What does Cosmelan treatment do?
Cosmelan is a professional depigmentation treatment designed to reduce dark spots and hyperpigmentation. It works by inhibiting the enzyme responsible for melanin production, leading to a more even skin tone. The treatment helps in reducing various types of pigmentation, including melasma, sunspots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
How long does Cosmelan last for?
The results of Cosmelan treatment can last for several months, depending on individual skin types and lifestyle factors. While it significantly reduces pigmentation, ongoing maintenance, including proper skincare and sun protection, is essential to prolong the effects and prevent new pigmentation from forming.
