First and second day
During the first two days of the treatment, the skin may turn red. If the skin is very sensitive, the patient may experience an itching feeling. Slight burning and tightening of the skin is also absolutely normal, especially during the first 24 to 48 hours after starting the treatment. To relieve these problems, it is advisable to apply the creams advised.
Redness of the Skin
The reddening that occurs on the face after applying the Cosmelan mask treatment is similar to the effects of day-long exposure to the sun in the snow without protection.
Flaking may occur on all skin types between the second and third day. In this case it is advisable to apply cream advised, repeating this every two hours on the day when the flaking is most intense until it improves. Do not pull on the flakes. Do not rub or scratch the skin. Do not use exfoliants, scrubs or peels. Avoid steam baths, saunas and swimming in a hot spring for 2 weeks following treatment. It is advisable to wait until the initial flaking period is over before starting to apply make-up again.
Third and fourth day
After the third or fourth day, the skin appears healthy and luminous and the marks begin to fade.
