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. The antibacterial properties of Mandelic Acid make this an effective treatment for acne, while the gentle formulation ensures this is an excellent option for sensitive skins.
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.
During Treatment

The skin will be cleansed to remove any dirt or oils.
Next, the Mandelic Acid solution will be applied onto the skin.
Patients can add on a concentrated custom infusion blend, once discussed with their treating dermal therapist.
