Melasma
Melasma is a skin condition that affects millions of people, causing dark and irregularly shaped patches on the face, particularly on the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, and nose. It is most commonly seen in women, especially those who are pregnant or taking hormonal contraceptives.

Melasma can also be triggered by sun exposure, genetics, and certain medications. Melasma is often referred to as "the mask of pregnancy" because of its prevalence in pregnant women, but it can affect anyone. The condition can be distressing and can impact a person's self-esteem and confidence. The good news is that melasma can be effectively treated and managed. At The Clinic Room, we have a proven method to reduce and in most cases remove melasma in 6 weeks or under. Our approach to treating melasma involves the use of the Cosmelan Peel or our Depigmentation Protocol. Cosmelan Peel is a highly effective and safe treatment for melasma. It works by reducing the production of melanin, the pigment that causes the dark patches. The Cosmelan Peel is a two-step treatment that includes a peel applied in-clinic followed by a maintenance cream used at home. The peel is left on the skin for a specified amount of time, and then removed. The maintenance cream is then applied to help prevent the reoccurrence of melasma. Our Depigmentation Protocol is another effective treatment for melasma. This protocol involves a combination of treatments tailored to each individual case, including peels, laser treatments, and medical-grade skincare products. At The Clinic Room, we are leaders in treating hyperpigmentation, including melasma. Our experienced team of professionals is committed to helping our clients achieve their best skin yet. We understand how distressing melasma can be, and our goal is to help our clients feel confident and beautiful in their own skin. If you're struggling with melasma, contact us today to learn more about our treatments and how we can help you achieve clear, even-toned skin. We have helped thousands of people with hyperpigmentation and are confident that we can help you too.

Questions people ask before booking
Is the consultation really free?
Yes. About 40 minutes, in person, in London, Birmingham or Manchester. You leave with a written plan and the price. No obligation.
How much will it cost?
It depends on what your skin needs. Your figure is written into your plan at the free consultation, before you decide, and there are flexible instalment options with no interest or admin fees.
How many visits, and how long?
A standard course is three to six visits over six to ten weeks. If there is a date you are working to, count back ten weeks and tell us.
Does it hurt?
Most treatments feel like warmth, tingling or a quick sting rather than pain, and numbing cream is used where it helps. The practitioner tells you exactly what to expect for your treatment before you decide, and you can stop at any point.
How many visits will I need?
It depends on the treatment and on your skin. Many plans are three to six visits over six to ten weeks; some single treatments are one visit. Your written plan says the number before you pay for anything.
When will I see a difference, and how long does it last?
Some treatments show a change within days; those that work by building collagen take six to twelve weeks to show fully. How long results last depends on the treatment, your skin and how well it is protected from the sun. The practitioner gives you a realistic timeline rather than a promise.
What is the downtime?
Anything from none to a few days of redness or peeling, depending on the treatment. Each treatment page says what to expect, and the plan is timed around your diary where it matters, for example before an event.
Is it safe for darker skin?
Darker skin has more active pigment cells and marks more easily, so settings and treatments are chosen for your skin type and some are avoided. Tell us your skin type at the consultation and the plan is built around it.
Who should not have it?
Pregnancy, some medications, active infections and certain medical conditions rule some treatments out. The consultation goes through this with you, and if a treatment is not suitable the practitioner says so and suggests what will work instead.
Can I combine treatments?
Often, and the programmes are built that way. The order matters: active acne is calmed before scarring is treated, for example. The practitioner sets the sequence.
