Jason Emer, MD · Answer

cosmelan is red and somewhat painful for 2 weeks or longer.  you sould be on the right aftercare.  Hyperpigmentation from any type needs a combination approach of peels like cosmelan,  lasers like clear and brilliant and aerolase or laser genesis, radiofrequency like venus viva, and constant skin care and sun protection.  Bimontly facials with silk peel dermalinfusion is essential to hydrate, exfoliate and infuse vitamins and antioxidants into the skin.  If you have acne you can do additional treatments and peels to get more improvement.  I suggest a formal consultation with an expert in lasers and peels. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi, Redness and skin irritation is normal for a week post cosmelan. Your skin may look darker till then. Do not panic. This is usual. Kindly follow the instructions from your doctor. Good luck.
