Before you decide
Is it right for you?
We tell you frankly when this treatment is a good option and when we'd rather assess you first.
Ideal if…
- You're concerned about dark spots, melasma, or hyperpigmentation on your face
- You notice your skin tone looks dull or uneven
- You have the discipline to follow the at-home phase
- You commit to applying sunscreen every day
We assess you first if…
- You're pregnant or breastfeeding
- The area has wounds, infection, or irritation
- You expect to erase dark spots permanently without protecting yourself from the sun
Before you decide
The questions we hear most, answered straight.
- Does it hurt?
- No needles are used. In the first few days you may feel burning, itching, and tightness, which we manage with the soothing cream and the instructions we give you.
- How long does recovery take?
- Your skin usually turns red and peels for several days; many people prefer to spend that time at home.
How we do it at Quantum
A medical protocol, not a catalog
Every plan starts with a consultation: we listen to what you want to achieve, review your medical history and decide whether this treatment is right for you.
- 01
Medical consultation
Before any treatment is applied, we review your case and explain what is possible and what isn't.
- 02
D10 Facial Scanner
Everything starts with a consultation, not a catalog: we analyze your skin and scalp before recommending any treatment.
- 03
Follow-up visit
We review the result with you and adjust the plan if needed.
What it is and how it works
Dark spot treatment (Cosmelan)
Cosmelan is a protocol that regulates the production of melanin, the pigment that forms dark spots, to help even out your skin tone. It starts at the clinic, where we apply the Cosme 1 mask, and continues at home with Cosme 2. The complete protocol also includes sunscreen and a soothing cream.
It's recommended for dark spots, melasma, hyperpigmentation, or a dull facial tone, as long as you can follow the at-home phase consistently and use sunscreen every day: without that, the pigment comes back. We don't perform it during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or on skin that is irritated, broken, or infected.
The in-office application takes about 30 minutes. Over the following days your skin turns red and peels, and improvement appears gradually over weeks; every skin responds differently. The complete protocol starts at $3.500.000 and includes the consultation, the products, and our professional follow-up.
