A Mandelic Peel is a chemical peel treatment that uses mandelic acid as the primary active ingredient. Mandelic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from almonds. It is known for its gentle exfoliating properties and is often used in skincare to improve the texture and appearance of the skin
Here’s what you might expect from a Mandelic Peel at a med spa like 3D Lifestyle:
- Consultation: Before the treatment, you would likely have a consultation with a trained skincare professional to discuss your skincare concerns, goals, and any potential contraindications.
- Preparing the skin: Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, dirt, or oils. Some practitioners may use a prepping solution to ensure the peel adheres properly.
- Application:The Mandelic Peel solution will be applied evenly to your skin. The acid works to exfoliate the top layer of dead skin cells, which can help improve skin tone, texture, and address concerns like acne, hyperpigmentation, or fine lines.
- Tingling or burning sensation: You may experience a tingling or burning sensation during the peel application, but this is typically temporary and should subside as the peel is neutralized.
- Neutralization: After a specific amount of time, the peel will be neutralized to stop the chemical exfoliation process. This step is crucial to prevent over-exfoliation or irritation.
- Multiple sessions: Depending on your skincare goals, you may need multiple Mandelic Peel sessions spaced several weeks apart to achieve the desired results.
