WHAT IS COSMELAN®?

Cosmelan® is the world’s leading professional depigmentation method for improving the appearance of dark spots and pigmentation.

It provides both excellent short and long term results thanks to its unique dual action mechanism, visibly reducing the pigmentation and dark spots, but also helping to prevent its reappearance.

The Cosmelan® Process:

STEP 1:  A single treatment where the professional applies a mask with an intensive depigmenting action.

STEP 2: The treatment continues at home. Under the professional’s recommendations, the client must follow the home care steps which complement the method.

STEP 3: The Cosmelan® method is a topical treatment that takes approximately 6 months + a minimum of 6 months of after treatment care, combining an in-clinic treatment with an at-home regime necessary to obtain optimal results.

WHAT TYPE OF PIGMENTATION WILL COSMELAN® TREAT:

Cosmelan® can improve the appearance of most dark spots (hormonal, genetic, PIH, etc.) that can worsen due to sun exposure.

WHEN SHOULD I DO A COSMELAN® PEEL?

Cosmelan® can be used at any time of the year, though it is advisable to have the treatment at times when sun exposure is not so intense or prolonged, such as the winter and autumn. If you do have the treatment in summer, you must take greater care and use a very high sun protection, such as Melan 130 pigment control, and completely avoid very intense and prolonged sun exposure.”

WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS:

The most significant change takes place a few weeks after applying the mask in clinic, it improves the appearance of skin texture, dark spots and pigmentation visibly decrease. This can give a misleading feeling of success. During this period the outermost layers of skin are exfoliated, and therefore we see the improvement in look of dark spots and the skin looks smoother and softer. To ensure best possible results, it is important to continue the home treatment, to help prevent the reappearance of dark spots.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I STOP THE HOMECARE?

If you do not follow the home care, you are interrupting the treatment and will therefore not obtain the best possible results and pigmentation will reappear.

Not using sun protection, melan 130 pigment control, provides a very high risk that the dark spots will return, as skin is more sensitive and receptive to external aggression during the treatment.

CAN I DO OTHER SKIN TREATMENTS WHILE HAVING COSMELAN®?

During the method, it is not recommended to use any other type of treatment such as peels, microneedling, exfoliation, etc, as it can even cause repigmentation. It is advisable to use soothing and revitalising treatments both in clinic and at home, if needed, and as recommended by your skin therapist.

CAN I CONTINUE WITH MY NORMAL DAILY ACTIVITIES DURING THE TREATMENT?

Caution must be taken, especially during the first few days post-treatment. For example, it is recommended to avoid swimming pools, prolonged sun exposure and activities that involve excessive sweating.

CAN DARK SPOTS RETURN AFTER THE END OF TREATMENT?

Although the appearance of dark spots are significantly reduced, there is always some chance for them to reappear, in particular when the skin is exposed to the sun. Therefore, the daily use of sun protection is essential along with melanin inhibitors prescribed by your skin specialist.
