Cosmelan® PEEL in NYC for Melasma & Hyperpigmentation

Cosmelan® is a professional depigmentation treatment designed to reduce stubborn pigmentation and create a brighter, more even complexion. It is considered one of the world's leading treatments for melasma, sun damage, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), and other forms of facial discoloration. Unlike many treatments that simply lighten existing dark spots, Cosmelan® also helps regulate the production of excess melanin—the pigment responsible for skin discoloration—helping reduce the likelihood of future pigmentation. The treatment combines an intensive in-office application with a customized at-home skincare program. This dual approach helps fade existing pigmentation while supporting long-term improvement in overall skin tone and clarity. What Skin Concerns Does Cosmelan® Treat? Cosmelan® is commonly recommended for: Sun spots and age spots Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (including acne marks) Uneven skin tone Hormonal pigmentation Freckles and other forms of hyperpigmentation The treatment is suitable for most skin types and can often be safely performed on darker skin tones that may not be ideal candidates for more aggressive laser treatments. However, every patient should undergo a professional consultation to determine whether Cosmelan® is the most appropriate option for their skin. How Does Cosmelan® Work? Excess pigmentation develops when melanocytes produce too much melanin. Cosmelan® works through a two-step approach: It visibly reduces existing pigmentation. It helps regulate melanin production to minimize the recurrence of discoloration over time. Because it addresses both visible pigmentation and one of its underlying causes, Cosmelan® can provide longer-lasting improvement than treatments that only exfoliate the skin surface. What Results Can You Expect? Most patients notice brighter, clearer skin within several weeks, with continued improvement as they follow the recommended home care regimen. Results vary depending on the type and severity of pigmentation, skin type, and adherence to aftercare. Following treatment, daily sunscreen use and consistent skincare are essential for maintaining results and reducing the risk of new pigmentation. Is Cosmelan® Right for You? If you're frustrated by melasma, acne marks, sun damage, or uneven skin tone that hasn't responded to traditional skincare products, Cosmelan® may be an excellent option. During your consultation, our skincare specialists will evaluate your skin, identify the cause of your pigmentation, and create a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve a healthier, more radiant complexion.
