With our aggressive UV and ever-increasing long, hot summers, we are not surprised that it is estimated that 90 percent of people will develop some form of photo-ageing and/or pigmentation by the age of 50, if not earlier.

Our strong UV is one of the major culprits with regards to this, but genetics, acne, post-inflammatory conditions, photosensitising medication or even products can all come into play too. All of these types of pigmentation are extremely difficult to treat.
It has always been a delicate dance when it comes to treating these conditions, as many treatments and techniques can actually exacerbate the condition instead of rectifying it. We want real results for you. We do not want to just treat the surface, we want to treat the cause at the source, at the melanocyte.
What has us so excited? How are we now effectively treating this common skin condition? We use the mesoestetic cosmelan programme.
What is cosmelan? cosmelan is a one-time, professional skin brightening treatment developed to help reduce the appearance of age spots and blemishes and even out skin tone in a matter of weeks, with minimal side effects. The clinically proven results are truly impressive, achieving up to 95 per cent improvement in the majority of cases.
Treatments with the mesoestetic cosmelan topical solution are tailored to each individual and the results are long lasting. The treatment consists of two phases and it is imperative that you follow the directions given by the treating professional to achieve complete success.
Phase 1 – In the clinic
The cosmelan 1 mask is applied in clinic and left on the skin for a period of time which is determined by various factors including skin conditions. This is usually around eight hours.
Phase 2 – At home maintenance
The mask is removed at home and followed by an application of melan recovery cream. cosmelan 2 maintenance cream is applied at home along with a recommended home care regime, including the all-important SPF. The objective of this highly effective maintenance cream is to help continue the brightening of the complexion and assist in preventing the signs of age spots, all the while enhancing luminosity.
Peeling of the treated skin usually begins in about 3–5 days. We are in frequent contact with you to see you through this stage. Follow-up is in 7–10 days at which point a marked reduction in major discolouration should be noticeable. The cosmelan home maintenance product programme must be adhered to for the next six months for effective results.
