What is a Cosmelan Peel?
Cosmelan is a professional depigmentation treatment designed to fade melasma, sun spots, and stubborn hyperpigmentation. A clinical mask is applied in-office, then removed at home after several hours, followed by a structured home-care regimen of prescribed creams over the following weeks and months.
Skin peels and flakes for about a week, and pigment fades gradually as the regimen continues. Cosmelan is one of the few treatments that can meaningfully improve melasma, a notoriously difficult condition.
Sun protection and consistent home care are essential — melasma can return without them. The price usually includes the in-office mask plus the take-home kit.
How much does a Cosmelan Peel cost?
Cosmelan nationally typically costs $700 to $1,500, which usually includes the in-office mask application and the take-home maintenance products.
