Frequently Asked Questions

Cosmelan

How long does the in-clinic Cosmelan treatment take?
The initial in-clinic application takes around 30 minutes, followed by at-home care that varies based on your specific needs.
Cosmelan treatment, including the four-week pre-depigmentation home kit use, is 7 months. Sometimes, if you require Mesopeel sessions, this may take longer. You can talk about it at your consultation with our doctor.
We recommend you hold off on holidays that expose you to tropical, beach holidays, skiing holidays and special occasions at least 14 days after the in-clinic treatment. Always wear broadspectrum SPF sunscreen to protect your skin from further hyperpigmentation due to photodamage from the sun.
During the day, you should always wear broadspectrum SPF 50 sunscreen regardless of where you live, the season or the weather. Cosmelan has powerful exfoliators, and your skin is more sensitive to photodamage by the sun. In some cases, it can worsen your hyperpigmentation without adequate sunscreen.
Cosmelan is effective for all skin types and tones, though it may be particularly beneficial for those with Fitzpatrick Skin Types IV-VI.
Some mild redness, peeling, warmth/pain, or dryness is normal as your skin adjusts to the treatment. Our team will guide you on how to care for your skin throughout the process.
Our GMC registered doctor will conduct a thorough medical consultation to determine your suitability before your treatment. If necessary, we can perform an allergy patch test.

Dermamelan

Is Dermamelan suitable for all skin types?
Yes, Dermamelan is effective for all skin types and tones, making it a versatile choice for hyperpigmentation treatment.
Many patients begin noticing improvements within 4 weeks, with optimal results visible between 2–3 months.
Following the Dermamelan Mask application, some mild peeling, redness, and dryness will be expected as your skin adjusts. We’ll provide all the aftercare guidance needed to minimise discomfort and maximise results.
During the day, you should always wear broadspectrum SPF 50 sunscreen regardless of where you live, the season or the weather. Dermamelan has powerful exfoliators, and your skin is more sensitive to photodamage by the sun. In some cases, it can worsen your hyperpigmentation without adequate sunscreen.

Blemiderm

What is Blemiderm?
Blemiderm is a medical treatment for acne blemishes that involves a professional clinic session and an at-home routine. It can help with oily skin and acne.
Blemiderm can be used on normal, combination, and oily skin. Suitable for those experiencing acne grades 1-3.
Yes, Blemiderm can be applied to these areas.
No, Blemiderm is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding people.
Yes, Blemiderm can be combined with other acne medications.
No, Blemiderm is not recommended for people with active cancer or keloid scarring.
The treatment lasts for about three months and involves three clinic sessions, each 15 days apart.
Results may be noticeable after the first clinic session, but it can take up to three months to see the full benefits.
You can use a non-comedogenic moisturiser and a broadspectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen for daytime use. We recommend the Mesoestetic range; please ask your doctor for more information.

The Perfect Peel

How long does the peeling last?

Expect moderate peeling for up to 7-10 days post-treatment. This is common and part of the skin renewal process, which leads to brighter, healthier skin.

In about 7-10 days, you will notice less peeling, dryness, and tightness if they are less noticeable. In some cases, this may be less or take longer. We recommend allowing at least 28 days before holidays when you will be exposed to high levels of UV radiation and special occasions.
Some mild to moderate warmth/pain, tightness, and redness may occur during and after in-clinic application. The top layer of your skin may appear darker; this is common. You may experience dryness during the first 10 days of treatment. You must follow our doctor’s instructions at home when using The Perfect Peel home kit.
For best results, 3–4 sessions spaced one to two months apart are ideal, with a maximum of 4 sessions per year.
Yes, The Perfect Peel is designed to be effective across various skin types and tones.

E50 Exosome with TargetCool

What are exosomes in the context of hair loss and skin rejuvenation?
Exosomes are small vesicles that carry proteins, lipids, and RNA from one cell to another. Hair loss and skin rejuvenation promote healing, stimulate hair growth, and enhance skin regeneration by facilitating cellular communication and regeneration processes.
Exosome treatments for hair loss involve the injection of exosomes derived from stem cells into the scalp. These exosomes can promote hair follicle activity, improve blood circulation, and help regenerate damaged hair follicles, potentially leading to increased hair growth. TargetCool further enhances the efficacy and delivery of E50 Exosome to your scalp than microneedling.
Exosome therapy for skin rejuvenation can enhance collagen production, improve skin texture and elasticity, promote wound healing, and reduce signs of ageing. The bioactive molecules in exosomes help stimulate cellular repair and regeneration.
When performed by qualified professionals, exosome treatments are generally considered safe, utilising naturally occurring components derived from human cells. However, as with any medical procedure, there can be risks, including allergic reactions or infections.

The number of sessions required can vary based on individual needs and treatment goals. Typically, patients may undergo 2-4 sessions for optimal results, spaced a few weeks apart.

Patients may start to see hair growth or skin texture improvements within a few weeks, with more significant results often visible after a few months as the regenerative processes continue.

Yes, exosome therapy can be combined with other treatments such as PRP (platelet-rich plasma), microneedling, or laser therapy to enhance overall results in hair restoration and skin rejuvenation.
Common side effects may include mild swelling, redness, or discomfort at the injection site. These side effects are considerably reduced when E50 Exosome is delivered with Target Cool as it has anti-inflammatory and pain relief properties. Serious side effects are rare but can occur, so discussing potential risks with your doctor is essential.

Helios III Carbon Laser Facials

What is Helios III?
Helios III is a Q-switched photoacoustic laser which uses sound to break down pigmented particles such as tattoo ink, pigmented lesions & carbon peel.
The Carbon mask is applied to the skin’s surface, penetrating deep into the pores. The laser light is attracted to the carbon particles when the laser is passed over the skin. This creates heat and destroys the carbon, taking the dead skin cells and excess oils with it to help minimise pores & gently resurface the skin texture.
No, the carbon facial is the ideal lunchtime treatment with no downtime. The only sensation felt during the treatment is warmth from the laser & the sound of the carbon being targeted.
Laser toning, or laser genesis, is one element of the carbon facial procedure. This procedure uses heat to stimulate collagen within the skin, helping to tighten and tone the skin while treating conditions such as rosacea.
The Helios III can treat Melasma and other dermal and epidermal pigmented lesions. We recommend supporting the skin journey with at-home skincare and professional treatments for the best results.
Helios III targets the ink particles within the tattoo to destroy the ink. This is then absorbed within the body through the elimination process to fade & eventually remove the tattoo.
Although the Helios III can treat most inks, it cannot treat green, teal, or light blue inks.
This will depend on the size, depth of colour & how your tattoo responds to treatment. Upon consultation, our Practitioners can provide an estimated number of treatments.
Some discomfort is felt during the treatment. However, we use cool air to minimise discomfort.
Yes, we patch-test a small area of the tattoo 48 hours prior to treatment. This allows us to see how the tattoo responds to the settings we use to treat the tattoo safely yet effectively.

It will be available in the summer of 2025. We will post the date of availability on our Instagram.

Absolutely! Laser Tattoo Removal is a great option to semi-remove an existing tattoo in preparation for it to be covered over. We can work with your tattoo artist to understand what level of removal will be required for them to cover & give an estimated number of treatments to achieve that.
