About Cosmelan

What is Cosmelan and how does it work?

Cosmelan is a professional depigmentation method developed by mesoestetic, a globally recognised name in aesthetic medicine. It is not an over-the-counter brightening product and it is not a standard chemical peel. It is a clinical protocol, available only through trained practitioners, that targets pigmentation at its source.

Its effectiveness comes from a dual action. The corrective phase breaks down and removes existing melanin deposits sitting within the skin. The regulatory phase then works to control the enzyme activity responsible for overproducing melanin, which is what causes pigmentation to return time and again.

Cosmelan is suitable for all skin types and phototypes, including deeper skin tones that carry a higher risk of rebound pigmentation with more aggressive treatments. For many of our clients across Devon, it represents the first approach that has produced a lasting change.

Treatable Conditions

What can be treated with Cosmelan?

Cosmelan is used to address a range of pigmentation concerns, including:

Melasma

Decades of UV exposure leave their mark, even in Devon. Solar lentigines, sun spots and general unevenness across the face all respond well to the Cosmelan method.

Sun Damage & Age Spots

Decades of UV exposure leave their mark, even in Devon. Solar lentigines, sun spots and general unevenness across the face all respond well to the Cosmelan method.

Post-Inflamation Hyperpigmentation

The dark marks left behind after acne, ingrown hairs or injury can take a year or more to fade on their own. Cosmelan accelerates that process considerably.

Uneven Skin Tone & Dulness

Beyond distinct patches, Cosmelan improves overall clarity, brightness and texture, which is why many clients describe their skin as looking fresher rather than simply lighter.

Step 1

Your Consultation

Every Cosmelan journey begins with a full skin consultation at our Newton Abbot clinic. Your practitioner will assess the type, depth and cause of your pigmentation, review your medical history and confirm whether Cosmelan is the right choice. Some clients are better served by laser, peels or a prescribed skincare regime, and we will tell you so.

Step 2

Your In-Clinic Session

Your skin is cleansed and prepared before the Cosmelan 1 mask is applied. The session takes under an hour. You then return home with the mask in place, leaving it to work for the length of time your practitioner specifies, which is tailored to your skin type and the severity of your pigmentation. You rinse it away at home and begin your aftercare.

Step 3

Your Home Care Protocol

This phase runs over several months and is not optional. Using the Cosmelan maintenance cream alongside soothing and protective products, you’ll follow a structured routine that gradually reduces in frequency as your skin settles. 

This is the part of the method that regulates melanin production and protects your investment. Our clients who follow it closely see the strongest and most durable results.

Step 4

Your Review Appointment

We schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, adjust your protocol and make sure your skin stays comfortable throughout.

Cosmelan Treatment FAQs

How much does Cosmelan cost in Exeter?

Cosmelan at House of Skincare starts from £XXX, which includes your in-clinic session and your home care products. Because the protocol is tailored to your skin, we confirm exact pricing at your consultation.

Most clients notice visible brightening within two to four weeks of their in-clinic session. Pigmentation continues to fade over the following months as the home protocol takes effect, with the fullest results typically seen at around the six-month mark.
The mask application itself is not painful. Most clients describe a warm or tingling sensation that builds over the hours the mask is in place, along with tightness. This settles once the mask is removed and the aftercare products are applied.
Your practitioner will specify the exact time based on your skin type, tone and the severity of your pigmentation. You will leave the clinic with the mask in place and remove it at home at the time agreed.
Yes. Cosmelan is suitable for all skin types and phototypes, and it is often recommended for deeper skin tones because it does not carry the same rebound pigmentation risk as some more aggressive resurfacing treatments.
Melasma is a chronic condition, so no treatment can guarantee permanent removal. What Cosmelan does exceptionally well is reduce existing pigmentation and regulate the melanin overproduction that causes it. With continued home care and daily SPF, results can be maintained for a long time.
Expect redness for the first couple of days and peeling from around day three to day five. Many clients continue as normal, though those with a client-facing role or a social occasion coming up often prefer to book during a quieter week.
We recommend avoiding make-up for the first 48 hours to let the skin settle. After that, mineral make-up can be applied gently, though we would always encourage you to prioritise your SPF.
Not in the conventional sense. Peeling occurs as part of the process, but Cosmelan is a depigmentation method rather than a resurfacing peel. Its purpose is to correct and regulate melanin production, not simply to exfoliate the surface.
The standard method involves a single in-clinic mask application followed by the home protocol. Some clients with very severe or long-standing pigmentation may benefit from a second application, which your practitioner will discuss with you at review.
Cosmelan can be carried out year round, but sun exposure directly undermines results. If you are treated during summer or have a holiday planned, diligent SPF use and sun avoidance become even more important.
House of Skincare offers Cosmelan at both our Exeter and Newton Abbot clinics, serving clients from across Devon and the wider South West.

Yes. All of our treatments are suitable for both men and women, and we regularly tailor plans for male skin concerns, whether that’s oiliness and congestion, sun damage and pigmentation, lines, or uneven texture.

Your consultation with an experienced skin specialist at House of Skincare (Newton Abbot, near Exeter) will assess your skin type, hair growth patterns, and lifestyle to create a results-driven plan that feels manageable and discreet. If you’re unsure where to start, book a consultation and we’ll guide you to the right treatment and timing for your goals.
