Cosmelan Peel London - Pigmentation Treatment Marylebone
The Cosmelan peel is our gold-standard treatment for melasma, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and uneven skin tone. At Mesglo Aesthetic Clinic Marylebone, London, we use the professional two-phase Cosmelan protocol — in-clinic mask application followed by a personalised home-care regime — to inhibit melanin production at the source and deliver a visibly clearer, more even complexion.
Price: From £650 | Duration: 60-90 minutes | Results: Visible improvement in 2-4 weeks
How Cosmelan Works
Cosmelan is a two-phase treatment. The first phase involves the professional application of the Cosmelan mask at our clinic, which is left on for a prescribed period. The second phase involves a home-care regime using Cosmelan 2 cream to maintain and enhance results. The treatment inhibits melanin production at the source while accelerating the removal of existing pigmentation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Cosmelan peel suitable for dark skin?
Yes, Cosmelan is one of the few professional depigmenting treatments that is safe and effective for all skin types, including Fitzpatrick skin types IV-VI.
What is the recovery time?
Expect 5-7 days of peeling and redness following the initial application. Full results develop over 2-4 weeks as the skin renews and pigmentation fades.
Is Cosmelan Peel Right for You?
- Best suited for
- Melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), sun spots, and uneven skin tone. Safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types including darker skin tones. Ideal for persistent pigmentation that has not responded to topical treatments.
- Not suitable for
- This treatment may not be suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with active skin infection, or if you cannot commit to the required daily home care regime for several months after treatment. Suitability is confirmed at consultation.
- Possible side effects
- Possible side effects vary depending on individual response. Redness, peeling, and sensitivity are expected during the initial 5–7 day recovery period. Temporary post-treatment sensitivity to sun exposure is common. Rahena will discuss your individual risk profile and aftercare requirements at consultation.
- Consultation required
- Rahena will assess suitability, pigmentation type, medical history, and skin condition before recommending any treatment. The correct at-home maintenance protocol will be prescribed and explained at your appointment.
- Alternatives to consider
- For superficial pigmentation, lighter skin peels or the Messenger Peel may be more appropriate. For combined results, Cosmelan is often followed by microneedling or mesotherapy brightening protocols. Compare options in our Cosmelan vs chemical peels guide.
Complementary Treatments
For comprehensive pigmentation management, Cosmelan is often combined with microneedling to improve post-peel skin texture, or followed by mesotherapy brightening cocktails for maintenance. Those with acne-related pigmentation may also benefit from our Messenger Peel. See our full guide: How to Treat Pigmentation: The Complete London Guide.
