Mandelic Peel

We use a Mandelic & Azelaic 22%. This peel is excellent for all skin types including Rosacea. A large molecule equals less irritation. It’s excellent for Fine lines, Acne-Rosacea, Pigmentation and ACNE! It’s antibacterial and antiseptic yet gentle which makes it perfect for young teens with acne, blackheads and congestion.

**Fact! – Mandelic has a very large molecule which gives it is low irritation factor – but it has a stronger pk level than glycolic acid – and that gives it great “action”. Mandelic is derived from an extract of bitter almonds, but will not cause allergic issues.

What kind of peeling can I expect? 

With Mandelic acid there is only a light amount, to no visible peeling. Mandelic is considered a Superficial peel. It can penetrate through the Stratum Corneum and the Stratum Granulsome. Peeling should be completed within 3-7 days. There is not truly any “down time” related with this acid. You may consider a bit of dryness “social downtime”. 

The absence of flaking does not mean that this acid isn’t working though. Flakes are not necessary for changes to occur within the skin. This is the perfect peel for someone that wants refreshed, new and glowing skin, but doesn’t want to deal with the dryness and flakes a stronger peel will have. 

Continual use is recommended for best results. This peel can be done one time every week or every second week for 6-8 treatments, Then as needed, or monthly. Alpha hydroxy acids are considered OK to use during pregnancy and during breastfeeding (lactation). 

If you are searching for these general types of skin improvements, then Mandelic is the acid choice for you. It is great for:

• Rosacea treatment (22%) due to its ability to reduce inflammation.
• Stubborn acne. Many patients can control their acne with Mandelic acid without the need for antibiotics or excessively irritating products.
• Reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Dramatic improvement (as with a glycolic treatment) but without the irritation or post-inflammatory pigmentation often seen with other AHA acids.
• Rapidly improve skin texture and sustain the effect over several months.
• Reducing pigmentation, brown spots and large freckles.
• Treating mild to moderate acne (both comedonal and inflammatory).
• Antibacterial acne treatment which works by stopping growth of skin bacteria that causes acne and by keeping the pore follicles clear.
• Skin pigmentation treatment including Melasma and post-inflammatory pigmentation – particularly those with darker skin types.
• Alternative to hydroquinone due to its Tyrosinase inhibition properties (reducing melanin production).
