A powerful treatment for stubborn pigmentation
At Hestia, we understand how complex and personal pigmentation concerns can be. Cosmelan® is a world-leading depigmentation peel designed to safely and effectively reduce the appearance of melasma, sun spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone, even in the most resistant cases.
This two-phase treatment begins with an in-clinic peel, followed by a carefully prescribed at-home skincare protocol lasting 6 months. Together, these steps work to suppress melanin production at the source, helping to reset and regulate your skin’s pigment cycle for long-lasting clarity and improvement.
Clinically proven and medical-grade, Cosmelan® is suitable for all skin types and tones. Results are often visible within weeks, with continued improvement over time.
As with all advanced treatments at Hestia, your journey begins with a thorough skin consultation and analysis to ensure Cosmelan® is right for you, and that the process is fully supported at every step.
Book a ConsultationHow does Cosmelan work?
Cosmelan® is more than just a peel. It’s a comprehensive depigmentation system that works on multiple levels to correct and regulate your skin’s pigment production.
At the core of concerns like melasma, sun spots and post-inflammatory pigmentation is an overproduction of melanin. Cosmelan® addresses this by using a blend of powerful, medical-grade actives that inhibit tyrosinase, the key enzyme involved in melanin synthesis, helping to reduce existing pigmentation and prevent it from returning.
By treating both the visible pigmentation and its root cause, Cosmelan® offers long-lasting improvements in skin clarity, tone and texture. Results are often visible within the first few weeks and continue to improve over time.
Targeting pigmentation at its root
The treatment is delivered in two phases:
Phase 1: In Clinic
Your journey begins with a professional-strength mask applied in clinic. This is left on for a prescribed number of hours, tailored to your skin type and level of pigmentation. This phase initiates the depigmentation process by gently resurfacing the skin and breaking down existing pigment.
Phase 2: At Home
Once the mask is removed, you’ll begin a personalised at-home regime that continues for up to 6 months. This phase is essential for maintaining and building on your results. It works by regulating ongoing melanin production and supporting skin regeneration using active ingredients such as azelaic acid, kojic acid, arbutin and phytic acid.
Clinic Support:
To ensure optimal results and ongoing support, we’ll invite you back to clinic periodically for a full skin analysis and review of your progress. These check-ins allow us to monitor your skin’s response, make any necessary adjustments, and guide you through each stage of the programme with expert care.

Cosmelan® FAQs
The most significant change will likely take place a few weeks after your in clinic application of the mask.
However, this can give a misleading feeling of success, as it is important to continue with the at home treatment as indicated by the professional as this is the second phase of the cosmelan method.
Yes cosmelan treatment is suitable for all skin types and tones.
Cosmelan can be used at any time of the year, though it is advisable to do it at times when sun exposure is not so intense or prolonged, such as the winter and autumn.
In case you live in a hot region or apply the treatment during summer, you must take greater care and use a very high sunscreen, such as melan 130 pigment control and avoid completely very intense and prolonged sun exposure.
Cosmelan is specifically formulated to treat pigmentation concerns such as melasma, sun damage, age spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone. It can also help improve overall skin texture and brightness.
