Many of our Hispanic patients are seeing tremendous success with a treatment called Cosmelan.  This treatment is perfect for darker skins and involves the application of a medicated facial masque applied to the face and left on for several hours.  Once the masque is taken off, a very specific home protocol is followed for five months, however, results are seen within the first two weeks.  Of course, daily use of sunscreen of an SPF of 30 or higher is also part of the home care.
