Cosmelan MD

Am I A Candidate For Cosmelan?

The Cosmelan MD Depigmentation Treatment is safe for use on all skin types. During your consultation, one of our surgeons will discuss your skin goals and tailor a treatment plan that will help you achieve them.

What to Expect During Your Cosmelan Treatment

There are two phases of the Cosmelan MD Depigmentation Treatment; the first part of your treatment will consist of the application of a yellow color mask (Cosmelan 1) after a thorough cleansing of the skin in your state-of-the-art treatment room at the My Houston Surgeons office. Your physician will instruct you to leave the mask in place for 4-8 hours, depending on your skin type, and then you will be allowed to go home with the mask on. After your prescribed wait time has elapsed, you can wash away the mask with a neutral cleanser and water. Immediately after removing the mask, you will apply the provided Mesoestetic Hydra-vital factor K cream to your freshly cleansed skin.

The second part of your Cosmelan MD Depigmentation Treatment is ongoing routine maintenance consisting of a daily application of the Cosmelan 2 cream. You will apply this cream three times per day for one week, twice a day for the second week, and then once a day in the third week following your initial mask.

Cosmelan Recovery

In the first two days of the Cosmelan MD treatment, it is common for the skin to turn red. In the first 24-48 hours of treatment, tightening of the skin and slight burning is typical and not a cause for concern. Patients with sensitive skin may experience some itching. Flaking is also common between the second and third day. My Houston Surgeons recommend applying Mesoestetic Hydra-vital factor K to relieve these symptoms as necessary. In approximately four days following the start of the treatment, most patients find that their skin looks luminous, healthy, and more even in tone as dark spots from hyperpigmentation begin to fade.
