COSMELAN PEEL
Benefits
Cosmelan depigmentation treatments improve the appearance of pigmentation “blemishes” caused by Melasma, aging and exposure to the sun. This mask and the topical at-home cream treatment is an effective way to reduce the amount of melanin in the skin, and is compatible with all skin types. It’s safe to use on most types of skin discolorations, such as brown spots, blotchy skin, or acne blemishes. Many patients report a more vibrant skin complexion once the cream has removed dull outer skin layers.
The active ingredients in Cosmelan inhibit the formation of tyrosinase, a basic enzyme in the melanin formation process. Without tyrosinase, the melanin molecules that discolor your skin are broken up before they can even form. Patients may see up to a 95% reduction in spots and blemishes.
Treatment
The first Cosmelan treatment is applied in the office. Patients leave the cream mask on their skin for the recommended time which is typically between six and 10 hours, depending on skin type. The cream is odorless and causes no discomfort. Following the office treatment, there is a maintenance cream that is applied to the treated area twice a day for the first two weeks and once a day for a minimum of six months for best results. The maintenance cream continues to work on the melanin to ultimately erase the unwanted pigmentation. It may be necessary to have up to three in-office treatments to achieve the desired results.
