The Cosmelan Depigmentation Peel is effective in treating all types of pigmentation. This includes hormone-induced pigmentation like melasma and chloasma and superficial pigmentation such as sun-damaged skin, freckles, and dark spots exacerbated by sun exposure.
Cosmelan® Peel is a world-leading chemical peel treatment designed to tackle hyperpigmentation and discolouration. This multi-ingredient chemical peel works by targeting the melanin overproduction in the skin, which is often the root cause of hyperpigmentation. The peel process involves a depigmentation prep kit, used for a minimum of two weeks, followed by an in-clinic soft peel and the actual Cosmelan Peel. The unique formulation of Cosmelan® Peel, which excludes hydroquinone, incorporates potent ingredients like Azelaic acid and Kojic acid. These naturally derived components work synergistically to reduce dark spots and unify skin tone, enhancing overall skin luminosity.

The Cosmelan peel is a unique and multi-ingredient chemical peel designed especially for hyperpigmentation and discolouration of the skin. This is caused by the following:
Cosmelan® Depigmentation Peel effectively treats all types of hyperpigmentation, often caused by melanin overproduction due to hormonal, genetic, post-acne, and post-depilation factors. Sun exposure can further darken these hyperpigmented areas. Unlike some dermal peels, Cosmelan is suitable for all skin types and ages. It is distinguished by its proven efficacy in medical studies and its formulation, which excludes hydroquinone. Instead, it incorporates multiple pigment-resolving ingredients like Azelaic acid and Kojic acid, both naturally derived, to maximise its effectiveness.

Your journey with Cosmelan® Peel at Derma Revive Skin Clinic begins with a detailed consultation and skin assessment. Our experts will evaluate your skin type, discuss your concerns, and determine the suitability of the Cosmelan® Peel for your specific needs. This initial step is crucial in tailoring the treatment to achieve optimal results.
The Cosmelan® Peel procedure is a multi-step process. It starts with applying a depigmentation prep kit for at least two weeks. This is followed by an in-clinic soft peel, performed 48 hours before the Cosmelan treatment. The actual Cosmelan Peel is then applied in-clinic, marking the beginning of the transformation journey of your skin.
Post-treatment, expect a period of skin renewal, typically involving peeling, redness, and soreness lasting 2-4 weeks. Our team will provide you with a strict homecare regimen to follow for 12 months, ensuring the longevity of your results and the health of your rejuvenated skin.
Cosmelan® Peel is suitable for a wide range of skin types and ages. It is specifically effective for those experiencing hyperpigmentation due to hormonal, genetic, post-acne, and sun exposure factors.
While Cosmelan® Peel is generally safe, some clients may experience temporary side effects such as skin peeling, redness, and soreness during the recovery phase. These are normal signs of the skin renewal process.
We recommend a personalised consultation at Derma Revive Skin Clinic to assess your suitability for Cosmelan® Peel and to customise the treatment for your unique skin needs.
Cosmelan® Peel stands out from other depigmentation treatments due to its unique formulation and proven efficacy. Unlike some treatments that may use hydroquinone, Cosmelan® Peel incorporates a blend of naturally derived ingredients like Azelaic acid and Kojic acid. This not only ensures effective melanin reduction but also enhances skin luminosity and tone. The comprehensive approach of Cosmelan®, including pre-treatment preparation and a year-long aftercare regimen, offers a more thorough and lasting solution to hyperpigmentation compared to other treatments.
To ascertain suitability for a Cosmelan Peel, a complimentary consultation is advised. During this consultation, your skin type is assessed, and details about the treatment are discussed, including optimal timing considerations. For instance, if you plan a sun holiday, waiting until after your return for the Cosmelan Peel treatment is recommended.
The Cosmelan treatment involves a pre-peel, followed by the main Cosmelan treatment peel, and a subsequent home care regimen. Post-treatment, common experiences include peeling, redness, and tenderness of the skin. This phase typically lasts between 2 to 4 weeks as the skin sheds and eliminates pigmented cells.
The duration of results from a Cosmelan treatment can be prolonged with proper care, especially for sun-damage pigmentation, by protecting the skin from sunlight. However, pigmentation with a hormonal component, like melasma, may recur. Continual use of a daily regulatory depigmentation treatment and photoprotection throughout the year is recommended to prevent repigmentation.
