How the Cosmelan® Depigmentation Treatment Works
The Cosmelan® Depigmentation Treatment is comprised of two phases:
STEP 1: In-Office Mask
The first phase consists of a professional evaluation of your skin type and condition. The Cosmelan® Mask is then applied to the skin. The active ingredients induce lightening of hyperpigmentation and inhibit the production of melanin in the skin. You will be instructed to leave the mask on for six to 12 hours, depending on your skin type. You will wear the mask home, and remove it as instructed.
STEP 2: Home-Care Program
The home care program may vary slightly, depending on skin type, so follow the instructions you are given at the office. The basics for home care are as follows, to maximize the results of the treatment:
Day 1 – Day of Mask Application
After the recommended time of application has elapsed, remove the mask with mesoestetic® Milk or Gel Cleanser and warm water. Immediately after removing it, apply a small amount of the Hydravital Factor K Cream over the entire facial area. This cream will soothe and hydrate the skin, while contributing to the brightening of the complexion.
Days 2 – 14
- Apply Cosmelan® 2 Maintenance Cream two to three times per day.
- After cleansing the skin, apply a “pea size” of Cosmelan® 2 Maintenance Cream to the entire facial area. Allow to penetrate for 15 minutes.
- Apply a small amount of Hydravital Factor K Cream both morning and evening.
- Complete the routine with an application of mesoestetic® Complete Moisturizing Sunscreen (for normal to dry skin) or mesoestetic® Dermatological Complete Sunscreen (for combination to oily skin)
Weeks 3 – 10
Continue applying Cosmelan® 2 Maintenance Cream two times per day followed by Hydravital Factor K Cream and Complete Moisturizing Sunscreen (for normal to dry skin) or mesoestetic® Dermatological Complete Sunscreen (for combination to oily skin)
Week 11 – 6 Months
Continue applying Cosmelan® 2 Maintenance Cream one time per day followed by Hydravital Factor K Cream and Complete Moisturizing Sunscreen (for normal to dry skin) or mesoestetic® Dermatological Complete Sunscreen (for combination to oily skin)
