The Cosmelan peel is a two-step treatment performed by our licensed skin care professional at Mirror Mirror Aesthetics & Wellness. Several hours after applying the peel to the skin, it is washed off with water at home. A secondary cream is applied after the mask is removed to protect the new skin growth. Unlike other skin-brightening products and chemical peels, Cosmelan peels contain ingredients that are specifically designed to treat specific symptoms of melasma caused by hormone changes during pregnancy or menopause, as well as hyperpigmentation caused by sun exposure or genetics. The Cosmelan peel may be beneficial to those who have had adverse reactions to creams containing hydroquinone or tretinoin in the past. As well as using it on the face, it can also be used on different areas of the body, including the armpits, knees, back, and elbows.
Chemical Peels can deliver long-term results and correct imperfections on the skin.

The Cosmelan Peel treatment is suitable for all types of skin, including darker skin types with a tendency to hyperpigmentation post-inflammatory.
In as little as 1 to 2 weeks, patients may begin to see noticeable results depending on their pigmentation and skin condition.
The Cosmelan peel must be combined with home maintenance for the best cosmetic results. Providing you follow the at-home maintenance protocol and avoid excessive sun exposure, the results from the Cosmelan chemical peel will last permanently.
The Cosmelan Peel causes some facial redness, irritation, and light flaking over the course of two weeks, which are all positive indicators that it is working. Throughout the healing process, patients may also experience some sensitivity and tightness of the skin.
