Why it works.

Overview

Cosmelan is a depigmentation treatment based on the inhibition of tyrosinase, a basic enzyme in the melanin formation process. The treatment has a light peeling effect that ultimately eliminates melanin patches on the face resulting from melasma. The end result is a refined skin texture and tone.

Technology

Both the treatment and maintenance cream contain ingredients that suppress the overproduction of melanin, the pigment responsible for your natural skin tone as well as age spots and hyperpigmentation.

Inhibiting the activation of tyrosinase reduces the amount of melanin synthesized inside the melanocytes, the melanin-producing skin cells, and carried to the superficial layers of the skin.

Results

Cosmelan is one of few treatments that's been found to be effective for stubborn melasma.
The active ingredients in the treatment mask and at-home cream act on all stages of the melanin production cycle, to both eliminate existing hyperpigmentation and prevent the appearance of new dark spots.
It contains a host of anti-aging ingredients that can help with overall skin rejuvenation.

What happens during a Cosmelan treatment?

On the day of your in-office appointment, Katelyn will cleanse your skin and then apply the Cosmelan chemical mask. The Cosmelan mask will be yellowish-brown and feel just like peanut butter. After it is fully applied, you’ll go home wearing it. Depending on your skin type and sensitivity level, you’ll leave the mask on for 4–10 hours.

It’s common to feel some warmth and mild tingling. If the mask begins to flake off toward the end of the treatment, don’t worry; that’s normal. Use a gentle Atmosphera cleanser to remove the mask.

After 24 hours, you’ll start applying Cosmelan 2 cream twice a day, depending on your ability to tolerate the product. Melan Recovery, a moisturizing cream, is used to counterbalance any irritation from the products.

How long you'll continue to use Cosmelan 2 as an at-home treatment depends on the severity of your pigmentation. Usage is customized from six weeks to six months.

“This treatment is an absolute game-changer! Words can’t express the transformation I’ve experienced thanks to Katelyn’s recommendation. I’ve struggled with Melasma for years, trying countless treatments with no success. But within just 14 days of using this miracle product, my complexion has become flawlessly clear, impeccably even-toned, and irresistibly soft. It’s a solid 10 out of 10, and I couldn’t be happier with the life-changing results!.”

FAQs

Cosmelan does have associated downtime, mostly within the first two weeks. Downtime may include but is not limited to the following: sensitivity, redness, peeling, and slight swelling.
You may NOT receive the Cosmelan Peel if you are pregnant or nursing.
Cosmelan should be performed on its own, and no other active topical skincare products should be used during the protocol unless using approved Atmosphera products.
Many clients will only require one application of the peel. It is not uncommon though to need to repeat this process. It is hard to predict if you will need to repeat the Cosmelan to maintain your results since melasma is quite unpredictable and does require constant vigilance.
