FAQ's

How does it work?

Cosmelan® is a topical depigmentation treatment most typically used to improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation and certain types of pigmented scarring. Both the face and the body can benefit from treatment with Cosmelan®. Cosmelan® inhibits the action of Tyrosinase, an enzyme responsible for the production of melanin. Melanin is increased by aging, acne, hormone, fluctuations, sun exposure and inflammation, which can causes irregular darkening of the skin.

Am I a candidate for Cosmelan?

The Cosmelan®MD Depigmentation Treatment is safe for use all skin types. During your consultation, we will discuss your skin goals and tailor a treatment plan that will help you achieve them.

What to expect during your Cosmelan treatment?

There are 2 phases of the Cosmelan® MD Depigmentation Treatment: the first part of your treatment will consist of the application of a yellow color mask (Cosmelan®) after a thorough cleansing of the skin. Then we will instruct you to leave the mask in place for 4-8 hours or more depending on your skin type, and then you will be allowed to go home with the mask on. After your prescribed wait time has elapsed, you can wash away the mask with a neutral cleanser and water. Immediately after removing the mask, you will apply the provided home care.

The second part of the Cosmelan® MD Depigmentation Treatment is ongoing routine maintenance consisting of a daily application of the Cosmelan 2 cream. You will apply this cream three times per day for one week, twice a day for the second week, and then once a day in the third week following your initial mask.

What will I expect after the treatment?

You can expect a significant drying and peeling of the skin over a period of three to four days post-treatment after which, a noticeable improvement in the skin is observed. The areas of problematic pigmentation are greatly reduced, and the skin appears luminous, revived, fresh and smooth.

What are the risks or side effects of treatment?

Mild to severe peeling, redness, slight scabbing and sensitivity to the sun is normal in the first few days after the treatment. Some people experience dryness, tightness, soreness and itching for up to two weeks after the initial treatment. Those suffering from recurrent herpes infections may have recurrence of cold sores.

Cosmelan Recovery

In the first two days of the Cosmelan® MD Treatment, it is common for the skin to turn red. In the first 24-48 hours of treatment, tightening of the skin and slight burning is typical and not a cause for concern. Patients with sensitive skin may experience some itching. Flaking is also common between the second and third day. In approximately four days following the start of the treatment, most patients find that their skin looks luminous, healthy, and more even in tone as dark spots from hyperpigmentation begin to fade.

THINGS TO DO BEFORE AND AFTER COSMELAN®

*Cosmelan® & Fillers

After fillers: It is suggested to wait at least 2 weeks to perform Cosmelan®. Day of filler injection, suspend the application of Cosmelan® 2 and resume it 24 hours later. 

Before fillers: Once the cosmelan® treatment has been applied, wait one week until the inflammation and flaking have disappearedd if the skin is sensitive wait 2 weeks.

*What is the difference between Cosmelan & Cosmelan MD

The ingredients are identical in both formulations, other than the addition of 8% Hydroquinone in the Cosmelan® MD mask and 6% Hydroquinone in the Cosmelan® 2 Maintenance Cream.

*How to prepare my skin before having a Cosmelan? How long before the Cosmelan or in the same session?

Prepping the skin prior to Cosmelan® is not necessary, but for tough cases of Melasma we suggest a Lactic or Mandelic acid peel be given 2 weeks prior to the application of the Cosmelan® mask to soften, hydrate and begin the cellular turnover process. We also suggest discontinuing the use of retinol, prescription topicals, AHA’s, BHA’s and Benzoyl Peroxide for a minimum of 2 weeks prior to the mask application. Shave 24hrs prior to Cosmelan® application.

*When to stop using retinol, mandelic, glycolic and salicylic active ingredients?

2 weeks prior to the treatment.

*With Cosmelan® home treatment, should the patient stop using their products?

We suggest discontinuing the use of retinol, prescription topicals, AHA’s, BHA’s and Benzoyl Peroxide for a minimum of 2 weeks prior to the mask application. Also, if the patient is using a prescription strength Hydroquinone, they should discontinue use for 4 months prior to receiving the Cosmelan® MD mask or 1 month prior to the Cosmelan® mask with no Hydroquinone. Shave 24hrs post Cosmelan® application.

*When can patients start reapplying other active ingredients apart from Cosmelan®?

We suggest that the patient not add any other products to their home care regimen for a 3-to-4-month period. At that time, they can return to some serum use but still no retinol or AHA’s and BHA’s while using Cosmelan® 2 maintenance cream.

*Should patients combine other active ingredients with Cosmelan® 2?

It can cause an allergic reaction that may include redness, rashes, itchiness, and other unknown activities on the skin.

*How long can patients stay on Hydroquinone during Cosmelan® treatment?

Recommended 3 months with Cosmelan® 2 maintenance cream. Alternate the next 3 months without hydroquinone.
