Treatment can be safely repeated every 12 months.

The Cosmelan formula contains an exclusive combination of active ingredients with proven efficacy, which act on all stages of the hyperpigmentation process to completely eliminate existing hyperpigmentation, preventing both their reappearance and the appearance of new dark spots.

Regulating Action
Cosmelan works at two levels: At the first level by inhibiting the activation of tyrosinase inside the melanosome, reducing the oxidative stress, and thereby reducing melanin synthesis; at a second level, by containing copper chelators (Cu2+) tyrosinase function is reduced. Cosmelan acts by blocking the transfer of the melanosome to the keratinocytes, thereby preventing movement of the pigment to the superficial layers of the skin.

Corrective Action
It acts by reducing the amount of melanin synthesised, reducing the intensity of the dark spot. It also acts on the stratum corneum, stimulating the renewal of the epidermis and intensively eliminating the accumulation of melanin.
