Cosmelan is a professional pigmentation removal treatment renowned for dramatically reducing hyperpigmentation, melasma, dark spots, and uneven skin tone. This advanced peel regulates melanin overproduction to reveal a clearer, brighter complexion while preventing future pigmentation.

What is Cosmelan and How Does It Work?
Cosmelan is a medical-grade chemical peel specifically designed to target excess pigmentation at its source. It contains an exclusive blend of active ingredients that act on all phases of melanin production. In simple terms, it breaks down existing pigment deposits (such as hyperpigmentation, dark spots, melasma patches and sun spots, also sun bed skin damage pigmentation) and inhibits the formation of new discoloration. The treatment involves an in-clinic application of the Cosmelan mask, which remains on the skin for several hours, followed by a dedicated at-home skincare regimen. This dual-action approach—intensive corrective and ongoing control—ensures both immediate improvement and long-term suppression of hyperpigmentation. It is important you note that the peel must stay on your skin around 10 hours! Yes, so make sure to book a morning slot so you do not need to sleep in the mask - it would also be best to avoid public transport…
While the price of professional treatments like Cosmelan may seem high at first glance, it's important to understand that you're investing in a medical-grade protocol with clinically proven results—not a beauty facial. Cosmelan isn’t just a one-off peel; it’s a comprehensive, prescription-strength treatment system that includes your full in-clinic procedure and an advanced aftercare kit designed to maintain and enhance results for 6 to 12 months. Unlike cheaper options that require multiple sessions over several months that add up to a large amount of money pretty quickly, Cosmelan delivers powerful results in just one treatment, saving you both time and long-term cost.
Additionally, the Cosmelan mask cannot legally or safely be purchased online and applied at home. There are many fake or diluted replicas circulating on the internet that not only won’t work—but could damage your skin. The authentic Cosmelan system is only available to licensed medical professionals and must be applied in a controlled clinical environment to ensure safety and success.
We are based in Bedford Town, Bedfordshire and Leicester City Centre, Leicestershire.

Cosmelan uses powerful melanin-blocking ingredients (like azelaic acid, kojic acid, arbutin and more) to halt the overproduction of pigment in your skin. At the same time, it accelerates cell turnover, exfoliating away the pigmented cells. This one-two punch eliminates existing dark spots and prevents new ones, treating the problem at the root. The result is a clearer complexion and long-term control of stubborn pigmentation.

Cosmelan is exceptionally effective for melasma (hormonal pigmentation often appearing as patches on cheeks or forehead), sun damage and age spots, sun bed pigmentation skin damage, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark marks left from acne or injury), and even freckles. Basically, any unwanted excess pigmentation on the face or even other areas (neck, décolletage) can be lightened with Cosmelan. It’s suitable for both women and men, and safe on all skin tones. (We have another treatment for intimate areas please ask)

The Cosmelan mask is generally well-tolerated – most clients feel a slight tingling or warmth when it’s first applied, but no significant pain. There is minimal downtime: you’ll have to wear the mask home and wash it off after the instructed hours. In the first week after, expect some redness, peeling, and dryness, similar to a sunburn peel. This is normal and indicates the old pigmented skin is shedding. You can usually resume normal activities, just looking a bit flaky. We’ll provide moisturiser and soothing cream to keep you comfortable. After the initial week or two, the peeling subsides greatly.

Many clients notice improvement as soon as 2 weeks post-treatment – patches of pigmentation start lightening and overall skin tone looks more even. The results continue to improve over 4-8 weeks, with optimal results around the 1 to 2-month mark once the full cycle of skin renewal has taken place. With proper maintenance (using your Cosmelan 2 cream as directed, sun protection, and occasional touch-ups if needed), results are long-lasting. Cosmelan’s protocol is designed to prevent pigmentation from returning, but it’s still important to avoid excessive sun and use SPF daily to protect your new, even skin.

Cosmelan is not just a one-time peel; it’s a complete depigmentation system. Unlike standard chemical peels that only exfoliate the surface, Cosmelan’s ingredients suppress the skin’s pigment process for an extended period, giving more sustained results. It’s also safe for all skin tones, whereas some lasers or strong peels carry risks of hyperpigmentation, especially for darker skin. Cosmelan has a low risk of causing a rebound effect (pigment returning darker), which can be a risk with lasers in melasma. Additionally, Cosmelan comes with a home-care regimen to enhance the outcome, making it more of a partnership in your skincare journey. If you’ve tried creams or even laser/IPL without success, Cosmelan could be the game-changer for achieving that clear, spot-free skin.
