Cosmelan MD Peel Philadelphia
COSMELAN MD™ PEEL
Say goodbye to sun damage, melasma, acne scarring, and hyperpigmentation with the Cosmelan Peel.
The Cosmelan Peel
The Cosmelan Peel is a unique, multi-ingredient chemical treatment designed to reduce areas of skin discoloration and hyperpigmentation. The Cosmelan Peel decreases the skin’s natural melanin production by inhibiting certain enzymes, providing an even complexion.
A Cosmelan Peel can be used to improve the look of skin on the face and body. Dull skin, dry areas, dark spots, blemishes, and acne scars can be significantly reduced with the peel. Discoloration due to Melasma (Brown to gray patches over the bridge of the nose, cheeks, chin, and elsewhere on the face and body; often the result of hormonal changes) and Cholasma (similar to Melasma; referred to as the Mask of Pregnancy) can be eliminated with the Cosmelan Peel. In addition, the peel balances the skin’s oil production to improve acne.
Benefits of a Cosmelan Peel:
- Reduces dark spots and hyperpigmentation
- Effective in the treatment of Melasma and Cholasma
- Minimal discomfort
- Results Almost Immediately
- Gentle enough for all skin types
- Few side effects
