Cosmelan
£900.00
Cosmelan is a professional depigmentation treatment designed to visibly reduce melasma, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and post-inflammatory pigmentation while promoting a brighter, more even complexion. This advanced treatment helps regulate excess melanin production, leaving the skin clearer, smoother, and more radiant over time.
Treatment Recommendations
Cosmelan is an advanced professional depigmentation treatment developed to target the underlying causes of pigmentation rather than simply treating surface discoloration. The treatment begins with the application of a specialised Cosmelan mask in the clinic, which is left on the skin for a prescribed period before being removed at home according to your practitioner’s instructions. This is followed by a carefully structured homecare programme using professional products that help regulate melanin production, support skin renewal, and maintain long-term results. Cosmelan is highly effective for treating melasma, sun damage, age spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), acne marks, and uneven skin tone. As the skin naturally renews itself, pigmentation gradually fades, skin texture improves, and the complexion becomes brighter, smoother, and more uniform. The treatment is suitable for a wide range of skin types and provides comprehensive skin rejuvenation alongside pigmentation correction.
Prerequisites
A consultation with a qualified practitioner is essential before undergoing Cosmelan treatment to assess your skin condition and determine whether the treatment is suitable for your pigmentation concerns. Please inform your practitioner of any medical conditions, allergies, pregnancy, breastfeeding, active skin infections, eczema, rosacea, recent cosmetic procedures, or medications that may affect skin healing. Avoid excessive sun exposure, retinoids, chemical exfoliants, waxing, and other potentially irritating skincare treatments for several days before your appointment. Following the prescribed homecare routine and strict daily sun protection is essential for achieving safe, effective, and long-lasting results.
Additional Information
The in-clinic Cosmelan treatment typically takes 30–45 minutes, followed by a personalised homecare programme that plays a vital role in achieving optimal results. During the first few days after treatment, it is normal to experience redness, tightness, dryness, and visible peeling as the skin undergoes its renewal process. These effects gradually improve with proper aftercare. Many clients begin to notice brighter, more even skin within the first few weeks, while continued improvements in pigmentation, skin clarity, and overall texture develop over the following months. Consistent use of the recommended skincare products and daily broad-spectrum SPF 50 sun protection is essential to maintain results and minimise the risk of future pigmentation recurrence.
Make the most of your appointment
Before your appointment
Cosmelan is a powerful depigmentation treatment that requires careful preparation to ensure safe and effective results. A complimentary consultation with your practitioner is required prior to treatment to assess your skin type, pigmentation concerns, and suitability for the procedure. Your practitioner will create a tailored preparation plan to help you achieve the best possible outcome.
2 weeks prior to treatment:
- Avoid excessive sun exposure and always wear a broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen daily
- Avoid retinoids, vitamin A-based products, and prescription skin treatments
- Avoid chemical peels, microneedling, laser treatments, and IPL on the face
- Avoid waxing, threading, and depilatory creams on the treatment area
1 week prior to treatment:
- Avoid AHAs, BHAs, and any exfoliating acids
- Discontinue use of active skincare ingredients including vitamin C serums and exfoliating toners
- Avoid cosmetic injectables and any other facial treatments
3 days prior to treatment:
- Arrive with clean skin, free from makeup, SPF, and skincare products
- Avoid alcohol consumption as it can increase skin sensitivity
Days 1–3
- Expect redness, tightness, and sensitivity — this is a normal part of the skin renewal process.
- Cleanse gently twice daily using a mild, fragrance-free cleanser recommended by your practitioner.
- Apply the prescribed Cosmelan homecare products as directed — do not substitute with other skincare.
- Do not pick, scratch, or forcefully remove any peeling skin.
- Apply SPF 50 broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning and reapply every 2 hours if outdoors.
- Avoid makeup during the initial healing phase.
Days 4–7
- Visible peeling and flaking may occur — allow the skin to shed naturally.
- Continue using your prescribed homecare routine consistently.
- Avoid active ingredients including retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, and vitamin C until advised by your practitioner.
- Keep the skin cool — avoid saunas, steam rooms, hot showers, and strenuous exercise.
From Week 2 onwards
- Skin will begin to appear brighter and more even as pigmentation gradually fades.
- Continue your prescribed homecare programme consistently for optimal long-term results.
- Reintroduce gentle skincare actives only when advised by your practitioner.
- Maintain strict daily SPF 50 sun protection — this is essential to prevent pigmentation recurrence.
For optimum results, we recommend following the complete Cosmelan homecare programme as prescribed by your practitioner without interruption. Consistent daily use of the recommended products and strict SPF 50 sun protection are the most important factors in achieving and maintaining your results.
Top tip:
Pair your Cosmelan treatment with regular LED Light Therapy sessions to calm inflammation, support skin healing, and accelerate the brightening process. Yellow and red LED wavelengths are particularly beneficial for reducing post-treatment redness and supporting skin renewal at a cellular level.
Protecting your results long-term requires a consistent and disciplined approach to sun protection. Even brief, unprotected sun exposure can trigger melanin production and cause pigmentation to return. Make SPF 50 application a non-negotiable part of your daily routine, regardless of the season or weather conditions.
ABOUTCosmelan
Cosmelan is one of the most clinically advanced and effective professional depigmentation treatments available today. Developed to target excess melanin production at its source, Cosmelan works by inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase — which is responsible for triggering melanin synthesis — resulting in a visible and lasting reduction in pigmentation across a wide range of skin types and tones.
Unlike surface-level brightening treatments, Cosmelan addresses the root cause of pigmentation, making it highly effective for conditions such as melasma, sun damage, age spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from acne or injury, and hormonally induced pigmentation.
The treatment combines an in-clinic Cosmelan mask application with a carefully structured professional homecare programme, working together to deliver comprehensive skin renewal, improved clarity, and a visibly brighter, more uniform complexion over time.
Targets pigmentation at the source
Cosmelan works by inhibiting tyrosinase activity, reducing excess melanin production from within and delivering lasting depigmentation results that go beyond surface-level brightening.
Suitable for all skin types and tones
Unlike many pigmentation treatments, Cosmelan is formulated to be effective and safe across a wide range of skin tones, including darker skin types that are often more prone to pigmentation concerns.
Comprehensive skin renewal
Alongside visible pigmentation reduction, Cosmelan promotes skin cell turnover, improves overall skin texture, and leaves the complexion smoother, clearer, and more radiant over time.
Long-lasting results with proper maintenance
With consistent use of the prescribed homecare products and daily broad-spectrum SPF 50 sun protection, the results achieved with Cosmelan can be maintained and built upon over the long term.
How It Works
Your practitioner will assess your skin type, pigmentation concerns, and medical history to confirm your suitability for Cosmelan and create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your skin goals.
The Cosmelan depigmentation mask is professionally applied in the clinic and left on the skin for a prescribed period. The mask contains a targeted blend of active ingredients that begin working immediately to regulate melanin production.
Following your in-clinic appointment, you will remove the mask at home according to your practitioner's instructions. Your skin will begin a natural renewal process, with visible peeling and flaking as the pigmented skin cells shed and fresh, clearer skin emerges.
Your prescribed Cosmelan homecare products continue the depigmentation process at home, regulating melanin activity, supporting skin renewal, and progressively improving skin clarity, tone, and texture over the following weeks and months.
