Mandeliclear Chemical Peel

The Mandeliclear Chemical Peel is a powerful resurfacing treatment designed to target stubborn skin concerns, such as pigmentation, acne scarring, and fine lines. This innovative peel combines the power of mandelic acid with a unique blend of botanical extracts to deliver remarkable results while maintaining the integrity of your skin.

Ideal for those looking for a more advanced solution, this peel works by gently exfoliating the outer layers of your skin, promoting cellular turnover and revealing a brighter, smoother complexion. Following the treatment, you may notice a gradual shedding process as your skin works to eliminate dead skin cells. This shedding typically occurs over the next 3 to 7 days, during which your skin may appear slightly flaky or dry. This is a natural part of the rejuvenation process, leading to fresh, revitalised skin underneath.

Circadia’s Mandeliclear peel is applied in thin layers, with up to three layers used depending on your skin’s tolerance and previous peel experience. This is followed by the application of Vitamin A to boost cell turnover, encouraging fresh, rejuvenated skin.

Unlike traditional peels, the Mandeliclear solution self-neutralises over the next 12 hours, during which it’s important to keep the treated area dry and follow the aftercare advice provided by your practitioner. We’ll also give you an aftercare pack to help ensure optimal healing and results. After the shedding is complete, you’ll enjoy a clearer, more radiant complexion, as the treatment effectively minimises the appearance of pigmentation and improves overall skin texture.

The Mandeliclear Chemical Peel is a highly effective solution for those looking to achieve clearer, more even-toned skin.

      Double Cleanse: We will perform a double cleanse to effectively remove impurities from your skin, preparing it for the peel.

      Peel Application: Thin layers of Circadia's Mandeliclear peel will be applied, with up to 3 layers being used depending on your skin's reaction and past peel experiences.

      Vitamin A Application: After allowing the peel to settle for a few minutes, we will apply up to 3 layers of Vitamin A to promote increased skin cell turnover, which may leave a glossy yellow tinge on your skin.

      Aftercare: Your practitioner will provide an aftercare pack and will explain the necessary steps to ensure proper healing following your treatment.

    • Do I need a consultation first?

      Yes, since this is a medium-depth peel that necessitates downtime, we recommend booking a consultation with one of our skincare specialists first. This will help ensure that this treatment is appropriate for you and that you fully understand the necessary pre and post-care guidelines you need to follow.

    • How many sessions will I need?

      Results are seen after the first treatment, however for long lasting results or to target specific wants we recommend a course of 3-6 treatments spaced between 4-6 weeks apart.

    • Is the facial painful?

      Circadia's Mandeliclear Peel is generally well-tolerated, though individual experiences may vary. As the peel is applied, you may initially feel a mild tingling or warming sensation on the skin, which is a common reaction to chemical peels. This sensation can intensify for a short period, creating a feeling akin to light sunburn or a prickly warmth. Many clients describe the initial feeling as uncomfortable but not unbearably painful. Some might experience slight redness or irritation post-treatment, which usually subsides within a few hours or days. Overall, while you may feel some discomfort during and immediately after the procedure, it is typically manageable and fleeting, especially considering the benefits of improved skin texture and tone that follow.

    • What should I expect to experience during the downtime?

      The Circadia Mandeliclear chemical peel utilises mandelic acid to provide exfoliation and improve the appearance of the skin. Here’s what you can generally expect following the treatment;

      Immediate Effects (First 24-48 hours):
      Redness: You may experience mild to moderate redness immediately after the procedure, similar to a sunburn.
      Swelling: Some swelling may occur, but it is usually minimal. Sensitivity: The treated area may feel sensitive or tender.

      Days 2-3:
      Peeling: You may begin to notice superficial peeling or flaking of the skin. This typically occurs around the 3rd day post-peel.
      Dryness: The skin may feel tight and dry as it starts to exfoliate.

      Continued Redness: Redness may persist, but it usually starts to diminish.

      Days 4-7:
      Exfoliation: Peeling may continue for several days, with skin shedding being most noticeable. Improved Texture: As the skin heals and new skin emerges, you may start noticing improved texture and tone.
      Avoid Sun Exposure: It’s crucial to protect your skin from the sun during this time, as it will be more sensitive.

      After the First Week:
      Diminished Redness: Redness should subside significantly.
      Hydration: Keeping the skin moisturised is essential to support healing and prevent excessive dryness.
      Assessment of Results: You should begin to see visible improvements in skin tone and texture, with a more radiant appearance.

      Note: Individual experiences may vary based on skin type, sensitivity, and the specific depth of the peel.

    • What acids are in this peel and why are they used?

      The Circadia Mandeliclear Peel is a chemical peel designed to address various skin concerns, such as uneven skin tone, texture issues, and signs of aging. The key ingredients typically found in this peel include:

      Mandelic Acid: This alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) is derived from almonds and is known for its gentle exfoliating properties. It helps in improving skin texture, reducing hyperpigmentation, and enhancing overall skin clarity. Mandelic acid is larger in molecular size compared to other AHAs, which allows for a slower penetration and makes it suitable for sensitive skin.

      Salicylic Acid: A beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that is oil-soluble, making it effective in penetrating and clearing out clogged pores. Salicylic acid has anti-inflammatory properties, making it beneficial for acne-prone skin. It helps exfoliate the skin and reduce inflammation.

      Lactic Acid: Another type of AHA, lactic acid helps to exfoliate the outer layer of the skin and improve moisture content. It's beneficial for enhancing skin texture and hydrates the skin, making it suitable for many skin types.

      Resorcinol: This ingredient is often included for its skin-lightening properties. It can effectively treat hyperpigmentation and is also known for its exfoliating capabilities. Resorcinol is commonly used for addressing conditions like melasma and dark spots.

      Vitamin A (Retinol): Known for its powerful anti-aging properties, Vitamin A helps to promote cell turnover, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and improve skin tone. It's often included to enhance the overall effectiveness of the peel by supporting skin renewal.

      Reasons for Including These Ingredients:
      Exfoliation: All the acids work together to exfoliate the skin, helping to remove dead skin cells

      and promote new cell growth.

      Targeting Hyperpigmentation: Resorcinol and mandelic acid specifically target issues like dark spots and uneven skin tone.

      Acne Treatment: Salicylic acid’s ability to penetrate pores makes it effective for treating and preventing acne.

      Hydration: Lactic acid aids in hydrating the skin, which is essential post-peel to maintain skin health.

      Anti-aging Effects: Vitamin A helps in speeding up the skin's renewal process, combating signs of aging.

      These ingredients work synergistically to enhance the overall results of the peel, making it effective for a variety of skin concerns while being relatively gentle compared to stronger chemical peels.

    • Is there anything which would stop me having the treatment?

      Contraindications for Circadia Mandeliclear Peel:

      Active Skin Conditions: Those with conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea should avoid the peel.

      Pregnancy or Breastfeeding: It is generally advised to steer clear of chemical peels during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

      Recent Dermatological Procedures: Clients who have had recent laser treatments, microdermabrasion, or other resurfacing therapies should wait before undergoing this peel.

      History of Allergies: Individuals with known allergies to any of the ingredients in the peel formulation should refrain from the treatment.

      Accutane Users: Those who have recently taken isotretinoin (Accutane) should wait at least six months after completing the regimen before receiving a chemical peel.

      Skin Sensitivity: Individuals with sensitive skin or those prone to allergic reactions may not be ideal candidates.

      Tanned Skin: Recent tanning (natural or artificial) can be a contraindication, as it increases the risk of adverse reactions.

      Sunburned Skin: Active sunburn should fully heal before undergoing a chemical peel. Immunocompromised Individuals: Those with compromised immune systems may be at an increased risk of complications.

      Certain Medications: Some medications or topical treatments, like retinoids, should be discussed with use before the procedure.
