COSMELAN® - THE WORLD’S NO.1 DEPIGMENTATION TREATMENT

Erase years of stubborn pigmentation, melasma, sun damage, age spots and uneven tone with the industry’s gold standard. Science-backed, results-driven and loved by skin experts worldwide.

If skin pigmentation has been affecting your confidence for months or years, you’ve probably tried creams, treatments, and many quick fixes that never provided the results you expected. Cosmelan is different. It’s not a surface treatment or a temporary brightener, it’s a professionally supervised depigmentation protocol that resets the cells that produce excess melanin, so old patches fade and new ones stop forming. For anyone searching for “pigmentation treatments in Bristol”, this is one worth knowing.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Pigmentation starts at a cellular level. Certain skin cells called melanocytes go into overdrive, producing pigment that pools into patches we see as sun/age spots, melasma or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Cosmelan interrupts that process.

The treatment begins with a highly concentrated professional solution that is applied in clinic and left on for a prescribed period of several hours - it's important to make sure you have no plans during this period. That solution contains a blend of depigmenting agents that reduce melanin production and calm the pigment-triggering pathways. Once removed, the real work continues at home with a controlled skincare protocol. The combination of in-clinic application and carefully managed at-home maintenance is what makes Cosmelan so reliable: we reduce existing pigmentation and we then help stop new pigment from forming. Unlike peels that just exfoliate the surface, Cosmelan regulates pigment production deep within the skin.

WHY IS COSMELAN DIFFERENT?

Many pigmentation treatments focus on exfoliation or thermal injury to fade dark spots. Those are helpful, but they don’t always prevent new pigmentation from developing. Cosmelan actively calms melanocytes rather than simply removing the visible pigment. That’s why it’s considered one of the most effective options for melasma and stubborn hyperpigmentation, and why it’s a go-to in clinics that treat pigmentation seriously.

Cosmelan is particularly effective for:

• Melasma
• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (scarring from acne or injury)
• Sun spots and age spots
• Uneven tone following pregnancy

During your consultation in Bristol we’ll assess your skin type, the depth and age of your pigmentation, and your lifestyle factors, things like sun exposure and skincare habits, to confirm whether Cosmelan is the right route for you.

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER TREATMENT

Expect visible change within the first week and stronger improvement over the following 4–8 weeks. The skin will go through a predictable phase of redness, flaking and renewal - this is normal and a sign the treatment is working. There will be some downtime in terms of visible peeling and sensitivity, but it’s manageable and temporary. Most clients say the first week is the most intense, followed by a steady, satisfying improvement.

WHY CHOOSE THE HAMPTON CLINIC FOR YOUR COSMELAN IN BRISTOL

We've been treating pigmentation every day for over 10 years and we understand the nuance. Cosmelan is a precise protocol and it deserves experienced care and careful follow-up. At The Hampton Clinic you’ll receive a full assessment, a detailed aftercare plan and scheduled check-ins with our practitioners. Our priority is your safety and long lasting results.

What time of year is best for Cosmelan?

Cosmelan can be performed year-round, but many people choose autumn or winter to reduce sun exposure during the healing period. Protecting your skin from UV light after treatment is essential.

Which skin types can have Cosmelan?

Cosmelan is suitable for all skin types and tones, making it one of the most versatile pigmentation treatments available. Your practitioner will assess your skin in detail to make sure it’s the right option for you.

How long does it take to see results?

Most clients notice visible improvement in as little as one to three weeks after treatment, with continued progress over the following months. The skin appears brighter, more even-toned, and smoother.

Is there any downtime?

You can expect some redness, peeling, and dryness in the first week after treatment as your skin renews. This is a normal and important part of the process. Your practitioner will provide a full aftercare plan.

How long do the results last?

With the right skincare routine and sun protection, results are long-lasting. Pigmentation can reoccur due to sun exposure, hormonal changes or skin injury, so ongoing yearly maintenance is recommended.

Can Cosmelan be used alongside other treatments?

Yes, Cosmelan can complement other professional treatments, but timing is important to avoid overloading the skin. Your practitioner will guide you on the safest schedule.

Is Cosmelan painful?

Most people describe a mild stinging or warming sensation during mask application. After that, any temporary tightness or redness is managed with the aftercare products provided.
