Is Cosmelan 2 a whole mask or spot treatment? I just had Cosmelan 1 applied two days ago. Not sure how people can go in public with the orange face is Cosmelan 2.

I would wait before continuing more of the therapy to see if the differential in color resolves. In the meantime, apply Elevase Moisture Booster to help heal the skin. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles
Treating PIH and melasma with cosmelan may make your skin hypersensitive. I would suggest Melarase creams and Elevase Moisture Booster as part of the post-treatment regimen to reduce redness and pigmentation risk.

Cosmelan formulations have changed over the years. In our office, we use a combination of Melarase AM and Melarase PM followed by Melapeels to address melasma and hyper pigmentation. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles
