Service Information

  • Name: Pigmentation Protocols
  • Category: Beauty
  • Cosmelan® Dual Action: Corrective action: visibly fades existing spots. Regulative action: controls excess pigment production to prevent recurrence. This distinction is critical — not just fading, but preventing recurrence.
  • Treatment Structure: Step 1 (in-clinic): high-intensity depigmentation mask applied in a single session. Step 2 (at home): ~6 months of home care with Cosmelan 2, Melan Recovery and Melan 130+ SPF50+.
  • Treatment Duration: Approximately 6 months in total. May vary depending on the severity of pigmentation.
  • Safe Treatment Timing: Since Healwise is based in Antalya, Cosmelan treatment is started in the autumn-winter months when sun intensity decreases.
Pigmentation Protocols

Dark spots appearing on your skin over time are not just an aesthetic concern — they are most often the combined trace of hormones, sun, past skin inflammation and genetics. The pigmentation treatment protocols we perform at Healwise affect melanin production through different mechanisms to gradually erase spots and restore the skin's natural tone. At the heart of this process lies the Mesoestetic Cosmelan® depigmentation method, recognised as a global gold standard.

Reasons for Application

The Chronicity and Difficulty of Skin Pigmentation

Pigmentation is a chronic and dynamic skin concern. Even after treatment, it tends to return as long as triggers (sun, hormones, acne) continue. A 'once-and-for-all' approach is therefore misleading.

Why Do Spots Return?

Melanin imbalance stems from hormonal, genetic, environmental and post-acne factors. As long as triggers continue, pigmentation can return. The right approach: erase + lifelong protective routine.

  • Melasma and hormonally induced spots
  • Sun spots (solar lentigo)
  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (post-acne marks)
  • Freckles and genetic pigmentation
  • Age spots (senile lentigo)
  • Drug-induced photosensitivity spots

The first changes are noticeable within a few weeks. Completing the 6-month home treatment is essential for full results.

You will have abandoned the treatment halfway and will not achieve the expected results. The spots will re-emerge.

No. Treatment can begin after birth and once breastfeeding has ended.

Treatment will be effective, but the tendency to recur is higher because the trigger continues.
