Review : Cosmelan Professional Treatment

What is it?

A professional in-office treatment for melasma/pigmentation. 

Who is it for?

This is specifically helpful for those with battling melasma and pigment issues which includes dark spots from acne.

What’s in it?

This mask contains Azelaic Acid, Kojic Acid, Phytic Acid, Ascorbic Acid, Arbutin, and Titanium Dioxide. 

Their maintenance cream contains the same ingredients to further lighten and eradicate pigmentation. 

Cosmelan has 2 versions. A HQ-free version and the Cosmelan MD which contains hydroquinone. 

How is this performed?

Cosmelan Peel is a two-step process that begins at the clinic. First, your skin has to be cleansed and professionally degreased by our doctor before the treatment. Once the skin has been prepped, a thick layer of the Cosmelan 1 peel is applied. This mask has to stay on for a specified time ranging from 6 to 10 hours, depending on your skin type and level of pigmentation.The rest of the treatment process is carried out at home. After the specified time, the mask is removed with water and a gentle cleanser. Right after that, the mesoestetic® Hydra-Vital Factor K cream is applied over the treated area to restore the skin’s moisture and protect new skin growth.

The second step of the Cosmelan Peel treatment involves the continuous use of the Cosmelan 2 cream to maintain the results obtained from the in-clinic treatment. Daily application of the Cosmelan 2 cream will prevent new spots from appearing and reduce pigmentation. Your provider will advise you on the application techniques to ensure the best results.

What to expect?

After application of the peel, patients will experience side effects like redness and flaking. Peeling starts about two to three days post-treatment, during which the skin may feel tight and itchy. Application of the mesoestetic® Hydra-Vital Factor K cream will help soothe the skin.As it is a non-invasive treatment and no anaesthesia is required, the safety margin of this treatment is high. 

Most if not all of the peeling will be complete by the first week.

Conclusion

The Cosmelan Depigmentation Peel is a unique, multi-ingredient chemical treatment designed to reduce  areas of skin discoloration and hyperpigmentation.  Melanin is responsible for creating the skin tone, as well as splotchy areas of darker tissue.  The Cosmelan Peel decreases the skin’s natural melanin production by inhibiting certain enzymes, providing an even complexion.A Cosmelan Peel can be used to improve the look of facial skin, the abdomen, legs/hands, and the breast/nipple area.  Dull skin, dry areas, dark spots, blemishes, and acne scars can be significantly reduced with the peel.  Discoloration due to Melasma (Brown to gray patches over the bridge of the nose, cheeks, chin, and elsewhere on the face and body; often the result of hormonal changes) and Cholasma (similar to Melasma; referred to as the Mask of Pregnancy) can be minimized with the Cosmelan Peel.  In addition, the peel balances the skin’s oil production to improve acne.

Overall, this really is a one of a kind peel that contains proven skin lighteners to help fade unwanted pigmentation. For someone battling pigment/melasma, this is a great procedure to begin with prior to moving onto lasers.
