Ingredients
Cosmelan contains a powerful combination of active ingredients, including hydroquinone, kojic acid, azelaic acid, phytic acid, and ascorbic acid. Hydroquinone is a skin-lightening agent that helps to reduce the production of melanin in the skin, while kojic acid is an antioxidant that can help to brighten the complexion and reduce the appearance of dark spots. Azelaic acid is a naturally occurring acid that can help to unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and even out skin tone. Phytic acid is a gentle exfoliant that can help to remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover. Ascorbic acid, a form of vitamin C, can help to brighten and even out the skin tone.
Cosmelan Program
The Cosmelan program is a comprehensive and effective treatment designed to address hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. It involves several steps to ensure optimal results:
- Consultation: During the consultation, your aesthetic practitioner will assess your skin condition, discuss your concerns and goals, and determine if Cosmelan is the right treatment for you.
- Pre-treatment: Prior to the in-office treatment, you will be provided with an at-home skin preparation regimen. This step helps to prepare your skin for the treatment and enhance its effectiveness.
- In-office treatment: The Cosmelan treatment itself is performed in the office by your aesthetic practitioner. It involves the application of a customized protocol that targets and reduces hyperpigmentation, helping to achieve a more even skin tone.
- At-Home Care: After the in-office treatment, you will be given a personalized skincare regimen to follow at home. This will include a range of Mesoestetic products specifically selected to help maintain and enhance your results.
- Follow-Up: Your aesthetic practitioner will schedule follow-up appointments as needed to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan. These appointments are important to ensure that you are achieving the desired results.
Follow-Up Requirements
In order to maintain their results, patients should follow a specific at-home skincare regimen for several months following the Cosmelan treatment. Additionally, patients may be advised to return for follow-up treatments to maintain their results over the long term.
Contraindications
Cosmelan is generally safe for most people, but it may not be suitable for individuals with sensitive skin or allergies to any of the ingredients, active skin infections or conditions, pregnancy or breastfeeding, or a history of keloid scarring.
Product Inclusions

Cosmelan Aftercare: Sustaining Beautiful Results
Congratulations on completing your Cosmelan treatment! Now, it's time to focus on maintaining your stunning results. At The Beauty Studio, we understand the importance of post-treatment care to ensure long-lasting benefits and prevent the recurrence of unwanted pigmentation.
Why is it recommended to follow the Cosmelan aftercare regimen for a full year after treatment?
Cosmelan is a powerful treatment that effectively targets and reduces hyperpigmentation. However, maintaining the desired outcome requires ongoing commitment and diligent aftercare. Here's why the Cosmelan aftercare regimen is recommended for a year:
- Sustained Pigmentation Inhibition: The Cosmelan aftercare cream is specially formulated to inhibit the activity of melanocytes, the cells responsible for producing pigment. By consistently using this cream for an extended period, you can effectively prevent pigmentation from resurfacing and maintain a more even complexion.
- Skin Cell Turnover: The post-treatment phase involves cell turnover and renewal. It takes time for the skin to fully regenerate and for the effects of the Cosmelan treatment to stabilize. Following the aftercare regimen for a year helps support this process and maximizes the long-term benefits.
- Protection Against External Factors: Your skin is constantly exposed to various environmental stressors, including UV radiation. By continuing to use the Cosmelan aftercare cream and practicing daily sun protection, you can shield your skin from these factors that can trigger pigmentation issues and compromise the treatment's effectiveness.
At The Beauty Studio, we provide comprehensive guidance and support during your aftercare journey. Our team will be with you every step of the way, monitoring your progress, answering any questions you may have, and recommending any additional treatments or products that can enhance and prolong your results.
Remember, consistency is key when it comes to aftercare. By dedicating yourself to the recommended year-long regimen, you give your skin the best chance to maintain its newfound radiance and prevent the recurrence of unwanted pigmentation.

How long do the results of Cosmelan treatment last?
Answer: The longevity of the results of Cosmelan treatment varies depending on individual skin type, lifestyle factors, and how well post-treatment care is maintained. With proper care, the results can last a few years. It is recommended to follow a strict skincare regimen after the treatment, including the use of sunscreen to protect the skin from further damage and maintain the results for longer. Regular touch-up treatments may also be recommended to maintain the desired results over time.
What are the possible side effects of Cosmelan treatment?
Some possible side effects of the treatment include redness, dryness, peeling, and temporary darkening of the skin. However, these side effects are temporary and usually subside within a few days.
Is the Cosmelan treatment painful?
The Cosmelan treatment is generally not painful, but some patients may experience a slight tingling or burning sensation during the treatment. Topical anesthesia can be used to minimize any discomfort.
What should I expect during the Cosmelan treatment?
During the treatment, a thick mask will be applied to the face, which will be worn for several hours, depending on the individual's needs. After the mask is removed, a post-treatment cream will be applied to the skin. Patients can expect some redness and peeling in the days following the treatment.
What is the difference between Cosmelan and other pigmentation treatments?
Cosmelan is unique in that it not only addresses existing pigmentation issues but also prevents new hyperpigmentation from forming. It is also suitable for all skin types and offers minimal downtime compared to other pigmentation treatments.
What is the Cosmelan treatment program?
A Cosmelan treatment program typically consists of various components that are specifically designed to effectively treat hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. The program usually starts with an at-home pre-treatment, followed by an in-clinic professional treatment, and ends with a home care maintenance program.
The in-clinic treatment involves the application of a specialized Cosmelan mask that contains a unique blend of active ingredients. The mask works by inhibiting the enzyme responsible for the production of melanin, which gives color to the skin. This leads to a reduction in hyperpigmentation and an overall improvement in skin tone and texture.
The home care maintenance program usually includes the use of specific skincare products to maintain the effects of the in-clinic treatment. These products typically contain ingredients that further reduce pigmentation and maintain an even skin tone. The number of products provided in the treatment program depends on the selected package.
In addition to the in-clinic treatment and home care program, patients may also be advised to follow specific lifestyle changes to help maintain their results. This may include avoiding excessive sun exposure, wearing sunscreen daily, and abstaining from smoking and alcohol consumption.
Overall, a Cosmelan treatment program is a comprehensive approach to treating hyperpigmentation and achieving a brighter, more even skin tone and texture.
