A protocol,

not a session.

STEP 01

The in-clinic session involves a single application of the Cosmelan peel mask by your doctor. It is left on the skin for a specific period of time determined by your doctor.

STEP 02

You then go home with the mask still on and wash it off at the instructed time.

STEP 03

A carefully structured home-care phase lasting 3 to 6 months follows. Your doctor prescribes a specific routine using Cosmelan maintenance products.

STEP 04

This home-care phase is not optional. It is integral to the outcome. Skipping or inconsistently following it significantly affects results.

Duration

Single in-clinic session

The active treatment and home-care phase runs for 3 to 6 months. Visible improvement in pigmentation typically begins within 2 to 4 weeks.

Downtime

1 to 2 weeks

The first 1 to 2 weeks can involve noticeable redness, sensitivity, and peeling as the skin responds. This is expected and settles as the skin adjusts.

Recovery

3 to 6 months

More significant results emerge progressively over the course of the maintenance phase. Most people find it manageable when they follow the prescribed aftercare closely.
