Can Cosmelan 1 Be Applied at Home?

For patients who request a home maintenance plan for melasma, I begin with topical Melarase creams used twice daily to reduce hyperpigmentation. Raffy Karamanoukian MD

Absolutely not! I do not reccomend this for home treatments, go to your provider and have this treatment done professionally, cosmelan is a great treatment to help get rid of pigmentation but it can also do damage if its not used correctly. Good Luck

Cosmelan is a system (using medicines) available only in a doctor's office. It should be applied by a trained professional. 
Later, the mask can be taken off at home by the patient, and the home creams can then be started.

The mask is applied at the Dr. Office and kept for about 4 hours then you wash it off and start the creams at home.
