Are you struggling with dark spots, melasma, or stubborn discoloration that won’t fade no matter what you try? You’re not alone. Hyperpigmentation is one of the most common skin concerns, and many over-the-counter products fall short. The Cosmelan® Peel offers a powerful, professional solution for achieving a clearer, more even complexion.
At MD Optimal Health & Aesthetics in Columbia, MD, this treatment is available under the leadership of founder and owner Melissa Donelson, a Certified Nurse Practitioner with over 25 years of experience in medicine and aesthetics. Her commitment to safe, science-based care makes the Cosmelan® Peel an ideal option for those ready to treat pigmentation at its source.
What Is the Cosmelan Peel?
The Cosmelan Peel is a professional-grade chemical peel by Xtetic that is specifically formulated to target all types of hyperpigmentation. Unlike other chemical peels that exfoliate the surface, Cosmelan works at the source—melanin production in the skin.
This two-step treatment is suitable for all skin types and tones. It helps correct:
- Melasma (dark patches on the face)
- Sunspots and age spots
- Post-acne pigmentation
- Uneven skin tone caused by hormonal changes
The treatment not only fades current dark spots but also helps prevent future discoloration with proper maintenance.
How Does the Cosmelan Peel Work?
Cosmelan® is the world’s leading depigmenting method, designed to treat hyperpigmentation at its source. Unlike standard chemical peels that only exfoliate the skin’s surface, Cosmelan® combines powerful active ingredients that reduce the overproduction of melanin—the root cause of dark spots, melasma, and sun damage.
The full Cosmelan® method includes four phases, all essential for achieving long-lasting results:
- Phase 1: A licensed provider applies a concentrated mask during an in-office treatment. This step kickstarts the depigmentation process by deeply targeting excess melanin.
- Phases 2, 3, and 4: Over the following weeks, you’ll follow a structured at-home skincare regimen to continue fading discoloration, support skin renewal, and help prevent pigment from returning.
Mild redness, dryness, and peeling are expected in the early stages, but these effects are temporary. Most people notice visible skin tone and clarity improvement within 2 to 4 weeks.
Is the Cosmelan Peel Right for You?
If you have tried serums, brightening creams, or lighter chemical peels without success, the Cosmelan Peel may be the next step. It is especially effective for those with:
- Persistent melasma
- Deep or widespread pigmentation
- Dark spots that return quickly after fading
Cosmelan is safe for all skin tones and offers a gentler but highly effective approach for treating sensitive or reactive skin.
