I did my 10h Cosmelan1 3 days ago. My eyes were a bit stingy and teary for the last 6 hours. I woke up swollen eyes on D1 and D2. I visited my clinic for a LED on D2, they said it was normal and nothing to worry about. I started the Cosmelan 2+HVF-k and Melan Recovery 2/day. This morning,D3, it looks worse (see pic) No pain or itching.It has resided a little during the day. Is there reason for concern? If not, when can I expect the swelling to be gone? By when is the face colour back to normal?
