Uses

Cosmelan is commonly used for:

• Melasma
• Freckles
• Sunspots (solar lentigines)
• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (acne marks)
• Uneven skin tone
• Age spots
• Pigmentation caused by hormonal changes
• Pigmentation after cosmetic procedures (when appropriate)

Application Procedure

1. Pre-treatment

• Skin is assessed by a dermatologist.
• A preparation skincare routine may be recommended for 1–2 weeks before treatment.

2. In-clinic application

• The skin is cleansed thoroughly.
• The Cosmelan professional mask is applied evenly over the affected areas.
• The mask remains on the skin for the number of hours prescribed by the dermatologist (commonly 6–12 hours, depending on skin type and pigmentation severity).

3. Mask removal

• The patient washes off the mask at home using a gentle cleanser, following the dermatologist’s instructions.

4. Home maintenance
After the mask is removed, a maintenance routine is essential and usually includes:

• Cosmelan 2 maintenance cream
• Moisturizer
• High-SPF broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 50+)
• Other supportive skincare products recommended by the dermatologist

This maintenance phase generally continues for 3–6 months to maximize results and reduce the risk of pigmentation returning.

Benefits

• Reduces stubborn pigmentation.
• Improves skin brightness and radiance.
• Evens out skin tone.
• Suitable for many skin types.
• Less invasive than some laser treatments.

Precautions

• Must be performed under the supervision of a qualified dermatologist.
• Avoid direct sun exposure during treatment.
• Apply sunscreen daily and reapply as needed.
• Do not use harsh exfoliants or active ingredients unless advised.
• Temporary redness, peeling, and dryness are expected during the first few weeks.

Consistent aftercare—especially diligent sun protection—is one of the most important factors in achieving good, long-lasting results with Cosmelan.
