Cosmelan in Hastings

Cosmelan® is a professional depigmentation treatment designed to target the underlying causes of pigmentation and uneven skin tone. The method works by regulating excess melanin production, helping to reduce the appearance of dark patches, discolouration and visible pigmentation on the face. It is suitable for a wide range of skin types and is commonly used to treat concerns such as melasma, sun damage and post-inflammatory pigmentation.

At La Cara Aesthetics in Hastings, I offer the Cosmelan® method as a structured programme combining an in-clinic treatment with a tailored home care phase. This phased approach allows pigmentation to be treated at its source while supporting long-term skin balance and tone. Treatment plans are personalised following consultation to ensure suitability, safety and the best possible outcome for your skin.

How Does Cosmelan® Work?

Consultation
Your treatment begins with a consultation to assess your pigmentation concerns, review your skin history and confirm suitability for the Cosmelan® method. A personalised plan is created based on your skin type, pigmentation pattern and lifestyle factors.
Treatment
Cosmelan® is delivered in two key phases. The first phase involves an in-clinic application of the Cosmelan 1 mask, which works to reduce excess melanin activity at the source. This is followed by a structured home care phase using prescribed products to continue depigmentation, regulate pigment production and support skin renewal over time.
Aftercare
Aftercare is a vital part of the Cosmelan® method. You may experience redness, peeling and sensitivity as the skin renews. Detailed guidance and ongoing support are provided to help manage this phase and support long-term pigment control and skin balance.

Many clients begin to see visible improvements within the first few weeks. Results continue to improve over several months as pigmentation fades and skin tone becomes more even.

Cosmelan® offers long-lasting results when the recommended home care and sun protection are followed. Pigmentation can return if triggers are not managed, so maintenance skincare and ongoing review are important.
