If you have spent years layering brightening serums over stubborn patches of pigmentation with little to show for it, you are in familiar company. Melasma, post-inflammatory pigmentation and sun-induced dark spots are among the most common concerns we see in clinic, and among the most resistant to home skincare. This is exactly the problem Cosmelan was designed to solve.

In short:

Cosmelan is a professional, months-long depigmentation programme, not a one-off treatment.
It suits melasma, sun damage and post-inflammatory pigmentation across a wide range of skin tones.
Success depends on the home maintenance phase and daily SPF as much as the in-clinic mask.
It is delivered under CQC-regulated medical supervision at Haus of Ästhetik, Bakewell.

What is Cosmelan?

Cosmelan, developed by mesoestetic, is one of the most widely used professional depigmentation methods in clinics around the world. It works by targeting the process that produces excess melanin, combining an intensive in-clinic mask with a structured programme of home maintenance products over several months. Rather than bleaching the skin, it regulates overactive pigment production and helps prevent the pigmentation from returning.

Who is it suitable for?

Cosmelan can be considered for melasma, sun damage, uneven skin tone and post-inflammatory pigmentation, and it is used across a wide range of skin types and tones. Suitability is always confirmed at a medical consultation: we assess your skin, your history and your triggers (including hormonal factors and sun exposure) and give you an honest view of the results you can realistically expect. Depigmentation is a months-long process, and commitment to the home phase and daily SPF matters as much as the in-clinic treatment.

What does treatment involve?

Your journey starts with a consultation and skin assessment. The in-clinic phase involves application of the Cosmelan mask, which you remove at home after a set number of hours. Over the following weeks the skin renews, and the maintenance phase begins with a simple daily routine that keeps pigment production regulated. We review you at set intervals through the programme, and photodynamic LED therapy can support skin recovery alongside.

Why have it done at a CQC-regulated clinic?

Depigmentation treatments are powerful, and outcomes depend on correct patient selection, preparation and aftercare. At Haus of Ästhetik every Cosmelan programme is delivered by registered healthcare professionals within a CQC-regulated governance framework: full medical consultation, documented consent, genuine mesoestetic products and structured follow-up reviews. As a Save Face-accredited clinic in Bakewell, we welcome patients from across the Peak District, Chesterfield, Sheffield, Matlock and Buxton.

Frequently asked questions

Is there any downtime? Expect some redness, tightness and light flaking in the first few days as the skin renews. Most people manage this around normal life, and we guide you through aftercare at every step.

How soon will I see a difference? Many people notice tone becoming more even over the first few weeks, with fuller results developing across the following months as the maintenance phase does its work. Individual results vary.

Will the pigmentation come back? Pigmentation can be kept under control with the maintenance routine and daily SPF, though triggers such as sun and hormones can cause it to return. That is why the home phase matters so much, and we keep this honest at your consultation.
