People are given more and more options to help them achieve their desired appearance as new skincare treatments are constantly innovating. These treatments are becoming more widely available to the general public. Look no further than the Cosmelan treatment to get rid of dark spots, acne scars, freckles, and hyperpigmentation.
A few signs of aging include dark spots, freckles, and hyperpigmentation. They’re unpredictable, but most of these signs of aging are caused by too much sun exposure. Even if we don’t get much sun, a few of us can still develop any of these problems.
Similarly, many of us did not notice these signs until they were all over our faces. Fortunately, a Cosmelan chemical procedure can reverse these signs of aging.
Cosmelan Procedure, The Solution To Skin Discolorations
The Cosmelan procedure is a cutting-edge depigmentation treatment that helps to significantly reduce acne scars, melasma, lentigo, sun damage, and freckles, among other skin discolorations. It targets melanin, which is the root of the problem.
Restructuring Melanin
Melanin is a pigment found naturally in the body that gives our eyes, skin, and hair their distinct color. There’s nothing wrong with melanin, and they’re a part of the human anatomy, but when there’s too much of it, it becomes a problem. When we produce too much melanin, our skin tones become unbalanced, with some areas being darker than others.
A few people are self-conscious about their appearance due to these imbalances. We’d all like our skin to have a more even and consistent tone. So to do that, we must restructure the melanin to achieve a natural-looking skin tone.
We can prevent or control the amount of melanin your skin produces with the Cosmelan treatment, resulting in a more consistent skin tone and improved skin radiance.
Cosmelan Treatment Reduces Skin Discolorations
Cosmelan is a unique and practical solution for an overall corrective effect due to the variety of remedying qualities available in the treatment.
The Cosmelan treatment employs a one-of-a-kind formula that combines several active ingredients with a track record of success. It aids in the correction of all stages of the hyperpigmentation process, ensuring that it is completely eradicated and that no new skin tone issues appear.
The Cosmelan treatment contains the following ingredients:
- Arbutine
- Ascorbic Acid
- Kojic Acid
- Phytic Acid
- Azelaic Acid
The FDA has approved the treatment, proving its effectiveness. Hyperpigmentation was once a common occurrence that was difficult to conceal, even with camouflage creams and heavy makeup. Women had no choice but to use concealers or heavier makeup to hide their imperfections.
There is a solution for these issues, thanks to Cosmelan treatment.
Guidelines Before Your Cosmelan Treatment
Before you can avail of your Cosmelan treatment, you have to do these pre-care instructions first to avoid complications.
- On the day of the treatment, no scrubs or facial exfoliation are allowed.
- Two days before treatment, men should not shave.
- One week before treatment, no waxing in the treated areas.
- Within two weeks of treatment, no peels, laser resurfacing, or medical-grade exfoliation are allowed.
- Active Herpes Simplex blisters/cold sores are not permitted.
- You are advised to avoid the treatment if you are currently a nursing or pregnant mother.
- To get the best results from your treatment, follow your provider’s suggested home care regimen.
How Cosmelan Solves Skin Discoloration
We now understand what the Cosmelan treatment entails, but how does it address hyperpigmentation?
The Cosmelan treatment works by inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase, which prevents the skin from producing melanin. The inhibition of this enzyme, on the other hand, occurs when the treatment is used.
When the treatment is finished, the enzyme rebounds and begins producing melanin again, especially when exposed to sunlight.
As a result, after your Cosmelan treatment, you will be provided several Cosmelan aftercare products to help you preserve your results. Long-term effects require consistency in following instructions.
On a side note, tyrosinase inhibition does not result in the disappearance of melanocytes, which are melanin-producing neural crest-derived cells. For the time being, the Cosmelan treatment merely paralyzes or stops melanin production. Otherwise, it risks developing an excessive number of white blemishes, and we want to balance skin tone, so excessive use isn’t ideal either.
How Cosmelan Procedure Works
Here’s how the Cosmelan process works:
- The doctor or provider will begin by cleaning the entire face.
- The Cosmelan treatment will then be applied in the form of a mask.
- Then your doctor or provider will tell you how to remove the peel and when to do so. For the time being, relax while waiting for the Cosmelan to start working.
- When it’s time to clear the mask, use a gentle cleanser and water to remove it
- Repeat as directed by your doctor or provider.
Post Care Instructions
Cosmelan post-care is just as important as the procedure itself. Carefully follow the post-care instructions by your provider, and you will achieve consistent results without hiccups.
