If you are searching for the best treatment for pigmentation, particularly melasma, the Cosmelan® Peel Extreme Depigmentation System is globally recognised as the gold standard.
At Rachael Katie Cosmetics, based in Southampton, Hampshire, we specialise in advanced pigmentation correction using the Cosmelan® method—designed to treat pigmentation at the root cause, not just on the surface.
We proudly treat clients from Southampton, Hampshire and surrounding areas, delivering safe, clinically proven results for even the most stubborn pigmentation.
The Cosmelan® Peel is a medical-grade depigmentation treatment developed to correct and control excessive melanin production. Unlike traditional chemical peels or laser treatments, Cosmelan works on regulating melanocytes, making it especially effective for melasma, which is one of the hardest forms of pigmentation to treat.
Why Cosmelan® Is the Best Treatment for Pigmentation
✔ Targets the cause of pigmentation, not just the symptom ✔ Gold-standard treatment for melasma ✔ Suitable for all skin tones, including darker skin types ✔ Safe alternative where laser may worsen pigmentation ✔ Long-term regulation and prevention
Over one million patients worldwide have already experienced the Cosmelan® method, with outstanding satisfaction and safety records.
✔ 4-week pre-treatment home preparation ✔ In-clinic Cosmelan® peel ✔ Full 3- 6 month homecare plan ✔ Eight professional appointments ✔ Ongoing support and monitoring
A consultation is required to confirm suitability and personalise your plan.
Cosmelan Peel FAQ's
Is Cosmelan® suitable for melasma?
Yes. Cosmelan® is considered one of the most effective treatments for melasma, especially when lasers are unsuitable.
Can Cosmelan® be used on darker skin tones?
Yes. It is safe and effective for all Fitzpatrick skin types when professionally prescribed.
Is Cosmelan® a steroid?
No. Cosmelan® is a chemical depigmentation system, not a steroid.
How long do results last?
Results can last months to years, provided strict sun protection and maintenance are followed.
Can pigmentation return?
Pigmentation can recur if aftercare is not followed or if sun exposure is excessive—especially with melasma.
Is the homecare really necessary?
Absolutely. The homecare phase is essential for success and long-term results.

Rachael Katie Cosmetics offers a range of non-surgical cosmetic procedures to keep you looking and feeling at your best
