One of the most effective depigmentation systems available — reducing melanin to even out the most stubborn pigmentation.
What is Cosmelan®, and how does it work?
Cosmelan® is a professional depigmentation treatment designed to reduce and eliminate dark spots, melasma and other forms of hyperpigmentation. It works by inhibiting the production of melanin — the pigment responsible for skin colour — lightening dark areas and evening out overall skin tone. It's known for being both highly effective and well tolerated across a wide range of skin tones.
Cosmelan® is a two-phase system. First, a professional-grade Cosmelan® 1 mask — containing azelaic acid, kojic acid, phytic acid and ascorbic acid — is applied in clinic to inhibit melanin and exfoliate. You then continue at home with Cosmelan® 2 maintenance cream, which prolongs results and helps prevent pigmentation returning. At Rejuvena, every Cosmelan journey is guided by a GMC-registered GP with a special interest in dermatology, because pigmentation has many causes that should be assessed first.
Who treats your Cosmelan at Rejuvena
Your Cosmelan depigmentation programme is led by Dr Nick (GMC 6072251), our doctor here in Bedford, working alongside skin therapist Lana. Together they assess your pigmentation, tailor the peel and guide you through aftercare, so treatment for melasma and sun damage is always carried out safely and expertly.

I recently had a lesion removed from my cheek. The pigmented lesion had bothered me for years. I’m glad I finally decided to do something about it. I was quite nervous on the day, but Dr. Nick and Lana were so careful and reassuring — they really put me at ease. The procedure was quick and comfortable, and I feel so much better for having it done. I did a lot of research before I chose this clinic for my treatment. The clinic’s medical dermatology focus made me feel confident I would be in the right hands. I’m really grateful for the care I received and I would definitely recommend this clinic.
Rejuvena repliedThank you so much for your skin review Dupinder 🙏
Read this review on Google (opens in a new tab)I first met Dr Nick and Lana 6 months ago, not only were they very professional but also very very friendly they immediately made me feel at ease as I was quite nervous. I had the Cosmelan Peel treatment as have felt very self conscious for many years and within 4 weeks of treatment my results are incredible, I now feel confident in my own skin. The results have been 100%. Lana has been incredible throughout the whole process, no matter how busy she is she will always make time. Dr Nick and Lana I will always be grateful for your help and there are not enough words to say how thankful I am. You have both changed my life.
Rejuvena repliedAww! 🥹 Reading this review brought tears to our eyes Mrs Kaur. Thank you for your kind review. 🙏 We are so glad to have helped you in this journey. And we are so glad to hear that
Read this review on Google (opens in a new tab)Throughout my Lumecca experience Nick & Lana have been nothing but exceptional. Their knowledge and experience mixed with personal customer service can’t be matched. They put your mind and rest and explain everything from the start. The results speak for themselves! For years I have managed Rosecea, Pigmentation and Thread Veins. After just one treatment I could see clearer, dewy skin. Thanks to Nick and Lana my confidence has grown to be able to go out with minimal make up on. A Randall
