Cosmelan® Treatment
The Ultimate Solution for (Hyper)pigmentation
Intensive In-Clinic Treatment + At-Home Program for Long-Lasting Results in 6 Months
Cosmelan Treatment
Are you struggling with stubborn pigmentation spots, melasma, or an uneven skin tone that just won’t fade, no matter how well you care for your skin? Then Cosmelan® is the treatment you’ve been looking for.
Cosmelan® is a globally recognized, clinically proven depigmentation treatment that effectively targets all forms of hyperpigmentation. Unlike standard chemical peels, Cosmelan® doesn’t just treat existing dark spots—it tackles the root cause: the overproduction of melanin in the skin. This approach not only reduces current pigmentation but also minimizes the risk of new spots appearing in the future.
What makes Cosmelan® unique is its combination of a professional in-clinic treatment with an intensive at-home care program. This ensures long-lasting results, a more even skin tone, and a radiant, healthy complexion.

What to Expect
The Cosmelan® treatment is more than just a one-time procedure. It’s a comprehensive program combining a professional in-clinic treatment with an intensive at-home care protocol that lasts around 6 months. This approach not only reduces existing pigmentation but also minimizes the risk of new spots appearing.
Step 1: Consultation & Skin Analysis
We begin with a personal consultation where we thoroughly analyze your skin. During this session, we assess the type and severity of your pigmentation to determine if Cosmelan® is the right treatment for you.
Step 2: Preparation Phase (4 Weeks)
For optimal results, we prepare your skin with a peel and at-home products containing active ingredients such as retinol. This helps your skin adapt to the active components, reduces the risk of side effects, and enhances the effectiveness of the treatment.
Step 3: Professional In-Clinic Treatment
Next, we apply the powerful Cosmelan® 1 mask in the clinic. This mask remains on your skin for 6 to 8 hours, working deeply to regulate melanin production. After the recommended time, you will remove the mask at home following our detailed instructions.
Step 4: Intensive At-Home Care (6 Months)
After the in-clinic treatment, the most crucial part of the journey begins: the at-home care phase. You’ll apply the Cosmelan® 2 cream daily, along with soothing products like Melan Recovery and a high SPF to protect your skin. This routine helps keep pigmentation under control long-term.
Step 5: Follow-Up & Evaluation
Throughout the treatment, we schedule several follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and adjust your skincare routine if necessary. This ensures you achieve the best possible results.

Tim Craig2023-09-15As a 49 year old man with no more experience of facial care than smothering myself with "Nivea for Men" I was driven to the world of face care by a very dry, flakey face. So with some trepidation I was booked for a facial with Nancy at SKIN. It was a absolutely fantastic experience - Nancy explained everything that was going on very clearly and steamed, smeared, wiped, squeezed and blasted by face with powerful red light. I've now got a routine to care for my face and no more excessive dryness. Will be back for sure!
Gulsum2023-07-31Een Advanced Skin Facial treatment bij Winke gehad. Ik werd er fijn ontvangen met een korte intro, omdat ik momenteel zwanger ben werden er een aantal dingen van de lijst geschrapt. Hiervoor in de plaats een infrarood therapie gehad, kortom veel aandacht en liefde voor klanten. De fijne producten en uitleg bij elke stap zorgden voor een aangenaam gevoel. Ik ben blij en kom hier zeker weer langs!

Samantha R2023-07-11I don’t often write reviews, but this one deserves attention! After 4 years of struggling with skin issues, i was referred by a friend to Dr Zabaleta and she was adamant that he had made her skin “ridiculously beautiful”! After just 2 treatments I saw some significant improvement. Dr Armando customizes the treatment to the skin type and even considers the impact and reaction of well known products on my tanned, ultra sensitive skin which required a much more delicate approach and with basic products. Previously, I’ve had spent €€€€ on products and treatments over the last 4 years - that were actually causing more damage to my skin, until I discovered Dr Zabaleta and his team. In my intake, he considered medical & lifestyle topics which also helped to spotlight- the true underlying cause of the skin issue. I didn’t feel oversold as the products reccomended are easily accessible and don’t cost a fortunate and he never imposes any of it! He is very direct to even tell you when you don’t need a treatment! 😅 All in all - great customer service and support. A very happy client here and would totally recommend! 6 stars for me! Thank you Team!Google rating score: 4.8 of 5, based on 159 reviews

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do you have questions about our treatments or appointments? We’ve answered the most common questions to help you prepare and give you clarity about our approach.
The Cosmelan® Peel is an intensive depigmentation treatment that effectively reduces pigmentation spots, melasma, and other forms of hyperpigmentation. It works by regulating the overproduction of melanin (the pigment in the skin), resulting in a more even and radiant complexion.
This treatment is suitable for both men and women dealing with pigmentation issues such as:
- Melasma
- Sun damage
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
- Uneven skin tone
Cosmelan® is effective for all skin types and tones.
The treatment consists of two phases:
- Phase 1: A professional mask is applied in the clinic to reduce pigmentation and regulate melanin production.
- Phase 2: An intensive at-home care routine with Cosmelan® 2 cream and supportive products to maintain results and prevent new pigmentation.
The treatment itself is generally not painful. After removing the mask, you may experience tightness, redness, and sensitivity, which are normal and temporary. Some peeling and mild irritation can occur but usually subside within a few days.
Most people notice improvements within 1 to 4 weeks. The skin becomes more even, and pigmentation gradually fades. The final results are typically visible after around 6 months, depending on your skin type and how well you follow the aftercare routine.
The results are long-lasting, provided you follow the at-home care routine and protect your skin from the sun. Daily sun protection (SPF 50+) is essential to prevent pigmentation from returning.
The Cosmelan® treatment consists of two key phases:
- In-Clinic Treatment: A professional application of the Cosmelan® 1 mask, which stays on the skin for 6-8 hours to target pigmentation.
- At-Home Care: After removing the mask, you’ll start a specific at-home care routine with Cosmelan® 2 cream and supportive products to maintain results and prevent new pigmentation. This phase lasts around 6 months.
At-home care is crucial because it enhances the effects of the Cosmelan® peel and helps prevent pigmentation from returning. The active ingredients in Cosmelan® 2 continue to regulate melanin production, ensuring long-term results.
The full treatment process takes approximately 6 months. While you may see improvements within the first 4 weeks, it’s essential to follow the complete at-home routine to achieve long-lasting results.
No, we recommend using only the prescribed Cosmelan® products during the treatment. Other products may reduce the effectiveness of the treatment or cause irritation. After completing the program, you can gradually reintroduce your regular products in consultation with your skin specialist.
We typically schedule follow-ups after 1, 4, and 8 weeks to monitor your progress and adjust the treatment plan if needed. These check-ins help optimize your results and address any concerns.
In the first few weeks after the Cosmelan® 1 mask application, you may experience:
- Redness
- Peeling
- Tightness
- Mild irritation
These are normal reactions as your skin renews itself. Over time, your skin will become clearer, calmer, and more even-toned.
You’ll typically notice the first visible results within 1 to 4 weeks. Your skin will appear brighter, more even, and radiant. The full results are usually visible after about 6 months, depending on your skin type and adherence to the aftercare routine.
While Cosmelan® addresses the root cause of pigmentation, factors like sun exposure, hormonal changes, or skin inflammation can trigger new spots. This is why maintaining an aftercare routine and using daily SPF 50+ is critical to prevent recurrence.
We recommend avoiding intense workouts immediately after the treatment, as sweating can irritate the skin. After a few days, you can resume exercise as long as your skin feels comfortable. Avoid prolonged heat exposure, such as saunas and hot showers, during the recovery period.
During the active Cosmelan® treatment phase, we do not recommend combining it with other intensive skin treatments like chemical peels, microneedling, or laser treatments. After completing the Cosmelan® program, we can discuss additional treatments based on your skin’s needs.
Yes, Cosmelan® is safe and effective for all skin types and tones. This makes it a versatile solution for various forms of hyperpigmentation. During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin to ensure Cosmelan® is the right choice for you.
