This gentle alpha hydroxy acid solution will improve surface texture and fine lines, while helping to promote an even skin tone.  It’s a multi-faceted and skin-brightening treatment is an excellent option for sensitive skin and higher Fitzpatrick skin types.

Exfoliates: Mandelic acid is a chemical exfoliant, meaning it removes layers of debris through a reaction with the skin (rather than exfoliating via abrasive scrubs).

Promotes cell turnover: By dissolving skin cells, mandelic acid works to increase cell turnover, reducing the look of skin damage or acne.

Brightens skin: Exfoliated skin is bright skin and mandelic acid goes a step further, strengthening the skin so it stays bright with continued use.

Clears pores: The acid works itself deep into pores, penetrating deeper than other acids often used on blemish-prone skin.

Reduces hyperpigmentation: Increased cell turnover and exfoliating properties means the acid reduces the look of dark marks and sun damage.

Can I wear Makeup after the treatment?

As this treatment does treat the top layer of the dermis, it is recommended you refrain from wearing make – up 24 hours post treatment. This is also to allow deeper penetration of the growth factors for optimal results.

  • Your therapist will recommend a tailored post treatment skincare solution for you to ensure healing reaches its full potential and you reach your optimal results.
  • Wait 7 days or more before receiving filler injections to undergo this treatment.
  • Avoid excessive exercise in the first 24 hours.
  • Wait for two week before tanning and prolonged sun exposure (always wear an SPF when exposing your skin to the sun).
  • Reintroduce actives when skin has normalised – approximately 7 days after procedure.
  • Application of heavier hydrators such as Skin Genius MD DNA repair hydrator or semi occlusive balms aids healing phase.
  • Patients should expect some redness and swelling for 1-2 weeks post procedure while skin peeling typically resolves within 2-7 days. Use Skin Genius MD post treatment care system and Skin Genius MD Gentle Cleansing Treatment.
