Cosmelan in Las Vegas, Nevada (NV)
Cosmelan is a topical skin depigmentation cream that reduces
the appearance of blotchy dark spots on the face for a more even skin tone.
Cosmelan can treat melasma, age spots, and hyper-pigmentation by inhibiting the
skin enzyme tyrosinase, which is involved in the production of the skin pigment
melanin.
How Cosmelan treatment is performed
Cosmelan treatment involves a cream mask that is applied by your dermatologist, as well as home applications of Cosmelan cream over a period four weeks.Your dermatologist will cleanse your face to remove surface oils and then apply the Cosmelan cream. You go home after the application. The cream forms a mask that you will keep on for 8 to 12 hours and then wash off with water. You then apply an at-home version of the Cosmelan cream three times a day for four weeks.
