“I love the difference! I feel more confident, even without makeup on. I am so glad I came to Dr. Pilest’s office and had this procedure.” Chandra Krout (Cosmelan)
Cosmelan is a time-tested and successful treatment for skins of all types and ages. Skin discoloration bothers a huge percentage of the population in Southern California. Lifting pigmentation and keeping pigment formation under control is the dual goal of Cosmelan – and it works!
Why Cosmelan is effective & safe
No hydroquinone – appropriate for nearly every skin type
Multiple pigment removing ingredients combined in one system
Accelerated cell turnover “pushes” present pigment cells to the surface where they are sloughed off.
Expect a little peeling and redness – that’s all normal!
Cosmelan will cause noticeable peeling and redness in the first 3 to 5 days. We recommend beginning your treatment near the end of the week so the major peeling is experienced over the weekend when you will not be in school or at work.
*Note: You MUST protect your skin from sun exposure with a full spectrum sunblock to prevent pigmentation return.
