Cosmelan Elite is our comprehensive six-month programme for the correction and long-term management of pigmentation, including melasma, sun-induced pigmentation, post-inflammatory pigmentation and uneven skin tone.

Rather than approaching pigmentation with a single treatment, Cosmelan Elite follows a structured clinical process designed to support the skin before, during and after the professional depigmentation treatment. Your programme includes a personalised skin preparation phase, the in-clinic Cosmelan treatment, a comprehensive prescribed skincare regime, recovery support, clinical imaging, scheduled reviews and ongoing monitoring throughout the six months.

Cosmelan starts with pigment correction and reduction, before moving into targeting the processes involved in excess melanin production, helping to regulate pigmentation while improving overall skin tone, clarity and skin quality.

Because pigmentation can be influenced by UV exposure, hormones, heat, inflammation and genetics, our approach goes beyond simply correcting what is visible on the surface. We focus on understanding how your pigmentation behaves, monitoring how your skin responds and creating a long-term strategy to help maintain your results.

TYPES OF PIGMENTATION

  • Melasma

    A complex form of pigmentation that commonly presents as symmetrical brown or grey-brown patches across the face. It is strongly influenced by hormones, UV exposure, heat and genetics.

  • Post Inflammatory (PIH)

    PIH develops when inflammation or injury triggers excess melanin production, leaving areas of discolouration after the skin has healed. It commonly appears post-acne leisons.

  • Hyperpigmentation

    A broad term used to describe areas of skin that become darker due to increased melanin production. It can develop following inflammation, injury, hormonal changes or UV exposure and may occur at different depths within the skin.

  • Solar Lentigos

    Often referred to as age spots, solar lentigines are well-defined areas of pigmentation caused by cumulative UV exposure.

  • UV/Sun Damage

    Repeated UV exposure can cause irregular pigment production within the skin, often before changes become obvious on the surface.

  • Freckles

    Freckles are small, flat areas of increased pigmentation strongly influenced by genetics and UV exposure.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is Cosmelan Elite?

Cosmelan Elite is our comprehensive six-month pigmentation programme. It combines skin preparation, the professional Cosmelan depigmentation treatment, prescribed homecare, recovery support, clinical imaging and scheduled reviews to correct and manage pigmentation over time.
What types of pigmentation can Cosmelan treat?

Cosmelan may be suitable for melasma, sun-induced pigmentation, solar lentigines, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and uneven skin tone. Your pigmentation type, depth and contributing factors are assessed before treatment to determine suitability.
How does Cosmelan work?

Cosmelan uses a combination of depigmenting ingredients to target multiple pathways involved in excess melanin production. The professional treatment begins the corrective process, while the prescribed homecare continues to support pigment regulation throughout the programme.
What does the six-month Cosmelan Elite Programme include?

Your programme includes a clinical skin assessment and imaging, personalised preparation phase, Melanostop preparation peel in-clinic, professional Cosmelan application, comprehensive prescribed homecare (7 skincare products), two LED recovery treatments, scheduled clinical reviews and ongoing professional skin support for six months.
What downtime should I expect?

Redness, tightness, sensitivity, dryness, flaking and peeling are expected following treatment. The intensity varies between clients, with the most noticeable recovery generally occurring within the initial days following application. Your skin will be monitored throughout recovery.
When will I see results?

Improvements in pigmentation, clarity and overall skin tone may begin to become noticeable within the first few weeks, with results continuing to develop throughout the six-month programme. Your pigmentation type, depth, triggers and adherence to homecare can all influence your individual response
Can pigmentation return after Cosmelan?

Yes. Pigmentation—particularly melasma—can reactivate because the factors that stimulate pigment production may still exist. UV exposure, heat, hormones and inflammation can all influence pigment behaviour, which is why ongoing protection and long-term management remain important even after significant correction.
Why do I need a consultation before Cosmelan?

Because not all pigmentation behaves the same. Before recommending Cosmelan, we assess what type of pigmentation you have, where it is sitting, what may be driving it and how it behaves. This allows us to determine whether Cosmelan is appropriate and create a programme specifically for your skin.
CAN I RECEIVE TREATMENT IF PREGNANT OR BREASTFEEDING?

Yes, LED light therapy is generally considered safe for pregnant and breastfeeding women. It is a non-invasive, gentle treatment that does not use UV rays or harmful chemicals. However, it is always recommended to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new treatment during pregnancy or breastfeeding to ensure it is appropriate for your specific situation.
