Cosmelan and Dermamelan are professional depigmentation treatments designed to address stubborn pigmentation issues, such as melasma, sunspots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. These advanced treatments are highly effective in improving skin tone, reducing discoloration, and enhancing overall skin radiance.
At Primavera Clinic, we specialize in providing these transformative treatments tailored to individual skin needs.
What is Brisbane Cosmelan Peel?
Both Cosmelan and Dermamelan are chemical peel systems developed to treat a wide range of pigmentation disorders. While they share similar active ingredients and mechanisms, Dermamelan is a stronger formulation often recommended for more severe pigmentation concerns.
• Cosmelan: Ideal for mild to moderate pigmentation issues, this treatment is effective for melasma, age spots, and uneven skin tone.
• Dermamelan: A more intensive depigmentation treatment, Dermamelan is designed for severe and resistant pigmentation cases.
These treatments are suitable for individuals struggling with:
• Melasma: Hormonal pigmentation often caused by pregnancy or contraceptive use.
• Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Dark spots resulting from acne, injuries, or skin irritation.
• Sunspots: UV-induced pigmentation that appears as dark patches on sun-exposed areas.
• Uneven Skin Tone: General discoloration or dullness.
How Do Cosmelan and Dermamelan Work?
These treatments work by targeting the melanin production process in the skin.
Melanin is the pigment responsible for skin color, and its overproduction leads to pigmentation concerns.
Melanin Inhibition: Cosmelan and Dermamelan inhibit tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in melanin synthesis, thereby reducing excessive pigmentation.
Exfoliation: Both treatments promote skin cell turnover, which helps remove existing pigmented cells and reveals a brighter, more even complexion.
Ongoing Maintenance: The treatments include a homecare regimen to maintain results and prevent new pigmentation from forming.
