Cosmelan chemical burn. Any suggestions?

Question

I had deep pigmentation and I got Cosleman done at a clinic in Beverly Hills. They had HQ and I look very dark now and I need urgent help. I have my sisters wedding to attend in 10 days. I will be dealing with the demonologist later but my face is a concern!

I would begin with the Kareskin Brightening Kit followed by Clear and Brilliant lasers to help reduce pigmentation and maintain the color. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

Hyperpigmentation will not improve in a short time.  salicylic acid peels, aerolase laser, microneedling and hydrafacials may help.  you will need long term skin lightening.  I suggest seeing a cosmetic dermatologist that specializes in pigmentation.  Best, Dr. Eemr.

Please post a photo of your face. It is typical that you get red first from the peel and then it peels off.  Cosmelan is a great product.  It can only be left on a certain amount of hours depending on skin type as well. Best, Dr. Green
