When will you see the results of the Cosmelan treatment?
Side effects will be peeling, redness and a little irritation, these are all to be expected initially. This effect could last until the application of Cosmelan 2 has been reduced in the 2nd month of treatment. The Melan recovery on your skin after the application of the Cosemelan 2 will help reduce the irritation and peeling.
During the first month, you can expect your skin to feel sensitive, we recommend the use of the Fast Skin Repair before the spf 3 times a day if your skin feels uncomfortable.
To avoid over stimulating the skin, the use of any products containing Vitamin C or Retinolls throughout the treatment is not recommended.
Why should you choose Cosmelan treatment to combat your hyperpigmentation?
It is worth noting that during the first 4 months of your cosmelan treatment, you should not undertake any other procedures. The melanostop peel is be performed 48 hours prior to the Cosmelan in-clinic treatment taking place. The reason for the peel is to prep your skin for the treatment, to remove dead skin cells and most importantly, hydrate the skin. This allows the Cosmelan peel to work at a deeper layer within your skin.
Laser treatments are commonly used to reduce hyperpigmentation and can be highly effective. However, if you have a higher phototype, Isian, Indian or Black skins then the laser treatments becomes a more high risk treatment with less effective results and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation occuring. The Cosmelan treatment is a better tolerated treatment, with a much lower risk of recurrence. This means it is highly effective and has longer lasting results.
