Cosmelan is a professional depigmenting method designed to help reduce facial spots and melasma and to improve the evenness of your skin tone. The protocol runs in phases: a first in-clinic application followed by a home depigmenting routine tailored to your skin. It may suit people with sun spots, melasma or a dull, uneven complexion who are looking for a steady, well-supervised plan. We are honest about expectations: melasma is a chronic condition, so the aim is to reduce and control the spots rather than make them disappear, and daily sun protection is essential. At Nova Center (Les Corts, Barcelona) we always begin with a prior assessment to confirm the method is suitable and to define your protocol.

Cosmelan fits when you want a professional method for spots and melasma and are willing to follow a home routine and strict sun protection. It is important to know that melasma is a chronic condition: the aim is to reduce the spots and keep the tone more controlled over time, not to make them disappear completely. At the assessment we review your skin, your history and your expectations before deciding.

Frequently asked questions
What is Cosmelan and how does it work?
It is a professional depigmenting method that helps reduce spots and melasma and improve tone evenness. It works in phases: a first in-clinic application followed by a home depigmenting routine kept up over the following weeks.
What kind of spots is it indicated for?
It mainly targets melasma and sun or brown spots on the face, as well as a dull, uneven complexion. Not all spots respond the same way, so the prior assessment confirms whether it is the right option for your skin.
How many phases are there and how long does it take?
The process combines an in-clinic phase of around 90 minutes with a later home routine tailored to your skin. The full plan unfolds over several weeks, with follow-up reviews to keep adapting the care.
Is it uncomfortable? What will I notice afterwards?
During the application you may feel tolerable warmth, stinging or tingling. In the following days some redness, tightness and flaking are common and part of the process. We will give you a hydration and sun-protection routine to support recovery.
Is melasma cured, or can it come back?
Melasma is a chronic condition: the aim is to reduce and control the spots and improve tone, not to make them disappear. It can return with sun exposure or hormonal factors, so daily sun protection and follow-up are an essential part of the plan.
Do I need a prior assessment, and what does it cost?
Yes, we always start with an assessment to review your skin and history and confirm the method is suitable. The price is indicative, from 600 €, and is finalised at that assessment according to your case and the protocol proposed.
Can I have this during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
The Cosmelan depigmenting routine is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. If you are in either stage, mention it at the prior assessment: the usual approach is to wait for a more suitable time and, in the meantime, prioritise sun protection and gentle care.
Do I need a prior assessment?
We recommend an assessment to confirm the treatment is suitable and define the protocol for your case.
Can I expect a specific result?
Results vary from person to person. We do not promise a specific result.
