Cosmelan

Cosmelan treatment

Pigmentation disorders are a growing problem worldwide, affecting more than 90% of adults over 50. They are a significant concern regardless of skin color, both for their aesthetic impact and their negative effects on psycho-emotional well-being and quality of life. Skin hyperpigmentation involves alterations in the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. It results from an uncontrolled overproduction of melanin within the melanocyte, leading to localized, irregular skin discoloration—the appearance of spots. Cosmelan® is a professional depigmenting method that provides intensive corrective action on skin hyperpigmentation while regulating melanin overproduction in melanocytes, inhibiting and controlling the reappearance of new spots. Its effectiveness is based on its dual mechanism of action, which achieves, on the one hand, a corrective effect by eliminating hyperpigmentation and, on the other, a regulating effect by controlling the overproduction of melanin and thus preventing the appearance of new spots in the long term. More than just a treatment, cosmelan® is a complete method consisting of a single session, which can be performed in beauty salons and dermatological or aesthetic medicine clinics, and a home maintenance treatment. The session involves the professional application of the cosmelan 1 mask, which is left on for 8 to 12 hours, depending on the phototype and sensitivity of the skin being treated. After this time, the mask is removed at home. After 48 hours, the follow-up phase begins at home with the application of the cosmelan 2 maintenance cream and moisturizing sun protection SPF 50+. This follow-up phase is carried out for 7 months to achieve optimal results and prevent the reappearance of spots.
