What Is Hormonal Pigmentation?
Cosmelan treatment in London
Hormonal pigmentation, often referred to as melasma or chloasma, is a complex and deeply rooted skin condition caused by internal hormonal fluctuations — most commonly during pregnancy, contraceptive use, or menopause.
Unlike surface-level pigmentation, hormonal pigment sits deeper within the skin, making it far more resistant to traditional treatments like laser or peels.
Key traits of hormonal pigment:
- Patchy
- Persistent
- UV-Activated
- Trigger-Sensitive

What is Cosmelan®?
Cosmelan® is the world-leading depigmentation method, clinically designed to reduce and regulate melanin production at its source. Unlike lasers or chemical peels that treat the surface, Cosmelan works at the cellular level, calming the process that causes pigment in the first place.
It’s not just a treatment—it’s a full pigment control program.
At Ace Aesthetics, your Cosmelan journey includes:
In-Clinic Mask Application
Applied by our trained practitioners, the Cosmelan mask is left on your skin for several hours depending on your skin type.

You’ll continue with a specific Mesoestetic homecare program for 4–6 months to regulate pigment production long-term.

Frequently Asked Questions
Cosmelan is a professional depigmentation treatment designed to reduce stubborn pigmentation such as melasma, sun spots, and post-inflammatory marks. It works by regulating melanin production at the source.
Cosmelan is highly effective for:
Hormonal pigmentation (melasma/chloasma)
Sun damage
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
Uneven skin tone and texture
The treatment is a two-part protocol:
An intensive mask applied in-clinic
A tailored home-care regime to continue pigment suppression and skin renewal
Yes! Cosmelan is safe and effective for all Fitzpatrick skin types (I–VI) and all ethnicities, making it an inclusive option for a wide range of clients.
You may feel mild tingling or warmth during application. Post-treatment, expect some peeling, redness, and dryness—but discomfort is usually minimal and manageable.
Improvements can be seen within 2–3 weeks, with continued brightening and evening of skin tone over several months as the home-care products continue to work.
Pigmentation can return if proper aftercare and sun protection are not followed. However, Cosmelan significantly reduces the chance of recurrence when the full protocol is followed.
Not exactly. While Cosmelan includes peeling, it’s more than just exfoliation—it works at the cellular level to inhibit pigment production, offering longer-lasting results than standard peels.
