FAQ

​

Does cosmelan® work with any type of spot?

​

With Cosmelan® we treat all types of spots of melanin origin, that is, spots originating due to melanin overproduction triggered by several factors (hormonal, genetic, post-acne, post-depilation factors, etc.) that worsen due to sun exposure. Therefore, cosmelan® is effective to treat spots such as: melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentations (PIH), solar, senile lentigo and freckles.

​

What is the best time to use cosmelan®?

​

Cosmelan® can be used at any time of the year, though it is advisable to do it at times when sun exposure is not so intense or prolonged, such as the winter and autumn. In case you live in a hot region or apply the treatment in the summer, you must take greater care and use a very high sunscreen, such as melan 130 pigment control and avoid completely very intense and prolonged sun exposure.

​

How long does the treatment last?

​

The cosmelan® method uses a 3-step protocol necessary to achieve the desired outcome. Prep at home, Intensive depigmentation in a clinic and post procedure home treatment. The total treatment lasts approximately 6 months. The duration may vary depending on the severity and intensity of the skin spot

​​

How long will it take to see the results? Why should I continue the treatment if the results are already seen before completing it?

​

The most significant change takes place a few weeks after applying the mask in clinic, it improves skin texture and spots decrease noticeably. This can give a misleading feeling of success. During this period melanin has been removed from the outermost skin layers, and therefore we see the spot much more faded and the skin smoother and softer, but the origin of the problem has not been controlled yet. The melanocyte, a cell where melanin is produced, is still uncontrolled and continues to produce pigment (melanin) in excess. To re-educate the melanocyte and control this overproduction, it is important to continue a home treatment with regulating action, so that the cell returns to a normal active state and therefore prevent spots from reappearing.

​

What happens if I stop applying the home treatment?

​

If you do not follow the home regimen, you are interrupting the treatment and will therefore not obtain the expected results. Not applying cosmelan 2 depigmenting cream with regulating action involves not regulating the melanocyte and, therefore, a persistent uncontrolled, excessive production of melanin. The spot will reappear as the skin layers are renewed, as melanin migrates to the surface making the spot increasingly evident.
Not using photoprotection, melan 130 pigment control, involves a very high risk that the spot returns, as skin is more sensitive and receptive to external aggressions during the treatment.

​

Can I combine the cosmelan method with other depigmentation treatments?

​

In the last months, you can combine with other treatments to help you to prolong the results, such as melan tran3x concentrate and melan tran3x gel-cream.

​

Does the treatment make me unable to fulfil my daily life activities normally?

​

As it is not an invasive treatment, it does not make you unable to fulfil your activities of daily living normally. Caution must be exerted when fulfilling some type of activities during the first days, a skin adaptation period after the cabin treatment. For instance, it is advisable to avoid bathing in swimming pools, prolonged sun exposure and activities that involve excessive sweating

​

Can the spots return after the end of treatment?

​

After an adequate professional treatment, excess pigmentation can be removed visibly. However, it is a dynamic process, where the imbalance forming them can cause their recurrence. Therefore, even if the spots are not seen, it is essential to apply a daily regulatory depigmentation treatment and photoprotection throughout the year to prevent repigmentation.

​

How can I prevent the appearance of spots after the treatment?

​

In case you are under the effect of any of the triggering factors for the appearance of spots (contraceptives, pregnancy, summer season, post-depilation, post-acne, post-peel, under photosensitising treatment, etc.), a daily treatment routine is essential, combining a depigmentation treatment, such as melan tran3x, with a high photoprotector such as melan 130 pigment control.

​

Does the cosmelan® treatment have side effects?

​

If used correctly and under the supervision of a professional, there should be no side effects. Cosmelan® is a topical treatment, therefore minimally invasive, that does not prevent you from following your normal daily life. During the initial phase and following the treatment in consultation, the skin may become irritated or show redness. This is totally normal and expected, and it will disappear within a few days. During the home phase, it is common to experience slight peeling and sensitivity, which are symptoms that disappear when applying the home products recommended by the specialist.

​

How does cosmelan® act against acne?

​

Cosmelan® is a depigmentation treatment; therefore, it is not indicated to treat active acne. However, acne has an inflammatory component that can lead to the appearance of skin spots, known as PIH (Post-inflammatory Hyperpigmentation). cosmelan® is effective on this type of spots caused by acne, in all skin types and phototypes.

​

What is the main difference between cosmelan® and dermamelan®?

​

Both are depigmentation treatments that produce excellent results, but Cosmelan® is an aesthetic treatment, whereas Dermamelan® is a treatment that requires a doctor's supervision and monitoring. .

​

cosmelan® peel: is cosmelan® a peel?

​

Although often referred to as Cosmelan® peel, the cosmelan® treatment goes beyond a peel. Unlike peels, which act on the surface of the problem, cosmelan® gets to the root of the problem. It consists in a treatment that visibly removes and attenuates pigmentation spots (like a peel) while exerting a regulating action that corrects the overproduction of pigmentation and prevents the spots from reappearing
