Superficial AHA Peel

Overview

The AHA Mandelic Peel utilizes a larger molecular weight, meaning it travels through the stratum corneum at a slower, more measured pace.This gradual absorption ensures a highly controlled clinical exfoliation. Mandelic acid is uniquely both water-soluble and lipid-soluble, allowing it to dissolve surface debris while simultaneously penetrating deep into the lipid-rich sebaceous filaments to clear out congested pores. It offers a highly effective, comfortable alternative for patients who cannot tolerate traditional, aggressive chemical peels. It effectively reduces blemishes, fades dark spots, and smooths fine lines with minimal irritation, making it the premier choice for sensitive skin types. ol

Benefits

• Controlled Exfoliation: Large molecular size penetrates the skin slowly, significantly reducing irritation, redness, and discomfort.
• Antimicrobial Properties: Actively targets acne-causing bacteria to clear blemishes, reduce breakouts, and regulate sebum production.
• Melanin Regulation: Inhibits pigment production to safely fade post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), sun spots, and melasma.
• Texture Refinement: Gently dissolves superficial dead skin cells to reveal smoother, brighter, and more evenly textured skin.
• Safe for Rich Skin Tones: Low risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, making it exceptionally safe for darker Fitzpatrick skin types (4–6).

Treatment Process

1. 1Treatment Process:
2. 2Clinical Cleansing: A thorough double-cleanse removes all surface sebum, environmental pollutants, and makeup.
3. 3Prep: An alcohol-based degreasing solution is applied to ensure uniform acid absorption across the treatment area.
4. 4Application: The Mandelic acid solution is applied evenly using a clinical brush or gauze. Clients typically experience a mild, highly tolerable warming or tingling sensation.
5. 5Neutralisation: The peel is deactivated with a professional neutralizing solution and rinsed thoroughly with cool water.
6. 6Post-Treatment Protection: A custom layer of hydrating serums, a barrier-repairing cream, and broad-spectrum SPF are applied.

Aftercare

• To preserve your clinical results and ensure structural healing, adhere to this 7-day post-treatment protocol:
• Photoprotection: Daily application of a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher is mandatory. Minimize direct UV exposure for 7 days.
• Gentle Hygiene: Wash your face using lukewarm water and a soap-free, non-stripping cleanser.
• Avoid high heat (saunas, steam rooms).
• Barrier Support: Apply a nourishing, fragrance-free moisturizer frequently to counter any temporary dryness.
• Mechanical Abstinence: Do not scrub, use facial brushes, or pick at any minor flaking that may occur.
• Cosmetics: Avoid applying makeup for the first 24 hours to let the epidermal barrier stabilize.
• Physical Exertion: Refrain from strenuous workouts and heavy sweating for 24 to 48 hours.
