The Cosmelan Peel represents a breakthrough formulation comprising a blend of potent and effective ingredients meticulously crafted to address various forms of skin discoloration and hyperpigmentation.
At its core, the Cosmelan Peel works by reducing natural melanin production through the inhibition of an enzyme known as Tyrosinase, responsible for the synthesis of melanin.
Key components of this formula include Azelaic Acid, which serves to eliminate surface bacteria while stimulating the production of new skin cells, and Kojic Acid, derived from various fungi species, which functions to suppress melanin production in the skin.
Through the targeted regulation of melanin production, the Cosmelan Peel effectively diminishes dark spots and evens out skin tone, resulting in a noticeably brighter and firmer complexion with a naturally radiant glow.
The Cosmelan treatment regimen includes a comprehensive home care program for the initial 30 days following the in-clinic treatment.
Your Questions Answered
While you may come across conflicting information online, we believe in transparency and honesty. The Cosmelan peel is considered one of the stronger peels available in Canada. However, it's important to note that it may not be suitable for everyone. If you have sensitive skin, rosacea, acne, reactive skin, or a damaged or compromised skin barrier (even if it's recent), or if you're taking medication or supplements that cause photosensitivity, we do not recommend this treatment for you.
At Loshen & Crem, your skin health and safety are our top priorities. We take great care to achieve results without risking harm. Therefore, we strongly encourage you to contact us before booking the Cosmelan treatment or consider booking a skincare consultation. This will allow us to assess your skin condition thoroughly and provide personalized recommendations tailored to your needs.
The Cosmelan treatment process begins with an in-depth consultation to explain the procedure and provide pre-treatment skincare products. One week before the main procedure, a prep peel may be performed to prepare the skin by removing dead cells and hydrating it, ensuring optimal penetration of the Cosmelan solution.
It's crucial to mentally prepare for this treatment as it requires dedication and discipline. Following the application of the peel, careful skincare is necessary for a minimum of 90 days. Only the Cosmelan home care products should be used during this time to achieve optimal results. Failure to adhere to the recommended regimen may affect the outcome, and responsibility for lack of dedication lies with the individual.
The Cosmelan treatment includes an in-clinic mask application, followed by a long-term homecare program designed to address all phases of hyperpigmentation. Ideally, the treatment should be continued for at least 9 months to 1 year to achieve lasting results.
Two to three days after the treatment, you may notice the skin starting to flake and peel. During this initial phase, you may experience sensations of tightness, itching, and slight redness on the face. While it's uncommon, some individuals may continue to experience peeling for up to a couple of weeks following the treatment. To support the skin's healing process and minimize irritation, we advise avoiding activities such as cardio, hot yoga, hot showers, or anything else that may stimulate the skin during this time.
