What are Cosmelan Depigmentation Peels?
The Cosmelan® method is a distinct blend of proven, active ingredients that offer immediate and long-lasting benefits. A typical chemical peel targets the skin’s surface chemically and removes the top layers to help with rejuvenation due to the high concentrations of exfoliating acids to brighten the complexion, even out skin tone, and enhance the appearance of spots and wrinkles.
In contrast, the Cosmelan® peel achieves visible results by reducing and softening spots similarly to a peel, but more importantly, it regulates and corrects pigment overproduction, preventing future occurrences. Traditional peels are known to address only the superficial aspects, whereas the Cosmelan® treatment tackles the root cause of the issue.
The complete Cosmelan® programme includes an intense in-clinic treatment, which is then supported by an at-home skincare regime.

Results
Dark spots typically start fading away within one to two weeks. In three to four weeks, your skin should appear cleaner, brighter, and healthier.
Recovery Time
Requires 5-7 days of downtime.
After the treatment, your skin may be red, swollen, and warm for the first 3 days, followed by peeling and dryness that can last up to 5-7 days.
Unlike more aggressive peels, Cosmelan typically involves minimal downtime, with most patients experiencing mild redness and peeling that resolves within a week.
Treatable Areas
Cosmelan can be used anywhere (neck, décolletage, body and back of the hands), but the face is the most popular.

Key Benefits of Cosmelan
- Significant reduction in all types of pigmentation, including melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, age spots, and freckles.
- Evens and balances skin tone for a more radiant complexion.
- Inhibits the formation of melanin, helping to prevent future pigmentation.
- A powerful solution for stubborn pigmentation that doesn’t respond to other treatments.
- Promotes skin rejuvenation and anti-aging by increasing collagen production.
What does the Perth Cosmelan Treatment involve?
4 weeks prior to the treatment being done it is recommended that prep is completed, simply implementing a 10% Glycolic Acid into your skin regime is all that is recommended.
- The Cosmelan depigmentation treatment is a two-phase process designed to address various forms of hyperpigmentation.
Phase one begins with the application of a powerful depigmenting mask at an Absolute Cosmetic clinic. The mask is left on for 8-10 hours to penetrate the skin and target excess melanin.
Phase two transitions to an at-home maintenance regimen with specialised creams, applied twice daily, to enhance and prolong the results achieved in the clinic.
How long will it take to see results from Cosmelan?
In the initial weeks after your treatment, you should notice a significant improvement in your skin’s texture and tone. However, it is important to understand that this is just the first step.
While the surface pigmentation has faded, the underlying melanocyte cells that produce pigment are still overactive. You must continue your at-home treatment to achieve lasting results and prevent the pigmentation from returning. Skipping or neglecting this important step can interrupt the process and hinder your results.
