Cosmelan Depigmentation Treatment Information

Cosmelan can reduce dark spots on the skin.

A common problem for many people are dark spots on the skin. There are many different reasons an individual starts seeing dark spots on the skin including sun damage and hormones, however reducing the appearance of these spots can be a tedious process. There are several products on the market that claim to help with such skincare problems-one of them being the Cosmelan Depigmentation Treatment.

Hyper-pigmentation

The effects of hormones, such as taking birth control pills, can lead to dark brown patches and spots on the cheeks, forehead, upper lip and temples called hyper-pigmentation. However the most common cause of hyper-pigmentation is sun damage and extreme heat. Aging, pregnancy and cystic acne can also cause dark spots on the skin. The appearance of dark spots is due to the skin cells producing extra pigment.

Cosmelan Depigmentation

Cosmelan depigmentation is used to reduce the appearance of hyper-pigmentation. Cosmelan reduces the production of melanin which lessens dark spots on the skin. The ingredients in Cosmelan inhibit tyrosinase, an enzyme in the melanin formation process, which blocks this enzyme causing the cells to produce less melanin.

Benefits of Cosmelan

The Cosmelan Depigmentation Treatment is used to correct and improve aged skin, facial blemishes, dark skin spots, melasma, cholasma and acne scars. It can be used on the face, breasts, abdomen, legs and hands. It is non-invasive, the results are rapid and the side effects are minimal. Cosmelan can be used on all skin types, regardless of sensitivity and is safe.

Cosmelan treatment process

The initial treatment of Cosmelan is done in a clinic or with a trained esthetician. The doctor or skin care specialist evaluates and cleans the skin with an aqua and acetone product which removes dead cells and skin debris. After cleansing, Cosmelan is applied in the form of a mask and is left on for four to eight hours. The mask is removed with water and a neutral cleanser. At home, creams and sunblock are then applied to the face for three weeks. The creams are applied two to three times a day for two weeks and then only once a day for the last week.

After the Cosmelan treatment

Some individuals undergoing the Cosmelan treatment may experience slight reddening, tightening and flaking of the skin initially. The skin turns red, similar to a sun burn and any burning or itching subsides in 24 to 48 hours. Skin flaking is also percent after having a Cosmelan treatment. Once the side effects fully subside, there is an improvement in skin color, tone and texture. The treatment must be repeated to maintain the benefits.
