Why We Like Cosmelan Depigmentation

We absolutely love Cosmelan at AcneClinicNYC for its exceptional ability to treat the complex and challenging condition of melasma.

Our clients tolerate it well, and it’s earned the appreciation not only from us but also from our clients who experience its transformative results.
How does Cosmelan works:
The Cosmelan treatment involves using a proprietary combination of active ingredients with proven efficacy that interfere with the entire process of melanin production. In addition to removing the accumulation of excess melanin (pigment), the Cosmelan treatment inhibits the formation of new pigment.
Cosmelan works via several mechanisms:
- Accelerates epidermal renewal to remove the accumulation of melanin.
- Reduces the amount of melanin formation and decreases dark spots.
- Blocks the transfer of melanin from the melanocyte to the keratinocyte, thus inhibiting the migration of pigment to epidermal layers of the skin.
- Reduces the synthesis of melanin inside melanocytes.
FAQ
With Cosmelan we treat all types of spots of melanin origin, that is, spots originating due to melanin overproduction triggered by several factors (hormonal, genetic, post-acne, post-depilation factors, etc.) that worsen due to sun exposure. Therefore, Cosmelan is effective to treat spots such as: melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentations (PIH), solar, senile lentigo and freckles.
