Cosmelan

Cosmelan® is the leading worldwide depigmentation method to treat spots with maximum efficacy and safety.

This professional depigmentation treatment works by inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase, which plays a crucial role in the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin colour. The effects reduce and eliminate dark spots and hyperpigmentation on the skin.

Cosmelan® is used to treat melasma, age spots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The treatment involves a mask applied by a dermatologist or skincare professional, followed by a home care regimen to maintain the results.

INGREDIENTS

1. Azelaic Acid: Inhibits tyrosinase and reduces melanin production.
2. Kojic Acid: Inhibits melanin production and has antifungal properties.
3. Phytic Acid: Exfoliates the skin and reduces melanin synthesis.
4. Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C): Antioxidant that brightens the skin and reduces pigmentation.
5. Arbutin: Inhibits tyrosinase and melanin production.

DOWNTIME

1. Immediate Reaction: The treated skin may appear red and feel tight immediately after the procedure.
2. Peeling: Peeling and flaking generally start within the first 2-3 days and can last for up to a week.
3. Redness and Sensitivity: Redness and sensitivity can persist for several days to a couple of weeks.
4. Follow-up Care: Patients are usually advised to use specific aftercare products and avoid sun exposure for a few weeks following the treatment.

Overall, the most significant downtime is within the first week, but full recovery and optimal results may take a few weeks.
