Cosmelan, The professional depigmenting treatment

The Cosmelan anti-stain treatment, recognized as the number 1 in the world, works from the inhibition of the enzyme tyrosinase, which is responsible for the formation of melanin, by various mechanisms of action, eliminating the stains commonly known as melasma or chloasma, having a 95% success rate in clinical cases and being the most popular treatment in the world.

Eliminate spots on the skin

Most of the pigmentary alterations are due to exposure to the sun or high temperatures, being common also due to hormonal changes, such as the spots on the face that appear during pregnancy or the use of contraceptive pills.

In the case of people with cystic acne, hyperpigmentation can also be generated in the areas where the pimple was, as well as in adults over 50 years of age, where the spots caused by young sun damage begin to become visible.
