How quickly will I see results?
Everyone is different. The average reduction after 4 weeks is 80% but some may experience more or less.
Can Cosmelan be performed on the body?
Cosmelan is for the face, neck or chest only. It cannot be used on any other part of the body for two reasons. Firstly, the mask/ peel needs to be left on for a long period of time and cannot be covered with clothing. Secondly, due to the down time of the treatment clothing and movement would cause friction and irritation to the areas which would lead to an adverse reaction and scarring.
Can I use any other branded products at home wiles on the Cosmelan 12-month method?
No. The only products that can be introduced within the 12 month period are mesoestetic products. As they have formulated their products to coincide with their in-clinic treatment this is the only way to ensure that the treatment will work effectively and prevent adverse reactions.
