Cosmelan is a professional facial pigmentation programme from Mesoestetic. It combines a professionally applied in-clinic mask with prescribed homecare and professional follow-up.

Cosmelan can cause visible renewal and peeling, but it is better described as a multi-phase depigmentation programme than a simple one-off chemical peel.

Melasma is one form of hyperpigmentation and Cosmelan is commonly discussed for its appearance. Suitability is individual, and melasma can recur because triggers such as ultraviolet exposure, visible light and hormonal influence may remain.

Mesoestetic states that the professional may advise an acting time between six and eight hours. Your exact removal time must be personalised and confirmed by your practitioner.

Redness, warmth, tightness, sensitivity, dryness and peeling can occur. Intensity and duration vary, so work, travel and important events should be discussed during consultation.

Pigmentation can return because the underlying triggers may remain, particularly with melasma and sun-related discolouration. Consistent homecare and daily photoprotection are important parts of longer-term control.

Mesoestetic states that Cosmelan should be performed at an authorised centre with professional follow-up. Dermacy Clinic is listed on the official Mesoestetic UK centre finder for professional depigmentation treatments.

The skin analyser can support visual review of pigmentation patterns, UV-related changes, redness, pores and texture. Your practitioner interprets the images in context rather than relying on an automated result alone.

No. A cosmetic consultation cannot diagnose a lesion, and new, changing, raised, bleeding, itching or otherwise unusual pigmented marks require appropriate medical assessment before cosmetic treatment.

Dermacy can combine standardised photographs, selected skin-analysis views, dated practitioner notes, treatment response, homecare adherence and follow-up recommendations. The exact record depends on the selected programme.

Yes. Repeated irritation, friction or inflammation after waxing, threading, shaving or other hair-removal methods can leave post-inflammatory pigmentation. The active trigger and current skin condition should be reviewed before treatment.

Treatment may need to be postponed when skin is inflamed, infected, broken, recovering from another procedure, or when unavoidable sun exposure makes aftercare unrealistic. Final timing is confirmed at consultation.

The home phase is central to the programme. Stopping or changing products without guidance may affect progress and longer-term pigment control, so contact the clinic before altering the prescribed routine.

Different skin tones can be assessed, but suitability is individual. Pigmentation pattern, sensitivity, previous reactions, medication, current skin condition and the ability to follow aftercare all matter.

Dermacy Clinic publishes the £1,100 Method as the professional treatment with a focused homecare kit, while the £2,300 System includes preparation, extended products, an additional professional peel and six months of follow-up.

Cosmelan may be considered for selected post-inflammatory dark marks after acne, but flat pigmentation is different from indented or raised acne scarring. Active acne and irritation may need to be managed first.

It may be considered where sun-related pigmentation or age spots contribute to uneven facial tone. Assessment is still required because not every brown mark is suitable for cosmetic pigmentation treatment.
