COSMELAN® DEPIGMENTATION SYSTEM

Cosmelan® is recognized as the #1 treatment in the world for hyperpigmentation, and we are proud to have been the FIRST in Santa Barbara to offer it! Cosmelan® utilizes a unique combination of active ingredients that regulate the overproduction of melanin in the melanocytes – the pigment producing cells in our skin. It has a dual corrective and regulatory action achieving both short and long term results by keeping hyperpigmentation under control.

Cosmelan® is suitable for ALL Fitzpatrick skin types, as it does NOT produce a heat response in the skin. Asian, Mediterranean and Latin skin types will often be told to avoid laser treatments. So, if you’ve been told that you’re not a candidate for laser treatments, then Cosmelan® is definitely the treatment for you!

Although Cosmelan® is often used to treat melasma, it works on ALL 3 forms of pigmentation. It removes sun damage including some freckles and age spots (liver spots), as well as any post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) left over from acne.

The treatment is simple! The Cosmelan1 mask is applied in office, and must stay on the skin between 8-10 hours, as instructed. In the 2-3 months following treatment, you will apply the Cosmelan2 maintenance cream daily. The first week of the treatment is similar to your average medium-depth chemical peel. In the weeks following, you can expect redness/irritation. You should avoid doing the Cosmelan® system in hotter months, or before sun excessive exposure.
