cosmelan®
The word is synonymous with transformations like you have never seen before. With over a million people worldwide treated successfully for pigmentation, we are used to seeing people with severe melasma who have mind-blowing transformations on social media.
For many of us, severe melasma is not a concern. Often, we have clients who have multiple, nonspecific complaints about their skin which may include the following:
- Wrinkles
- Lines
- Rough skin texture
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
- Sun damage
- Skin laxity
- Uneven colour
The solution we have all been waiting for has been available for some time. cosmelan® 2 maintenance cream may become known as the holy grail of universal anti-ageing creams that target not only one or two but many concerns with one cream. The proof lies in the formula and its combination of treatment ingredients that suppress melanin production, improve cell proliferation, and increase collagen production.
Some of the most effective anti-ageing ingredients are proven to enhance the function of the extracellular matrix. These ingredients include retinol and antioxidants such as ascorbic acid, tocopherol, and niacinamide. The result is a healthy fibroblast function, improved collagen and elastin production, enhanced cell proliferation, and fewer damaged epidermal cells.
This results in a smoother, firmer, and more even skin tone over time.
The protocol is extremely versatile depending on the concern that is being treated. For an aggressive approach in patients well prepared on medical grade skincare, twice daily application will result in a speedy improvement. This approach will result in some downtime, and redness, dryness, and flaking are common side effects.
mesoestetic® melan recovery and melan 130 pigment control should be used daily to reduce sensitivity. In cases where extreme dryness persists, HA densimatrix can be used underneath your cosmelan® 2 application.
Should the patient require a more conservative approach, a once to twice-weekly application can be done. The beauty of this approach is minimal downtime with great results over time.
