Cosmelan Depigmentation Peel originated in Spain and is designed to reduce skin discoloration and hyperpigmentation.
The Cosmelan treatment consists of a two phased approach that is compatible with all skin types / skin colours and can be used all year round.
This treatment reduces the skin’s natural production of melanin which creates your skin tone and dark spotty tissues. The treatment can be used not only on facial areas but also on legs, hands and abdomen.
We recommend an initial free consultation to determine suitability and to answer any of your questions you may have about this treatment.

How Does Cosmelan Work?
In simple terms, Cosmelan performs two main actions to reduce hyperpigmentation.
Firstly, Cosmelan exfoliates the skin to an even skin tone by removing layers of dead skin cells that have built up over time (the peel).
Secondly, Cosmelan will then inhibit the production of melanin which is responsible for creating the color/tone of your skin and is the root cause of dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
The active ingredients are highly effective yet surprisingly gentle on the skin to ensure that you experience great results that are comfortable and pain free.
