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.Best, Dr. KaramanoukianRealself100 Surgeon
Some swelling after Cosmelan treatment is acceptable, but if the swelling is severe allergic reaction must be considered.
It is normal for some patients to experience swelling after the cosmelan treatment & around the eye area. It usually is not from an allergic reaction.
NO there should be no swelling if used as directed.You probably are having an allergic reactio to one of the ingredients. See your internist to treat the allergic reaction.
In addition to a variety of acids, Cosmelan also contains botanicals that can incite allergic reactions. To answer your question, it is NOT normal for you to be experiencing what appears to be an allergic reaction. I would seek the care of your doctor as soon as you are able to do so. If you are coughing or experiencing difficulty breathing, you should go to the emergency room immediately.
This certainly sounds like an allergic reaction.Cosmelan has a large variety of ingredients including kojic acid, arbutin, azelaic acid, etc. any of which can cause an allergic reactionHopefully, this peel was done in a physician's office where the treatment of such a reaction should be quite routine. If so, I would return there.If your peel was done in a so-called medi-spa, I would recommend a visit to a dermatologist for treatment. Unfortunately, we are becoming more and more experienced in treating untoward incidents perpetrated by our more avaricious colleagues lured into the cosmetic realm.As Dr. Chen advises, if you are having shortness of breath or weakness, head straight to an ER.
I have no experience with this product but I can still say for sure that this is not "normal" and your doctor would want to know about what you are experiencing asap. You might have an allergic reaction and hopefully not an infection. Call them right away for an evaluation.
Hard to say without a photo provided, if the pigment is really bad we sometimes reccomend doing both treatments, also if depends on how sensative the skin is. I'd prob say try doing the vi peel (precision plus) first, this will help clear out all the dead skin you might have and eliminate...
Great question! Melasma is a skin condition that is very hard to treat because the pigmentation lies deeper in the skin layers. It can be caused by excessive sun exposure, pregnancy, hormone treatment and certain medications. Melasma also has a genetic component and can be a chronic condi...
Hi there,Cosmelan is absolutely an option for lightening your stubborn pigmentation.Cosmelan differs from other peels as it inhibits an enzyme called Tyrosinase which is an enzyme in the melanin formation process. There is also a home care package that comes with Cosmelan that you will use to...
