The Mandelic Peel in Abu Dhabi is a subclass of glycolic acid peels, sometimes known as AHA peels. The German chemist Ferdinand Ludwig Winkler was the one who originally identified it as an aromatic peel. Due to the large molecular structure and modest penetration of the epidermis, the skin peel is often mild. It is a preferred peel for the treatment of rosacea as well as sensitive and damaged skin.

How Does it Work?

By loosening the bonds that bind skin cells together, the treatment approach encourages skin cell shedding. In this procedure, the acid dissolves the outermost layer of skin, revealing the healthier underlying layer beneath. It resurfaces the skin with the turnover of the cells. This enhances the appearance of the skin and reduces faults and problems with it, such as large pores, acne, irritation, pimples, and excessive oil production. The peel possesses antibacterial properties.
