Melanogenesis: origin of skin depigmentation
Melanogenesis is the combined process of physical, biochemical and
morphological skin factors for protecting itself against the action of sun
radiations.
It consists of melanin production in the melanocyte, this being a cell
located at the basal layer of the epidermis, wherein it acts as a
photoprotecting barrier.

Melanogenesis: origin of skin depigmentation
Once melanin has been synthesised, melanosomes are exported towards keratinocytes.
In keratinocytes, melanosome membranes are disrupted and melanin protects cell DNA from
ultraviolet radiations.
The continuous desquamation and renewal process of skin corneocytes is the natural mechanism of
cell renewal and the melanin removal pathway.

They are responsible for the darkest
pigmentations.

are responsible for the lightest

Human skin colour: skin phototypes
The North American dermatologist Dr. T.
Fitzpatrick established a classification of
the skin type based on the quantity and
type of melanins produced.
It is the reference used worldwide.

The cosmelan method
depigmentating cosmetic method effective against skin
pigmentations
The cosmelan method acts on those cells responsible for skin pigmentation by controlling
pigment production at those areas where there is an excess thereof, thereby succeeding in
removing or attenuating skin melanic unaesthetic pigmentations.
• It has an intensive and integral depigmentating action.
• It is highly effective in all kinds of skin pigmentations.
• It can be initiated at any time of the year.
• It may be applied to any skin phototype.
• It has a broad safety margin.

All data of interest will be collected, including personal, habit-related and technical data (type of skin,
type of lesions, associated concerns) and disorder-related factors.

Analyse the skin with Wood‘s light
Wood‘s light is a light beam emitted by a mercury lamp.
 Epidermal melasma: it becomes more obvious with light (dark fluorescence).
 Dermal melasma: it becomes attenuated/poor fluorescence.
 Mixed melasma: some areas become more obvious whereas others do not.
 Inapparent melasma: it vanishes with light (V or VI).

This sensation is attenuated by repeatedly applying products favouring the
suitable moisturising.

FAQ’s
1. Which is cosmelan mechanism of action?
It acts in a non-cytotoxic manner, inhibiting both the production and the transfer of melanin
pigments. It produces a superficial chemexfoliation, thereby allowing attenuation and/or
removal of more or less deep superficial hyperpigmentations.
2. Which sensations does the patient usually experiment along the 8-hour time of exposure to
cosmelan 1 mask?
The symptoms may vary between individuals; nevertheless, a slight itching or stinging
sensation and tightness can be felt.
3. Which changes does the skin usually undergo in the days following application of cosmelan
1 mask?
Although symptoms vary between individuals, there is usually a slight desquamation, together
with some itching, stinging and tightness.

FAQ’s
4. Is it necessary to take any precaution during treatment?
Besides being a necessary requirement in order to avoid post-inflammatory
hyperpigmentations, the continuous use of a high-filter solar protection is essential when
facing light exposure or any nature, since both natural and artificial light can stimulate melanin
synthesis.
If because of his/her labour activities one is subject to direct light sources, it is necessary to
repeat the sun protection application regularly.
During the first week post-treatment, it is advisable to avoid the following activities: swimming
in pools, sauna, exposure to direct heat sources, outdoor sports.
5. For how long is it recommended to perform the home care treatment?
It is recommended to perform the application for at least 4 months, which may be extended
up to 9 months depending on the progression of each individual case.

FAQ’s
6. In which cases is it recommended to complement cosmelan and depigmentating treatment
with tmt system no. 7?
Once the cosmelan treatment is over, the professional will assess the possibility to
complement the depigmentating effect with the tmt system no. 7 treatment for those
hyperpigmentations that because of their more deep location will persist.
7. After how long will the result of the treatment be noticed?
One month after having been applying cosmelan 2 mask, we can appreciate an attenuation of
hyperpigmentations and the disappearance of the most superficial ones, besides an evident
improvement in the skin, with unification of the tone.
8. During the 4 months of home care treatiment with cosmelan, can techniques such as
biostimulation be used?
Once at the single night application stage, the skin can be treated by means of any treatment,
provided it is not photodynamica.

FAQ’s
9. Can cosmelan 2 be used indefinitely after conducting a treatment with cosmelan?
In order to prolong the associated benefits of skin embellishment, cosmelan 2 is often
indefinitely maintained as antiaging treatment with longer intervals between applications.
10. How can the intake of certain drugs and/or nutritional supplements affect the treatment
result?
Many drugs have photosensitising effects on the skin; nutritional supplements contain
ingredients that may interfere with the melanin synthesis metabolism.
The regular intake of both is to be considered when predicting the efficiency of any
depigmentating treatment. Therefore, it is essential to gather as much information as possible
through the anamnesis.
