Will you be ever allowed to tan again after Cosmelan?

Question

As above. Are you able to tan after a year ?

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Melarase creams should be used for several months after a cosmelan peel in order to minimize the risk of long term hyperpigmentation.

Melasma is exacerbated by exposure to the sun and Cosmelan is used to treat melasma. If you don't want to have melasma then you need to wear a good sunscreen and not tan. Otherwise - boom - your melasma will reignite. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot
