Cosmelan

The Cosmelan De-Pigmentation Peel is a 2-step process. Step 1 is done in the clinic, and step 2 is done by you at home in addition to skin maintenance appointments in-clinic.

During your consultation you will speak with one of our skin experts and they will help to determine which Cosmelan package will be best suited to you. Getting a Cosmelan Peel is relatively quick and painless, with little downtime. You will however need to be tenacious with the regime for the 6 months following your Peel in order to get the results you desire.

Depending on the condition of your skin and also the products you currently use, your skin may need to be prepared in the month leading up to your Cosmelan Peel, so it is recommended you allow for this additional time and book your consultation ASAP.

One important thing to note is that once applied, the mask has to be worn for a period of time following application (8-12 hours) and has an appearance similar to smooth peanut butter. Because of the time needed for the peel to develop on the skin, we will apply the mask in the morning. Fortunately you can make a quick escape to your car via the lift located on our level down to the carpark - though it is not terribly unattractive as you can see below:

Step 1: After determining the best course of action for your unique concerns, the peel is applied by one of our skin experts who, strictly following the protocol, applies the degreasing solution and face mask in the clinic. This first step involves the application of a thick, peanut butter-like cream. The mask contains Azelaic Acid, Kojic Acid, Phytic Acid, Ascorbic Acid, Arbutine, and Titanium Dioxide and is non-toxic.

Once the mask has been applied you can return home, but you must avoid exposure to sources of light and heat. The mask should remain on the face for 8-12 hours, though the total amount of time depends on your skin type and the amount of hyperpigmentation being treated. Your unique treatment time will be determined by your skin expert at The Beauty Collective during your initial consultation and you must ensure you carefully follow your unique written instructions - All of which will be given to you during step 1 in-clinic.

Step 2: At the end of the time specified by your Beauty Collective expert, you will remove the mask at home, carefully cleansing the application area with plenty of lukewarm water. It is important that you never exceed your unique recommended application time.

The second step in the process is a daily at-home application of products that helps to maintain the results achieved with the Cosmelan Peel, whilst preventing the appearance of new dark spots and areas of hyperpigmentation. The active Cosmelan Peel process continues at home 48-hours after its removal, and on day 3 a special Cosmelan specific facial and mask will be applied to soothe the skin, along with a HEALITE II LED session to greatly speed up heal time and further produce collagen. This will feel like heaven as at this point you will be red and possibly slightly swollen.

As mentioned above, your skin expert at The Beauty Collective will give you detailed, easy to follow instructions, to ensure the desired result is achieved. The complete home treatment lasts for 6 months and consistency is essential to ensure the guaranteed results.

Following the initial treatment, the your pigment will appear lighter in colour, and you will begin to notice results fairly quickly which will continue to improve over the course of the treatment.
