Right After Treatment (First 1-2 Days):
Expect Some Redness and Peeling: Your skin is starting its renewal process. It's completely normal to see redness and experience peeling over the next few days. Think of it as your skin shedding its old layers to reveal the fresh, new you underneath.
Possible Itching and Tightness: If your skin is on the sensitive side, you might feel some itching or a tightening sensation. This is your skin’s way of adjusting to the treatment.
Burning Sensation: A slight burning feeling right after the treatment is common. It’s a sign that the Cosmelan is working.
Comfort Tip: Apply mesoHydra-vital factor K cream generously whenever you need it. It’s your go-to for soothing and hydrating your skin during this time.
What to Expect Days 2-5:
Redness: You’ll notice that your face is still a little red. Don’t worry—this is a normal part of the process.
Flaking and Peeling: By days two to three, your skin will likely start flaking and peeling. This is your skin's way of getting rid of the old, pigmented layers.
Hydrate Often: To help manage the peeling, apply the Mesoestetic®Hydra-vital factor K cream frequently. On the day when peeling is at its peak, try to apply it every two hours. Your skin will thank you!
What to Expect Days 5-6 and Beyond:
Calmer Skin: By day five or six, your skin should start to feel calmer. The redness and peeling will begin to subside.
First Signs of Brightening: You should notice that some of the pigmentation is starting to fade.
Smooth Skin Ahead: Once the peeling stops, your skin will feel smoother and more refined. You’re on your way to a brighter complexion!
-
Keep Moisturizing: Continue using the Hydra-vital factor K cream. Keeping your skin hydrated is crucial for its healing.
Sun Protection is Key: Always wear a high-SPF, broad-spectrum sunscreen. Your skin will be more sensitive to sunlight, and protecting it is essential to avoid pigmentation and damage.
No Swimming for Now: Give it 48-72 hours before jumping into a pool or the ocean.
Skip the Tanning Beds: Stay away from tanning beds. They can undo all the good work your treatment is doing.
Avoid Other Lightening Agents: Don't use other skin lighteners like Hydroquinone, Kojic Acid, Azelaic Acid, arbutin, or Retin-A while you’re on this treatment.
Hold Off on Glycolic Acid: Stay clear of glycolic acid products for 30 days post-treatment.
Steer Clear of Heat: Try to avoid anything that can make you sweat or get overheated, such as intense exercise, hot cooking, or heavy cleaning. This is especially important while you’re wearing the Cosmelan #1 mask.
Extra Tips Just for You:
Gentle Touch: Use mild cleansers and moisturizers. Be kind to your skin—it’s in recovery mode.
Hands Off!: Resist the urge to pick or peel the flaking skin. Let it shed naturally.
Stay Observant: Keep an eye on your skin’s progress. If anything seems off or if you’re worried about your skin’s reaction, reach out to your skincare professional.
