Can Cosmelan 1 Be Applied at Home?

Question

I would like to know if I can apply Cosmelan 1 by myself at home?

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

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

George T. Boris, MD, FRCS · Answer

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

Jeffrey J. Roth, MD, FACS · Answer

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.

Samir Shureih, MD · Answer

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.
