Cosmelan Peel
As the world’s leading professional depigmentation treatment, the cosmelan peel significantly reduces freckles, age spots and pigmentation by utilising a powerful two phased approach.
The first in-clinic treatment deactivates a critical enzyme in the production of melanin responsible for the formation of dark spots. Secondly, is the continued application of cosmelan products from home, utilising a proprietary blend of bleaching agents and botanical ingredients to eliminate existing excess pigment deposits.
This breakthrough treatment is clinically proven to eliminate hyperpigmentation with it’s intensive corrective effect on skin discoloration and regulation of melanin overproduction, inhibiting and controlling the appearance of new dark spots. End results of this treatment delivers a unified skin tone and enhanced skin luminosity without the use of lasers.
The cosmelan peel is compatible with all skin types and colours and can be used all year round due to its high safety margin.
