Cosmelan
Cosmelan is the world leading de-pigmentation and rejuvenating system. The treatment comprises top-range facial rejuvenation products, skin peels, and LED light therapy.
The multi-step treatment process offers an efficient way to reduce unwanted skin pigmentation, restoring a beautifully even skin tone. Your skin is prepared for one month prior to the main Cosmelan peel treatment. This is a professionally applied, in-clinic skin mask (or peel) that is left on your skin, to be washed off at home. Afterwards, a specific set of products are used for three to six months to enhance the action of the mask/peel.
Dr Shauna Watts and her team will provide quality care and instructions so that you can achieve an excellent final result.
How Does Cosmelan Work?
Cosmelan is a two-fold action treatment process, involving both in-clinic and at-home treatments. The Cosmelan peel mask targets the source of pigment in the skin, inhibiting the production of melanin in order to create a more even skin tone. This makes it an excellent treatment for sun spots, brown post-acne marks, and uneven skin tone.
Following the application of a powerful mask, you will continue to use specific home care products twice daily. The combination of the Cosmelan peel and subsequent at-home product application will enhance the results of your treatment and leave you with dramatically smoother skin. You will have some light skin peeling, revealing a healthy, smoother layer of skin beneath.
Our Cosmelan peel treatment process includes LED phototherapy. This stimulates your skin’s natural healing systems and further optimises your results.

The Benefits of a Cosmelan Peel
Cosmelan is excellent for reducing pigmentation on the skin but is also effective as a general skin rejuvenation treatment. Pigmented areas on the face are very common. Often, they are caused by sun damage, but there are other causes such as hormonal changes and genetics. Triggering factors include sun exposure, pregnancy, certain medications, and thyroid problems. Pigmented areas are often accompanied by the signs of general aging, such as:
- Poor skin tone
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Reduction in skin radiance
- Uneven skin tone
- Dullness
Our Cosmelan peel treatment can visibly reduce these common skin issues, leaving you with a brighter, smoother skin tone. With millions of worldwide Cosmelan peel treatments performed, we can confidently say that pigmented areas and blemishes will be eliminated in 95 percent of cases. You will also notice an improvement in fine lines, texture, tone and complexion. With the specific home-applied products your skin should continue to improve over the six months after the peel.

The Procedure
This rejuvenating treatment is a multi-step procedure. Dr Watts will talk you through the process during your consultation in order to help you prepare and get the most out of your experience. The treatment involves:
- The careful application of a powerful de-pigmentation mask. This is applied by Dr Watts in the clinic, which you will wear for eight to twelve hours afterwards at home. You may feel a slight tingling, but patients generally find it comfortable.
- The second treatment phase involves the use of at-home maintenance creams. Since you will be applying these products twice daily at home, Dr Watts will give you precise instructions.
- Included in this top-quality treatment process is LED skin therapy. The LED light will stimulate your skin cells, promote blood flow, as well as increase collagen production.
The blend of these treatment methods will help reduce discolouration caused by excess melanin in the skin. As a result, this process has helped many patients achieve dramatic, natural, and long-lasting results.
Recovery and Results
After your Cosmelan peel treatment, you can expect to have some redness, tenderness, as well as peeling. You should avoid sun exposure and use a high SPF sunscreen to protect your skin. Dr Watts may also recommend that you:
- Minimise facial movements and avoid exercise for the first 24 hours
- Do not have other facial or peel treatments for 30 days afterwards
- Avoid wearing makeup and using harsh skincare products
- Gently cleanse the skin with lukewarm water
- Sleep on your back and stay well-hydrated
- Follow your at-home treatment instructions, using the required Cosmelan products
Following these guidelines will help your skin achieve the full benefits of the procedure and give you a satisfying outcome. Since your skin will need time to process the effects of treatment, you can expect to see results after three to six weeks. Your blemishes and spots of pigment will begin to fade, and as a result, your skin will appear smoother and clearer.
