Step 1: See A Professional
- Cosmelan is a relatively gentle treatment, but it is only available through aestheticians, dermatologists, and other professionals. Seeing a professional is a good first step to starting any new skin regimen, as they will look at your overall skin condition and determine which course of action to take in order to improve the look and feel of your complexion.
-
Step 2: Prepare for Cosmelan
- Alert your skin care professional of any other skin treatments you have been using.
- Discontinue using any other skin-lightening products (especially those containing glycolic acid) for at least a week prior to your first Cosmelan application.
- Schedule appointments for your initial treatment, as well as follow-up treatments.
-
Step 3: Treatment
- Your skin care professional will apply your first Cosmelan mask in his or her office. You will be instructed to leave it on for a specified amount of time, and then remove with a gentle cleanser. You will then apply a special cream once the Cosmelan has been rinsed off. Your Cosmelan treatment will be continued at home. You must use it daily in order to achieve significant results, and if you stop treatment your dark spots will eventually return.
-
After Treatment
- After your first Cosmelan treatment, you will experience skin reddening (similar to a sunburn) accompanied by some flaking or peeling. Your face may also feel itchy, irritated or tight. This is all normal, and the after-care cream you receive along with your Cosmelan should offer relief. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience more serious side effects.
-
Conclusion
- Cosmelan has been shown to effectively reduce dark spots due to aging, sun exposure or other causes. It is available through skin care professionals only, and must be used every day in order to be effective. Some mild side effects may occur with use. Remember to carefully follow all directions given to you by your doctor or aesthetician, as well as all package instructions.
