Cosmelan Peel

Treatment is continued at home with an after-treatment kit containing three facial creams. In total, this is a four-step treatment that chemically exfoliates the skin and regulates pigmentation to target the source of melasma, protect the skin from future sun exposure, and calm irritation.

Who Can Benefit from a Cosmelan Peel?

Men and women with hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage or aging can benefit from the Cosmelan depigmentation treatment. This is also a great treatment for acne scars and rough skin texture; however, it should not be used to treat active acne. Patients of any skin tone can receive Cosmelan peel depigmentation treatments, and it is also safe for most skin types, although sensitive skin may be more prone to redness and sensitivity. One week before the depigmentation process, avoid skincare products and cosmetic treatments that use glycolic acid. A series of chemical peels can be considered, depending on your goals.

Results and Recovery

There is no downtime after a Cosmelan peel, but there are a few steps to take while your skin heals. Make sure to use the prescribed creams after removing the Cosmelan mask and leave it on overnight. This needs to be used with sunscreen from the third day to 30 days after your cosmetic procedure. Peeling and skin reddening typically occurs during the first 3-5 days after treatment but new skin will quickly be revealed. It can take about 1-2 weeks for the pigmented spots to fade away, but most patients will see clearer, brighter, and healthier skin after 3-4 weeks. The Cosmelan peel solution has the power to remove dark spots and regulate the overproduction of pigmentation so that you can enjoy long-lasting beautiful skin!
