Treatment overview
A programme, not a surface peel
Cosmelan® is a professional depigmentation treatment designed to form part of a structured pigmentation-management programme, rather than functioning as a simple surface peel.
Assessment first
Pigmentation behaves differently from person to person.
Because pigmentation can behave differently according to skin type, history and underlying triggers, assessment is an important part of deciding whether Cosmelan is appropriate.
At Allure Passions UK, treatment is planned around the individual pigmentation pattern, previous skincare and the long-term management required to maintain improvement.

Treatment overview
What is Cosmelan®?
Cosmelan is a professional depigmentation treatment used as part of a structured approach to uneven pigmentation.
The treatment works within a broader protocol rather than being treated as a single isolated facial.
The objective is to address the appearance of excess pigmentation while supporting a longer-term pigmentation-management strategy.
This is important because pigmentation can return when the factors contributing to it remain present.
Understanding pigmentation
What causes pigmentation?
Pigmentation can be influenced by many factors.
- UV exposure
- Hormonal changes
- Inflammation
- Previous acne
- Skin injury
- Genetic predisposition
This is why pigmentation management needs to look beyond the visible mark itself.
The same-looking pigmentation can have different contributing factors, so assessment is important before selecting treatment.
Suitability
Who may be suitable?
Suitability depends on:
- Pigmentation pattern
- Skin condition
- Current skincare
- Previous treatments
- Ability to follow aftercare
- Individual treatment history
A consultation is therefore important before treatment.
The objective is not simply to identify pigmentation, but to understand what may be contributing to it and how it should be managed over time.
Long-term
Cosmelan® & long-term pigmentation management
Improving pigmentation is only one part of the treatment process.
UV exposure can stimulate melanin production again, meaning daily sun protection and appropriate skincare remain important for maintaining improvement.
This is why a pigmentation treatment should be considered as part of a longer-term skin plan.
Treatment, skincare and environmental protection all contribute to the overall management strategy.

Your results
What can affect pigmentation results?
Pigmentation is particularly influenced by ongoing environmental and biological factors.
These include:
- UV exposure
- Hormonal changes
- Inflammation
- Acne
- Skin irritation
- Skincare
- Individual pigmentation tendency
This means that treating the visible pigmentation without addressing ongoing triggers may result in pigmentation returning.
Comparison
Cosmelan® vs other pigmentation treatments
Different pigmentation concerns can require different approaches.
PicoWay
A treatment such as PicoWay may be considered for selected benign pigmented lesions and other specific pigment-related concerns.
BioRePeel
A professional peel such as BioRePeel may form part of a skin-renewal approach for selected pigmentation concerns.
Cosmelan
Cosmelan is positioned differently, as a structured depigmentation programme with longer-term pigmentation management.
The appropriate option depends on the type and behaviour of the pigmentation.
Results
Results & maintenance
Pigmentation management should be viewed as a longer-term process.
The objective is not simply to change the appearance of pigmentation during a single appointment.
Maintaining improvement requires attention to:
- Sun protection
- Skincare
- Pigmentation triggers
- Hormonal influences where relevant
- Inflammation
- Ongoing skin health
Your practitioner can advise on the appropriate maintenance approach following treatment.
