment
While prevention is key, once spider veins develop, they won’t disappear on their own. That’s where our advanced Cutera Excel V+ laser treatment comes in. This non-invasive, gold-standard vascular laser effectively targets and eliminates visible veins with precision and minimal discomfort.
- In-Clinic Application – A potent Cosmelan mask is applied to the skin and left on for 6–12 hours (depending on skin type). This kickstarts the depigmentation process.
- At-Home Maintenance – After the mask is removed, you’ll follow a specific Cosmelan skincare protocol to enhance and maintain results.
Expect some peeling and redness in the first week as the skin sheds pigmentation. Full results can be seen in 4–6 weeks, revealing dramatically brighter and more even-toned skin.
At-Home Prevention for Hyperpigmentation
- Wear SPF every single day – Sun exposure can trigger melanin production, even on cloudy days.
- Use brightening serums – Ingredients like vitamin C and niacinamide help maintain an even skin tone.
- Avoid heat exposure – Saunas and excessive heat can stimulate pigmentation in some people.
- Be gentle with your skin – Harsh scrubs and aggressive treatments can lead to post-inflammatory pigmentation.
