The Kaiser Method & Cosmelan™

Fade melasma.
Even your skin tone.

Melasma is one of the most stubborn forms of pigmentation — hormone-driven, easily aggravated and prone to coming back. At Shape of You we treat it with two of the most effective tools available — the Kaiser Method (Hollywood Spectra™ PTP+™ multi-pulse toning) and the Cosmelan™ depigmentation system — to gently lift the pigment and keep it under control.

A darker "shadow" or moustache-like band of pigment along the upper lip.

Hormonal Melasma ?

Pigment triggered or worsened by pregnancy, the pill or hormonal changes — the "mask of pregnancy".

Sun-Aggravated Pigment ?

Pigment that fades with treatment but keeps returning without the right maintenance.

Our Technology

Two platforms, matched to your skin.

The Kaiser Method

A specialised melasma protocol on the Hollywood Spectra™ laser — PTP+™ multi-pulse toning. Ultra-low, gentle energy passes break melasma pigment down gradually, calming the skin rather than provoking it, for a safe, controlled fade of even stubborn, hormone-driven pigment.

Cosmelan™ Depigmentation

The world's leading professional depigmentation method — a powerful in-clinic mask followed by a guided home protocol. Cosmelan™ reduces the melasma pigment already in your skin and, just as importantly, regulates the cells that produce it, helping stop the pigment from coming back.

The Science

How we fade melasma.

01

Calm the Pigment

Gentle laser toning — the Kaiser Method — breaks melasma pigment down slowly, without the aggressive heat that can make melasma worse.

02

Switch It Off

The Cosmelan™ protocol then targets the over-active cells that make the pigment — reducing what is already there and regulating new pigment.

03

Keep It Away

With a tailored home routine and diligent sun protection, the skin stays clearer and the melasma is kept under long-term control.

“Melasma is the most stubborn pigment we treat — it needs a careful, conservative approach, never aggressive heat. The art is combining gentle toning with the right depigmenting protocol, which is exactly why every treatment begins with a proper skin assessment.”

Individual results vary, and a personalised assessment is provided before treatment. Melasma is a chronic condition that is managed rather than cured — it can be significantly faded, but diligent sun protection and maintenance are essential to keep it from returning.

Good to Know

Frequently asked questions.

What is melasma?+
Melasma is a common, chronic form of pigmentation that causes blotchy brown or grey-brown patches, usually on the cheeks, forehead and upper lip. It is driven by hormones, sun and heat, which is why it is stubborn and prone to returning.
Do you treat it with laser or Cosmelan?+
Often both. The Kaiser Method (gentle Hollywood Spectra™ toning) breaks the pigment down safely, while the Cosmelan™ system reduces it and regulates the cells that make it. We'll confirm the right combination at your assessment.
Is laser safe for melasma?+
Aggressive lasers and heat can make melasma worse. The Kaiser Method uses ultra-low, gentle multi-pulse toning designed specifically for melasma — a careful, conservative approach rather than a harsh one.
What is involved with Cosmelan™?+
An in-clinic mask is applied and left on for a set time, followed by a guided home routine of creams over the following weeks. We'll walk you through every step and review your progress along the way.
Is there downtime?+
Laser toning is a walk-in, walk-out treatment. With Cosmelan™ you can expect some redness, flaking and peeling for several days as the skin renews — we'll tell you exactly what to expect and how to care for your skin.
Can melasma be cured?+
Melasma is managed rather than cured — it is a chronic, hormone-driven condition. Treatment can fade it dramatically, but diligent daily SPF and a maintenance routine are essential to keep it under control.
Is there anyone it isn't suitable for?+
Pregnancy and breastfeeding, recent sun exposure or a tan, and certain medications or skin conditions affect suitability and timing. Your clinician will assess all of this before recommending a plan.
