What is Cosmelan and how does it work?
Cosmelan® is Mesoestetic’s professional depigmentation programme for melasma, hyperpigmentation, dark spots and uneven skin tone. We apply the Cosmelan mask in clinic, you continue with prescribed home products, and your pigmentation fades over the following weeks.
It is not a facial and not a one-off peel. It works in two ways: it fades the pigment you can see, and it slows the pigment that keeps coming back.
Fades the dark patches you can see
The clinic mask and your home products work on existing pigmentation.
Slows new pigment
The home programme calms the overactive pigment production behind melasma.
Keeps your result
Daily SPF and a simple maintenance plan help your clearer skin last.

Cosmelan® mask + home programme
Applied in clinic, continued at home, checked at every review.
Pigmentation concerns we treat with Cosmelan
If it is brown, patchy and on your face, there is a good chance Cosmelan is the answer. These are the hyperpigmentation concerns we treat most often.
Brown or grey-brown patches on the cheeks, forehead or upper lip
Melasma is the concern Cosmelan is best known for. Hormonal changes such as pregnancy or the pill, sun, heat and visible light can all trigger it, which is why creams alone rarely shift it. We fade the patches and give you a plan to keep them down.
Melasma can return, so we plan your maintenance from day one.Dark marks left after spots, picking or irritation
The spot has gone but the mark has not: this is post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Cosmelan fades these flat brown marks and evens out the skin around them.
For flat marks. If acne is still active, we calm it first.Sun spots, age spots and sun-damaged tone
Years of sun show up as brown spots and a dull, uneven complexion. Cosmelan lightens the spots and brings back a more even tone.
Daily SPF keeps them from coming back.Freckles that spread or darken in the sun
If your freckles have spread or darkened, Cosmelan softens them and evens out the skin between them.
We will tell you honestly if your freckles do not need treating.Dark areas after waxing, threading or shaving
Years of hair removal can leave a shadow on the upper lip, chin or jaw. Cosmelan fades the darkness.
Ask about laser hair removal to stop the irritation that caused it.Patchy, dull or uneven skin tone
No single spot, just skin that looks uneven or tired. Cosmelan brightens and evens the whole complexion.
Your skin scan shows whether pigment is the cause.We check new or changing marks first
Any mark that is new, changing, raised, bleeding or itching is checked before cosmetic treatment, and we refer you to a doctor if needed.

Cosmelan treatment and recovery timeline
Exactly what happens, from your first scan to your final review, including the few days of redness and peeling to plan around.
We plan your treatment around your skin
We look at your pigmentation, skin history and current products, then tell you exactly what to expect before you book.
A 45-minute consultation with an AI skin scan, standard photos and a full skin assessment. We go through medicines, skincare, recent treatments and important dates.
Nothing to recover from: no treatment is done today. You leave knowing whether Cosmelan is right for you and which programme to choose.
Bring a list of your medicines and skincare. Tell us about pregnancy, breastfeeding, past reactions, holidays and events.
We apply the mask, you remove it at home
Cosmelan 1 is applied in clinic. You go home wearing it and remove it at the exact time we give you.
We prepare your skin, apply the professional mask and confirm your personal removal time, usually 6 to 8 hours.
The mask is visible on your way home. After removal your skin may feel warm, tight or sensitive.
Follow your written instructions exactly: do not remove it early, leave it on longer or add other products.
Your skin starts to renew
This is when most clients have questions, so we explain it all in advance.
Your home phase begins at the time we confirm, usually 48 to 72 hours after the mask.
Redness, warmth, tightness, dryness and light peeling are normal. This is the treatment working.
Use only your supplied products, do not pick or exfoliate, keep out of heat and strong sun, and wear your SPF.
Your skin settles and starts to clear
Day by day your skin calms down and the pigmentation begins to lift.
Your home products carry on the work the clinic mask started, and we check how your skin is responding.
Dryness and light peeling come and go. Some days feel calmer than others.
No new acids, scrubs or actives. Follow any changes your practitioner gives you and keep up your SPF.
The pigment keeps fading
Cosmelan is around a six-month programme, and your skin keeps improving while you follow the home phase.
Your home routine continues and changes as you progress. We compare your new scans with your first ones.
Steady, gradual change. Some areas clear sooner than others, and sun and heat can still bring pigment back.
Keep using your products and SPF even when you love the result, and talk to us before changing anything.
You are never on your own
You get your removal time and home routine in writing, and a direct line to the clinic. If anything feels different from what we told you, we will see you.
AI-powered skin analysis for pigmentation: proof of your progress
The mirror cannot show what is under the surface, and memory cannot tell you how far you have come. Our skin analyser can.
At your consultation we scan your skin under different lights to map your pigmentation, including spots not visible yet. At every review we repeat the scan, so your progress is shown, not guessed. The scan supports your practitioner’s assessment; it is not a medical diagnosis.
A clear starting point
Your first scan records your skin exactly as it is before treatment.
The full picture
We see pigment alongside UV damage, redness, pores and texture, so your plan treats the cause.
Progress side by side
We repeat the same views at your reviews and show you the difference.
£30 for your AI skin scan, a full skin assessment and your personal Cosmelan plan. Free when you go ahead with any treatment.
Find the right pigmentation consultation route
Answer four quick questions and we will show you the best way to start.
Take the 1-minute skin quiz+
Which description feels closest to what you see?
You do not need to know the medical name. Choose the closest match and your practitioner can confirm what is actually causing the colour change.
How is your skin feeling at the moment?
This helps us understand whether your skin looks ready for an intensive pigmentation programme or may need support first.
What is coming up in your diary?
Cosmelan can involve redness, sensitivity and peeling, so the timing needs to work for your lifestyle.
How would the home routine fit into your life?
The clinic mask starts the treatment, but daily homecare and photoprotection are a major part of the Cosmelan method.

Your most suitable starting point will be highlighted, but you can open any route to understand the options before booking.

Cosmelan, melasma and pigmentation FAQs
Clear answers covering the treatment, melasma, hyperpigmentation, dark marks, recovery, prices and suitability.
Cosmelan is Mesoestetic’s professional depigmentation programme. We apply the Cosmelan mask in clinic, you continue with prescribed home products, and your melasma, hyperpigmentation, dark spots and uneven tone fade over the following weeks.
Not exactly. You will see some peeling, but Cosmelan is a full depigmentation programme: a professional mask plus months of home treatment that fade pigment and slow it coming back.
Yes. Melasma is what Cosmelan is best known for. Hormones, sun and heat can bring melasma back, so your programme includes a maintenance plan to keep it under control.
Usually 6 to 8 hours, as advised by Mesoestetic. You go home wearing it and remove it at the exact time your practitioner sets for your skin.
Expect redness, tightness, dryness and light peeling, mostly in the first one to two weeks. We plan your treatment date around work, holidays and events at your consultation.
Because the triggers, such as sun, heat and hormones, are still there. Your home products, daily SPF and maintenance plan keep the pigment under control.
Mesoestetic says Cosmelan should be carried out at an authorised centre with professional follow-up. Dermacy Clinic is listed on the official Mesoestetic UK centre finder, so you get the genuine protocol and products.
It maps your pigmentation, UV damage, redness, pores and texture under different lights, including pigment not yet visible to the eye. We repeat it at your reviews to show your progress side by side.
No. New, changing, raised, bleeding or itchy marks must be checked medically first. We look at every mark at your consultation and refer you if needed.
With standard photos, AI skin scans and practitioner notes at your consultation and every review, all saved in your Dermacy client record so you can see how far you have come.
Yes. Waxing, threading and shaving can irritate the skin and leave dark areas. Cosmelan fades them, and laser hair removal can stop the irritation that caused them.
If your skin is inflamed, infected, broken or recovering from another treatment, or if you cannot avoid strong sun. We choose the right date with you at your consultation.
The home phase does much of the work, so stopping early can slow your progress or let pigment return. Talk to us before you change anything.
Cosmelan can be used across skin tones. We assess your skin type, sensitivity and history at your consultation to plan it safely for you.
The £1,100 Cosmelan Method is the professional treatment with a six-week home kit. The £2,300 Cosmelan System adds a month of preparation, an extra professional peel, a six-month home programme and six months of follow-up consultations.
Yes. Flat brown marks left after acne, known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), respond well. Indented or raised scars need a different treatment, and active acne is calmed first.
Yes. Cosmelan lightens sun spots and age spots and evens out sun-damaged skin. We check every mark at your consultation first.
