Mandelic acid peels -CHIH-LI Medical Beauty Group

Treatment Introduction

❀Amygdaline mainly refers to fruit acid peels - the most commonly used peeling procedure today.

It can promote the proliferation and rearrangement of collagen fibers in the dermis, so that the matrix in the dermis increases and becomes smoother and more elastic, and can also improve scars.
It is generally used to remove the accumulated keratin in pores, eliminate inflammation, blackheads, whiteheads, acne, etc.

❀Principle of acid brushing

Using a certain concentration of acidity products on the skin dissolves the oil attached to the keratinocytes, prompting the aging stratum corneum to shed and allowing the skin's metabolism to accelerate. Brushing acid also prevents abnormal keratin build-up, promotes epidermal cell activation and renewal, and reduces melanin production, and the fruit acid molecule has good moisturizing ability.
Amygdaline can prevent and block the formation of melanin protein, balance sebum secretion, and has a good effect on acne and pus, so it is suitable for regulating shine, improving acne scars and other problems, thus enhancing the brightness of the skin.

This completes the treatment over a period of approximately 3 months. As for maintenance, it is recommended to have a session once a month.

What precautions should be taken when using Mandelic acid peels?

Mandelic acid has a certain level of irritability, so if you have sensitive or inflamed skin, it is advisable to consult a physician before using it. Once your skin is stabilized, you can assess whether it is suitable for use.

Will the skin be more prone to tanning after using Mandelic acid for skincare?

Mandelic acid peels do not have the same photosensitivity as products containing AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid). Therefore, using acid-based products will not make the skin darker. However, during the initial stages of using acid-based skincare, the accelerated turnover of the stratum corneum may reduce its ability to block UV rays. This can potentially trigger melanin production if exposed to excessive sunlight. Therefore, after completing Mandelic acid skincare, it is important to apply sunscreen for protection.
