Your Cosmelan DePigmentation Program
Cosmelan is a two part
treatment product. The initial treatment
is an in-office procedure with
application of the Cosmelan cream mask
(Cosmelan 1). You will leave this mask
on for the amount of time specified by
our doctors. This may be from 4 to 8
hours depending on your skin type. You
will remove the mask with a neutral
cleanser and apply the special post
treatment cream that comes with your
Cosmelan Pack.
What
to expect:
The day following the
office treatment your skin will redden
(much as if you'd spent the day in the
sun without a sun screen) and soon
thereafter you will have mild peeling or
flaking. Some patients experience
stinging, itching and tightening. This
is normal and may be alleviated by using
the Hydrating Cream that is included in
your product pack.
You will be instructed as
to when to begin your maintenance creams
(Cosmelan 2) which will be used daily to
keep your skin smooth and clear and
maintain the lightening achieved with
the Cosmelan 1.
Note:
You must not use other skin lightening
products at any time while you are on
the Cosmelan program.
What to
expect:
Patients who use glycolic
acid products must stop using them one
week prior to the initial treatment.
Please be sure to inform us if you are
using any skin bleaching or lightening
products, even those purchased over the
counter.
Cosmelan has an outstanding safety
factor and does not contain
hydroquinone. This allows for long-term
use in preventing reoccurrence of
pigmentation irregularities.
