Cosmelan or Dermamelan?

Both are professional, non-laser depigmentation systems offered at Skinholic's Surrey clinic, but they are separate protocols suited to different pigment situations. Cosmelan is generally geared toward deep sun damage and stubborn dark spots, while Dermamelan is a medical-grade pathway for more severe or persistent darkening, and the right fit is confirmed at an in-person consultation.

The choice depends on your skin type, the depth and pattern of your pigmentation, your history and what you are currently using, which is exactly what the assessment establishes. Skinholic does not sell treatments at the door; the first visit is for looking at your skin in person and explaining what each option can and cannot do.

No, both are non-laser depigmentation systems that work topically rather than with light-based energy. This makes them a common option to discuss for clients who prefer a non-laser approach to uneven tone, though a practitioner may also mention laser or peel alternatives at consultation if they suit your skin better.

These protocols are often considered for deep sun damage, stubborn dark spots, uneven tone and melasma-type pigmentation. Many clients notice a more even, refreshed appearance over the course of the protocol, but suitability and realistic expectations are always confirmed during a free in-person assessment first.

Cost depends on which protocol suits you, the area being treated, how your plan is customized and the practitioner's assessment, so a figure is not set in advance. Your first consultation at our Surrey or Aldergrove clinic is free with no obligation to book, and pricing is confirmed there once the right approach is clear.

Each plan is different, and any expected recovery, home-care steps and sun-protection routine are explained before your protocol begins. Because these systems rely heavily on a guided at-home phase, your practitioner will set out the full timeline and what to expect during your consultation so you can plan around it.
