What is a Cosmelan Peel?

Cosmelan is a highly effective, hydroquinone-based depigmentation method that uses a unique dual-action technique that produces both short-term and long-term results. Cosmelan both corrects and regulates. This means that not only will visible spots fade or disappear after treatment, but also the source of hyperpigmentation, melanocyte overproduction, is addressed. No heat is used with the treatment, and it does not affect pH levels, which makes it a very safe and gentle option for difficult-to-treat and severe skin spots. The entire treatment is made up of 4 distinct phases that require committed application by the patient for optimal outcomes. These phases are outlined below.

Phase I: Intense Depigmentation

This is the initial peel which is administered during an office appointment at Saxon MD. A thick mask known as Cosmelan I will be applied to your face and left on for 8-12 hours.

Phase II: Continuous Depigmentation

Phase II begins about 48 hours after the initial treatment, and the products used are all provided in a home kit. Phase II involves the application of two depigmentation products, Cosmelan II and Recovery, three times a day for 30 days. You will also need to apply a strong SPF which is provided in the kit.

Phase III: Regulation

For Phase III, applications of the two products are lowered to just twice a day, AM and PM, along with the SPF 2-3 times per day for two months.

Phase IV: Control

For three months after that, you will only need to apply the Cosmelan II at night and SPF AM and afternoon.

Candidates for Cosmelan

Am I a candidate for Cosmelan?

To likely be a great candidate for our Cosmelan Peel Dallas or Austin patients should be looking to correct hyperpigmentation in their skin. One of the great aspects of the procedure is that it’s safe and effective for all skin types.

However, those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, recent Accutane users, or patients with active rosacea will need to avoid treatment with this peel. Optimal candidates for Cosmelan want to:

  • Correct hyperpigmentation due to genetics, post-inflammation, hormones, aging, sun exposure, and more
  • Address hyperpigmentation on the face, hands, stomach, breasts, legs, or feet

Consultation

Consultation and Preparation

At a consultation, we will take a complete medical history, discuss your aesthetic goals, and walk you through the treatment process step-by-step.

Procedure

The first phase of treatment, Cosmelan I, is applied in the office. Once the mask is on, and we are confident there are no adverse reactions, you can go home, but you will need to avoid bright light and heat sources. The best timeframe for your needs will be planned out, and after 8-12 hours, you will be able to wash the mask off at home and follow all precautionary guidelines. Proper healing is the most vital part of the process, so it’s very important to completely avoid the sun and implement the post-care regimen.

Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

During the first six days especially, you will experience quite a bit of itchiness and eventually flaking. This is normal, and while it can be difficult to ignore, it is crucial to leave your skin alone and let the process happen. Many patients begin to see results after just a few days, but optimal results should be beautifully visible after about 3-6 weeks.
