If you’ve just had a Cosmelan treatment or are considering one, you’ve probably heard about how effective it is for melasma, sunspots, and stubborn pigmentation. But there’s one part of the treatment that often gets overlooked: aftercare.
And believe us—aftercare is everything.
It’s the difference between good results… and glowing, long-lasting skin transformation.
Here’s what no one tells you about Cosmelan aftercare—but you absolutely need to know:
🧴 1. Cosmelan 2 Is Not Optional—It’s Half the Treatment
A lot of people think the in-clinic mask (Cosmelan 1) is the whole treatment.
It’s not.
Cosmelan 2—the home care cream—is just as important.
You must use Cosmelan 2 daily for at least 4 to 6 months to regulate melanin production and prevent pigmentation from coming back.
👉 Think of Cosmelan 2 as the “training phase” for your skin. It helps stabilize results and reduce the risk of rebound pigmentation.
☀️ 2. Sunscreen Is Non-Negotiable
Your skin will be extremely sensitive after Cosmelan, especially in the first weeks. That means even a few minutes of unprotected sun exposure can undo all the progress.
Use a broad-spectrum SPF 50+, ideally one formulated for post-procedure skin—like Mesoestetic Mesoprotech Melan 130 Pigment Control.
Apply every morning, and reapply every 2 hours if you're outdoors.
💧 3. Moisture is Your Best Friend
After Cosmelan, your skin might feel:
-
Dry
-
Tight
-
Flaky
That’s normal. But if you don’t hydrate properly, you can trigger inflammation or irritation.
Use a soothing, repairing cream like Melan Recovery to:
✔ Calm redness
✔ Strengthen your skin barrier
✔ Reduce peeling and discomfort
Hydrated skin heals faster—and looks better.
🧼 4. Skip Actives (For Now)
It’s tempting to go back to your usual skincare, but hold off on acids, retinol, or exfoliants for a few weeks.
Your skin is healing, and anything too strong can cause irritation or worsen pigmentation.
Stick to:
-
Gentle cleansers
-
Recovery creams
-
SPF
Keep it simple and supportive.
⏳ 5. Results Take Time—Be Patient and Consistent
You might start seeing changes in 1–2 weeks, but the real results happen after 30 to 60 days.
Pigmentation fades gradually, and consistency is key.
Don’t stop just because your skin “looks better.” Continue your Cosmelan 2 and SPF routine as directed—this is what makes the results last.
💬 Final Thoughts: Trust the Process
Cosmelan is one of the most effective pigmentation treatments in the world, but it doesn’t end at the clinic.
What you do after matters just as much—if not more.
By following proper aftercare, you’re not just treating your skin…
You're transforming it.
