Cosmelan Peel

The Cosmelan® Peel is a professional depigmentation treatment that reduces melasma, sun damage, dark spots, and hyperpigmentation. It works by regulating your skin’s melanin production to reveal a more even, radiant complexion.

Unlike traditional chemical peels that simply resurface the skin, Cosmelan® addresses hyperpigmentation at its source. It not only improves discoloration but also helps prevent new pigmentation from forming.

Patients struggling with melasma, stubborn pigmentation, uneven skin tone, or post-acne dark spots often see dramatic results with Cosmelan®. During your consultation at Capizzi MD in Charlotte, our providers will customize a treatment plan for your skin type and goals.

You can expect redness, dryness, and peeling for several days as your skin renews itself. Most patients feel comfortable returning to normal routines quickly, and makeup can typically be worn after the initial recovery phase.

Many patients notice brighter, clearer skin within the first few weeks, with continued improvement over the next several months with continued use of the Cosmelan aftercare product. With proper aftercare and sun protection, results are long-lasting.

Most patients achieve their goals with one treatment and a dedicated at-home protocol, though results vary based on skin condition and lifestyle factors.

Yes — one of the benefits of Cosmelan® is that it is safe and effective for all skin tones, including darker complexions, which are not usually a candidate for laser treatments for pigmentation.
