Cosmelan® PEEL in NYC for Melasma & Hyperpigmentation

Cosmelan® PEEL in NYC for Melasma & Hyperpigmentation

Struggling with melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), sun spots, or uneven skin tone? Cosmelan® is a professional depigmentation treatment designed to visibly reduce discoloration while helping regulate excess melanin production. Unlike a traditional chemical peel that primarily exfoliates the skin's surface, the Cosmelan® protocol combines an in-office treatment with a guided home-care regimen to improve the appearance of pigmentation over time. It is commonly used for many skin tones and is a popular option for patients with melasma and stubborn dark spots

Duration 45–60 minutes
Downtime Little to none

My main skin concerns were dullness and uneven tone. The skin expert created a customized treatment plan for me with virtually no downtime, which is very convenient for a busy NYC lifestyle. I'm thrilled with the results. My skin looks radiant, and I've been getting so many compliments on my glow!

Loved my experience here! The team was super friendly and professional, making me feel completely at ease. The Glass Skin Facial left my skin hydrated, glowing, and unbelievably smooth. The esthetician was knowledgeable and gave great skincare tips. A truly relaxing and luxurious experience-I'll definitely be back!

Had a chem peel with Snezanna and just loved it! She took time to listen to my needs, analyze my skin and ask all the right questions to select the most right product, and it was the one! She clearly loves her job and it shows in her passion to help and her gentle touch. I've had peels many many times, and I know that it is easy to screw up. But Snazanna did amazing job at applying the exact amount of product to ensure the peel that would benefit my skin without any extra discomfort (I mean I still peeled as expected, of course :) she also explained in detail the post procedure care. Now I am glowing:)) highly recommend! Not my last visit !!!

I had a wonderful experience with NY Skin experts! The process of my chemical peel was so easy and relaxing from start to finish. The staff was so friendly and I couldn't be happier with my results.

My skin started being really bad in September of 2023. I tried a lot of things but nothing worked. After calling some places in NYC I found this place and spoke to Viktor on the phone. He was extremely helpful kind and patient over the phone. We scheduled an appointment in February 2024. After the first treatment was convinced I was on the right path to achieve healthy skin as Viktor educated and guided me along the way. I continued to come back for more treatments and stuck to a a strict simply regimen that Viktor recommended. My skin as you can see in the second photo from today September 21st looks super healthy and fresh. I did my last treatment with Yana who was just as lovely. I can't wait to keep coming back for more treatments.

I've had a total of about 3-4 treatments and I'm extremely happy with the results. I can't recommend Viktor and Yana enough!!!!

I will forever come back here and recommend everyone to come here for all their skin needs and concerns.

I did the chemical peel and high frequency facial and was so satisfied with my results. Everyone keeps telling me that my skin looks glowing. I had some breakouts prior to the treatments that are now all cleared up just a few days later! I will definitely be returning and checking out the other treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Cosmelan® hurt? ▼
Most patients experience little to no discomfort during the treatment. After the mask is removed, it's normal to feel warmth, tightness, dryness, or mild burning as the skin begins to renew.
How long does the treatment take? ▼
Your in-office appointment typically takes 30–60 minutes. You'll leave wearing the Cosmelan® mask and remove it at home after the number of hours recommended by your provider.
When will I see results? ▼
Many clientss notice brighter, more even-toned skin within 2–4 weeks. Pigmentation continues to improve over the following 2–3 months as long as the recommended home-care routine is followed.
How many treatments will I need? ▼
Most patients achieve excellent results with one Cosmelan® treatment followed by the prescribed home-care program. Some patients with severe or recurring pigmentation may benefit from additional treatments.
Is there any downtime? ▼
Yes. During the first week, you could expect redness, peeling, dryness, tightness, and increased skin sensitivity. These reactions are a normal part of the healing process and gradually improve.
Can Cosmelan® treat melasma? ▼
Yes. Cosmelan® is considered one of the most effective professional treatments for melasma, helping reduce existing pigmentation while minimizing the risk of recurrence when the maintenance protocol is followed.
Can Cosmelan® treat acne marks? ▼
Yes. Cosmelan® is highly effective for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) caused by acne. It helps fade dark marks and creates a more even skin tone.
Is Cosmelan® safe for darker skin tones? ▼
Yes. Cosmelan® is suitable for most Fitzpatrick skin types (I–VI) and is commonly recommended for patients with darker skin who may not be ideal candidates for more aggressive resurfacing procedures.
Can I wear makeup after treatment? ▼
You should avoid makeup during the initial healing period or until your provider tells you it is safe. Once the skin has recovered, mineral makeup is usually recommended.
Will my skin peel? ▼
Yes. Peeling is an expected part of the treatment. The amount varies from person to person, ranging from light flaking to more noticeable peeling during the first week.
Can pigmentation come back? ▼
Yes. Melasma and some forms of hyperpigmentation can recur due to sun exposure, hormones, heat, or genetics. Daily sunscreen and following the recommended maintenance program significantly reduce the risk of recurrence.
Is sunscreen necessary? ▼
Absolutely. Daily use of a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen is essential after Cosmelan®. UV exposure is one of the main triggers for pigmentation returning.
Can Cosmelan® be combined with other treatments? ▼
Yes. Once your skin has fully healed, Cosmelan® can often be combined with treatments such as microneedling, laser skin rejuvenation, or chemical peels to further improve skin texture and overall appearance. Your provider will recommend the safest treatment timeline.
Who is not a good candidate for Cosmelan®? ▼
Cosmelan® may not be appropriate for patients with active skin infections, open wounds, severe eczema, certain allergies to the ingredients, or those who cannot commit to the required aftercare. A consultation is the best way to determine if the treatment is right for you.
