Cosmelan in Stockholm
Would you like to have Cosmelan in Stockholm and get help with melasma or pigmentation? At MyClinic, we always carry out an individual assessment before treatment, since the type of pigmentation, its depth, and lifestyle factors such as sun exposure and heat affect both results and the treatment plan.
What is Cosmelan?
Cosmelan is a depigmenting treatment that targets processes linked to the skin’s melanin production. The goal is to reduce existing hyperpigmentation and help prevent dark spots from returning.
Cosmelan combines two parts:
- In-clinic treatment with a professional mask
- A structured at-home skincare routine over a period of time
This combination of the in-clinic step and consistent home care is key to achieving and maintaining results, especially for melasma, which can be recurrent.
Cosmelan for melasma and hyperpigmentation
If you are looking for melasma treatment in Stockholm, Cosmelan may be an option after assessment. Melasma often appears as diffuse brown to grey-brown patches on the face and is commonly influenced by sun exposure, hormones, and heat. That’s why a long-term plan with daily sun protection and tailored skincare is important even after the treatment course is completed.
Cosmelan may also be suitable for:
- Sun-induced pigmentation and UV-related dark spots
- Age spots
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation after acne, irritation, or minor skin injuries
- Uneven skin tone and dullness related to pigmentation
During the consultation, we assess your skin, pigmentation type, pigment depth, and factors that may affect results, such as sun habits, previous treatments, and skin sensitivity.
When is Cosmelan suitable?
Cosmelan may be right for you if you:
- Have melasma or dark spots you want to reduce
- Have pigmentation after acne or inflammation
- Want a more even skin tone and can follow a clear home-care program
- Understand that sun protection is essential both during and after treatment
Cosmelan is not suitable for everyone. During your consultation, we review your skin condition and any factors that may require adjustments or that may mean the treatment should be postponed, for example if the skin is very irritated or if you have recently had other intensive treatments.
Benefits of Cosmelan
- Reduces visible pigmentation and helps create a more even skin tone
- Can deliver noticeable results in a relatively short time
- Works both correctively and preventively when the home-care routine is followed
- Suitable for many skin types and tones after an individual assessment
- Often improves the skin’s glow and overall clarity
How the treatment works at MyClinic
Cosmelan is carried out in two steps.
Step 1: In-clinic treatment
We apply a professional depigmenting mask, which is left on for a controlled period of time. You will receive clear instructions on the application time and how to care for your skin immediately after the treatment.
Step 2: At-home care
After the clinic visit, you continue with a tailored home-care program using specific products. Home care is essential for stabilizing results and reducing the risk of pigmentation returning.
Aftercare and sun protection
Pigmentation reacts strongly to UV light. To achieve long-lasting results, sun protection is key, especially for melasma.
- Use SPF 50+ every day, even on cloudy days
- Avoid deliberate sun exposure and tanning beds during the treatment period
- Follow the home-care instructions carefully
- Temporary dryness, tightness, redness, or flaking is common during the first weeks
Results and expectations
Many people notice that their skin starts to look more even within 2 to 4 weeks. Results often continue to improve gradually, with a more stable effect typically seen within 8 to 12 weeks.
How quickly and how visibly you improve depends on factors such as:
- Pigmentation type and depth
- Skin sensitivity
- How consistently you follow the home-care routine and sun protection
- Exposure to sun, heat, and inflammation
Some may need follow-up or additional measures, especially in cases of more pronounced melasma or recurring pigmentation issues.

Frequently asked questions about Cosmelan
Is a consultation required?
Yes. Cosmelan is performed only after an individual consultation to ensure the treatment is suitable for your skin, your pigmentation type, and your goals.
Does the treatment hurt?
It varies. Some people experience warmth, tingling, or irritation during and after treatment. We go through what to expect and how to manage the skin during your consultation.
Can I treat melasma with Cosmelan?
Cosmelan is often used for melasma and can deliver very good results, especially when daily sun protection and the at-home routine are followed consistently. Melasma can be recurrent, so a long-term plan is important.
How long do the results last?
Results can be long-lasting, but pigmentation can be affected by sun exposure, hormones, heat, and inflammation. That’s why consistent SPF and tailored skincare are recommended even after the treatment course is completed.
When can I start seeing results?
Many people notice improvement within 2 to 4 weeks, with a more complete and stable effect typically seen within 8 to 12 weeks.
What is hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation is when the skin produces too much melanin in an area, causing darker spots or patches. It can appear as sun spots, post-acne marks, or larger diffuse patches such as melasma.
Why do you get hyperpigmentation?
Common causes include UV exposure (sun), inflammation in the skin (for example acne or irritation), hormonal factors (often linked to melasma), and genetics. Heat, friction, and unsuitable skincare can also worsen pigmentation. That’s why sun protection and the right home-care routine are important alongside any treatment.
