What is Cosmelan treatment?
Cosmelan combines an in-clinic mask with several months of prescribed home care. The aim is to reduce the appearance of pigmentation and help manage its return. Following the home routine and protecting your skin from the sun are important parts of the treatment; results vary, and pigmentation can recur.
Pigmentation can have different causes. Sun exposure, hormonal changes and inflammation may all play a part, so a consultation helps us understand the marks you want to address and set realistic expectations. You can also read more about pigmentation concerns.
What happens during Cosmelan treatment?
1. Consultation and skin assessment
Your practitioner reviews your pigmentation, skin condition, relevant health history and current skincare. They explain the treatment, likely skin reactions and the home-care commitment before recommending a plan.
2. In-clinic mask application
The Cosmelan mask is applied at the clinic. You leave it on for the period specified by your practitioner, then remove it at home exactly as instructed. The removal time must be confirmed for your individual treatment plan.
3. Guided home care
You begin the products and routine provided by your practitioner. Redness, sensitivity and peeling can occur, particularly early in treatment. Your practitioner will explain what to expect and whom to contact if you are concerned.
4. Review and ongoing protection
Your practitioner reviews your progress and adjusts the home routine where appropriate. Continue the recommended sun protection and aftercare: visible improvement does not mean the treatment programme is complete, and pigmentation may return.
How does Cosmelan treatment work?
Cosmelan is a treatment programme for certain types of pigmentation. It starts with a professional mask at the clinic and continues with practitioner-guided skincare at home. The home routine is an essential part of the process.
| Treatment stage | What happens | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Skin assessment | At NewLife Aesthetics in Raynes Park, Wimbledon, your practitioner assesses your pigmentation, skin condition and relevant treatment history before recommending a plan. | Dark marks can have different causes. Assessment helps establish whether Cosmelan is appropriate and what results are realistic for your skin. |
| 2. In-clinic mask | Your practitioner applies the Cosmelan mask in the clinic and explains precisely when and how to remove it at home. | This professional stage begins the process of reducing the visible appearance of excess pigmentation. |
| 3. Home-care routine | You follow the skincare schedule provided by your practitioner. The products and frequency may change as your skin responds. | Continued home care helps manage pigment production after the initial mask. Stopping early may affect the outcome. |
| 4. Review & protection | Your practitioner reviews your progress and advises on ongoing skincare and sun protection. | Pigmentation can return, particularly with sun exposure. Consistent aftercare helps maintain the improvement achieved. |

Cosmelan treatment FAQs
Frequently asked questions about Cosmelan
Clear answers about pigmentation, treatment suitability, home care and what to expect at NewLife Aesthetics in Raynes Park, Wimbledon.
What types of pigmentation can Cosmelan help with?
Cosmelan is used for certain types of excess pigmentation caused by melanin, including melasma, sun-related dark patches and marks left after inflammation, such as post-acne marks. Different marks can look similar, so your practitioner will assess your skin before recommending treatment. Read more about pigmentation concerns .
Can Cosmelan help with melasma?
Cosmelan may help reduce the visible appearance of melasma, but improvement varies and melasma can return. A consultation is important because the pattern and possible triggers of your pigmentation affect the treatment advice and aftercare you receive.
Is Cosmelan suitable for every skin tone?
Cosmelan may be considered for a range of skin tones, but suitability should never be assumed from skin tone alone. Your practitioner will assess your pigmentation, skin sensitivity, current products and relevant health history, then explain any risks or reasons to choose a different approach.
What happens during the in-clinic appointment?
Following your assessment, your practitioner applies the professional Cosmelan mask and explains your home-care plan. You remove the mask at home at the time specified for your treatment. Follow your practitioner's instructions rather than a general timing found online.
Why is the Cosmelan home-care routine important?
The in-clinic mask is only the beginning of the programme. Your practitioner-guided products continue the treatment at home and help manage pigmentation as your skin changes. Stopping the routine early can affect the outcome, even if your skin already looks clearer. Use products only as directed and contact the clinic if you are unsure how to adjust your routine.
When might I see a change in my pigmentation?
Some people notice a change in the first few weeks, but the recommended home programme continues for months. The timing and extent of improvement vary with the pigmentation, skin response and consistency of aftercare. Your practitioner will discuss realistic expectations at your consultation.
Will my skin peel or feel sensitive after Cosmelan?
Redness, dryness, peeling and sensitivity can occur, particularly early in the treatment. Your practitioner will explain the reactions to expect and how to care for your skin. Contact NewLife Aesthetics if a reaction concerns you or seems more severe than the guidance you were given.
Can pigmentation return after Cosmelan treatment?
Yes. Cosmelan does not guarantee that pigmentation will disappear permanently. Sun exposure and other underlying triggers can contribute to its return. Following the recommended home-care routine and using appropriate sun protection are important for maintaining your results.
Can I combine Cosmelan with other skin treatments?
Tell your practitioner about recent or planned peels, laser treatments, injectables and active skincare before starting Cosmelan. The safe interval and appropriate treatment plan depend on your skin and the procedures involved. Your practitioner can advise whether another option, such as a chemical peel , is better suited to your concern.
