How does the Cosmelan process work?
The process consist of two parts: First stage is applied in your physician’s office: Basically is the cleansing of the skin and the application of a yellow mustard color mask (Cosmelan 1).
The physician will evaluate your skin type and determine what skin type you have. The physician will then cleanse your face and degrease the area to be treated. Immediately following the degreasing step, you will be applied Cosmelan® 1 which is a yellow mustard mask. The mask will be left on for a total of 4-8 hours depending on your skin type. You will go home with the mask on.
After the action time has elapsed, you will remove the mask with water and a neutral cleanser.
Immediately following the cleansing of the face, you will apply the mesoestetic® Hydra-vital factor K cream.
Second stage is the Home Maintenance: It consists of the daily application and continual use of the Cosmelan 2 cream. The cream is applied three times to the day, the first week following the application of the mask, twice a day the second week, and once a day the third week forward.
