Cosmelan

The Cosmelan Process Explained

Cosmelan basically means the hyper-pigmentation of the skin. This focuses mainly on the dark area of the human body and helps to tone the body complexion.

This is greatly achieved by visiting a dermatologist who will guide you through the entire process. What cosmelan does to the skin is to exfoliate the skin (the dark parts of the body) and reduces the effectiveness of melanin.

Melanin as we know is what determines the colour of the skin and cosmelan centers its actions on that area of the body tissues.  

Cosmelan Acts On Melanin

There are basis contents of a cosmelan treatment kit which are vital for producing the desired result. These items are as listed below for in-depth analysis:

1.  The vitamin K cosmelan cream

2.  The cosmelan mask

3.  The decreasing solution

4.  The cosmelan cream 

Using the decreasing solution:

This solution is usually applied by a dermatologist who first needs to clean up the face before an application of the cosmelan mask.

This solution/agent is made up of acetone and water. The face needs to be properly cleaned with decreasing solution to ensure that the skin/face is free from any form of oil as this will guarantee a full penetration of the cosmelan mask. 

Applying the cosmelan mask:

This is also applied by the dermatologist to the skin. The reason for the application is to ensure an almost complete elimination of hyper-pigmentation.

The effect of cosmelan is time based and quickly effective. Once the cosmelan mask is applied on the face of the patient, he/she is quickly asked to go home immediately.

The customer is carefully instructed on what to do as when due and what time to wash off the cosmelan mask. The usual time frame for which the mask should be worn is between 5 – 7 hours.  

How to remove the cosmelan mask:

The removal of the cosmelan mask is done by washing off the mask with water and some amount of face cleanser.

The patient is expected to apply Hydra Vital Factor cream to the skin immediately after removing the mask. Hydra Vital Factor cream helps to heal the faces and at the same time moisturizes it.

In other to avoid damage to the skin, the patient is advised to apply sunscreen to the treated part of the skin to reduce the effect of direct sun rays (sunburn). 

The dermatologist also prescribes a daily application of cosmelan 2 cream as well as Hydra Vital Factor K Cream. This ensures that the treatment and effect remains gradual as well as permanent.

For those who experience some kind of irritation, the dermatologist needs to be informed immediately. The fully result of this whole process of cosmelan is usually experienced within 4-6 weeks.
