Hyperpigmentation, whether caused by sun exposure, hormones, or post-inflammatory changes can be frustrating and persistent. At The Blackwell Clinic, we offer Cosmelan peel and Dermamelan, two world leading, advanced, clinically proven depigmentation systems from Mesoestetic. These medical-grade treatments are ideal for patients with melasma, age spots, sun damage, and uneven skin tone.

Dermamelan Intimate

Dermamelan incorporates patented ingredients supported by nanotechnology for enhanced delivery and results.
