Cosmelan® is a professional depigmenting method with proven effectiveness, indicated for treating skin spots such as melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, solar and age lentigines and freckles. It combines a professional in-salon phase with an at-home maintenance phase. Its great difference is that it doesn't just lighten the spot on the surface, but regulates the overproduction of melanin —the cause of hyperpigmentation— to achieve lasting results and even out skin tone.
The Home Pack brings together the products for the at-home phase of the treatment: the Cosmelan 2 cream, which prolongs the depigmenting action and regulates the melanocyte; Hydra-Vital Factor K, a highly moisturising cream that restores the skin barrier and prevents dehydration; and an essential SPF 50+ sun protection to prevent the spots from reappearing. Together they continue at home the treatment started in the salon.
Cosmelan 2 is applied following a decreasing schedule indicated by the professional: more frequent during the first month (usually several times a day) and more spaced out in the following months. After each daytime application, Hydra-Vital Factor K should be used and, essentially, SPF 50+ sun protection. It is essential to follow the specialist's instructions, as the schedule is adapted to each skin's response.
During the early stages, the skin may experience dryness and flaking; that's why Hydra-Vital Factor K is key to restoring the hydrolipidic film, soothing and providing comfort. SPF 50+ sun protection is equally essential: sun exposure reactivates melanin production and would cause dark spots to reappear. Without proper hydration and strict sun protection, no depigmenting treatment can deliver good results.
The Cosmelan® method is designed to begin with a professional in-salon phase, guided and supervised by a specialist, which the Home Pack then continues. That's why it's recommended that a professional assess the skin and establish the protocol before starting. The Home Pack is the at-home maintenance tool for the treatment; its use should always follow the specialist's guidance to ensure effectiveness and safety.
