What is Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a skin treatment that uses a chemical solution to exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and revealing a fresher, smoother complexion underneath. illumia Medical’s Mandelic Chemical Peel specifically uses mandelic acid, a gentle yet effective alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from almonds.

How Does Chemical Peel Work?

The mandelic acid in the chemical peel penetrates the skin, breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells and encouraging them to shed. This process promotes cell turnover, helping to improve skin texture, reduce blemishes, and enhance overall radiance. Mandelic acid is known for its larger molecular size, which allows for a slower, more even penetration, making it suitable for sensitive skin.
