EnerPeel® Mandelic Acid

Following your EnerPeel® Mandelic Acid Peel treatment, it is important to care for your skin correctly to support healing, maximise your results and minimise the risk of irritation or pigmentation changes. It is normal to experience some temporary side effects following treatment, including: * Mild redness. * Tightness or sensitivity. * Dryness. * Light flaking or peeling over the following 2–5 days. * A feeling similar to mild sunburn. * A brighter, smoother complexion as your skin naturally renews itself. These reactions are expected and form part of the skin's natural renewal process. To protect your skin and support healing: * Use a gentle cleanser and moisturiser recommended by your practitioner. * Keep your skin well hydrated by drinking plenty of water. * Avoid touching, rubbing or scratching the treated area. * Allow any peeling or flaking skin to shed naturally. For the first 24–48 hours: * Avoid direct sun exposure. * Avoid hot baths, hot showers, saunas, steam rooms and hot tubs. * Avoid vigorous exercise or activities that cause excessive sweating. * Avoid swimming pools and chlorinated water. * Avoid applying makeup for 24 hours, or until any redness has settled. For the first 5–7 days: * Do not pick or peel any flaking skin, as this may increase the risk of scarring or pigmentation changes. * Avoid retinol, retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, vitamin C serums, exfoliating acids and facial scrubs. * Continue using a gentle cleanser and moisturiser only. * Avoid waxing, threading, dermaplaning or depilatory creams on the treated area. * Avoid chemical peels, microneedling, laser treatments or IPL until advised by your practitioner. Protecting your skin from UV exposure is essential following an EnerPeel® Mandelic Acid Peel. * Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30–50 every day, even on cloudy days. * Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours when outdoors. * Avoid direct sun exposure and sunbeds for at least 2 weeks following treatment. * Wear a wide-brimmed hat or other physical sun protection whenever possible. Failure to protect your skin from UV exposure can increase the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Maintaining your results: EnerPeel® Mandelic Acid Peel helps to improve acne, oily and congested skin, pigmentation, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone and the early signs of ageing. Results continue to improve as your skin naturally renews itself. To maximise your results: * Attend your recommended course of treatments, usually 3–6 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart, depending on your skin concerns. * Apply SPF 30–50 every day. * Follow a personalised homecare routine recommended by your practitioner. * Keep your skin well hydrated and maintain a healthy skincare routine. Please contact Body Perfection Clinic if you have any concerns about your healing or experience: * Severe or worsening redness lasting longer than 72 hours. * Excessive swelling or increasing pain. * Blistering. * Delayed healing. * Any unexpected or concerning reaction following your treatment. If you think you have developed an infection (such as increasing redness, excessive heat, pus, discharge or fever), or you feel generally unwell, please seek immediate medical advice from your GP, NHS 111 or your nearest emergency department if your symptoms are severe. Your practitioner will be happy to advise you and arrange a review appointment if required.

To ensure your EnerPeel® Mandelic Acid Peel treatment is as safe and effective as possible, please follow the advice below before your appointment. * Avoid direct sun exposure, sunbeds and self-tanning products for at least 2 weeks before your treatment. Recently tanned skin is more susceptible to irritation and pigmentation changes. * Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30–50 every day before your treatment and continue to protect your skin from UV exposure. * Discontinue the use of retinol, retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, vitamin C serums, benzoyl peroxide and exfoliating products for 5–7 days before treatment, unless advised otherwise by your practitioner. * Avoid chemical peels, microneedling, dermaplaning, laser treatments or IPL treatments on the treatment area for at least 2 weeks before your appointment. * Do not wax, thread, use depilatory creams or bleach facial hair on the treatment area for 5–7 days before treatment. * Avoid facial scrubs and mechanical exfoliation for 5 days before your appointment. * Arrive with clean skin, free from makeup, moisturisers, sunscreen, oils and perfume on the treatment area. * Stay well hydrated before your appointment to support healthy skin function and optimise your treatment results. * Inform your practitioner if you are taking or have recently taken Roaccutane (Isotretinoin), antibiotics, steroids, photosensitising medications or topical prescription skincare, as these may affect your suitability for treatment. * Please inform your practitioner of any changes to your medical history, allergies, pregnancy status, skin conditions or recent aesthetic treatments before your appointment. * If you have an active cold sore, skin infection, eczema flare-up, dermatitis, sunburn, open wound or irritated skin within the treatment area, please contact the clinic as your treatment may need to be postponed. During your consultation, your practitioner will assess your skin, discuss your concerns and treatment goals, and confirm your suitability for an EnerPeel® Mandelic Acid Peel. A personalised treatment plan will then be created to help improve acne, oily or congested skin, pigmentation, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone and the early signs of ageing safely and effectively.

We offer two consultation options: £25 Face-to-Face Consultation – Includes a full skin assessment and a personalised EnerPeel® Mandelic Acid Peel treatment plan tailored to your skin type, concerns and treatment goals.

If you decide to proceed with treatment, we'll recommend the most suitable consultation option based on your individual skin needs and treatment goals.

A consultation is an essential part of your EnerPeel® Mandelic Acid Peel treatment and is required before your first appointment. During your consultation, your practitioner will assess your skin, discuss your concerns and determine whether an EnerPeel® Mandelic Acid Peel is the most suitable treatment for your skin. We will review your: Skin type and current skin condition. Medical history and current medications. Previous skin and aesthetic treatments. Current skincare routine and products. Treatment goals and expectations. Your practitioner will explain how an EnerPeel® Mandelic Acid Peel works, discuss the expected results, outline any potential risks and answer any questions you may have. This ensures your treatment is tailored to your individual skin needs and carried out safely to achieve the best possible results. For your appointment, we recommend wearing comfortable clothing and arriving with clean skin, free from makeup where possible. This allows your practitioner to carry out a thorough skin assessment and, where appropriate, proceed with treatment on the same day. Every person's skin is unique, which is why we create a personalised treatment plan based on your individual skin concerns. Whether you're looking to improve acne, oily skin, pigmentation, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone or the early signs of ageing, your EnerPeel® Mandelic Acid Peel treatment will be tailored to help you achieve a clearer, smoother and healthier-looking complexion.

For your Mandelic Acid Peel appointment, we recommend wearing comfortable clothing and arriving with clean skin free from makeup where possible. A loose-fitting top with a wide neckline or buttons is ideal to allow easy access to the face, neck and décolletage while ensuring maximum comfort during your treatment. Soft, breathable fabrics are recommended, as the skin may feel slightly warm or sensitive following treatment. Avoid high collars, scarves or rough fabrics that may cause friction or irritation during the healing process. Please avoid applying heavy creams, fake tan, perfumes or active skincare products to the treatment area before your appointment unless otherwise advised. Mild dryness or light peeling may occur as the skin renews itself, so loose clothing is particularly important if the neck or chest is being treated. Your comfort and privacy are always our priority, and disposable headbands, towels and gowns are provided when required to help you relax and enjoy your treatment. Protecting the skin from excessive heat, friction and sun exposure following your peel is essential to support optimal healing and results.

No. Visible peeling is not a sign of whether the peel has worked. Many of the benefits occur beneath the skin's surface.

Mandelic Acid is often chosen for sensitive skin types because of its larger molecular structure, which penetrates the skin more gradually than some other acids.

The treatment can improve post-inflammatory pigmentation and mild acne scarring, but deeper scars often require additional treatments for optimal results.

Not necessarily. Some clients experience light flaking, while others have little to no visible peeling. The treatment can still be highly effective even without obvious peeling.

Not at all. Mandelic Acid is known for being effective while being gentler on the skin than some other acids, making it suitable for many skin types, including sensitive and darker skin tones.

A Mandelic Acid Peel can help improve acne, congestion and post-acne marks, but most clients achieve the best results through a course of treatments and appropriate skincare.

Downtime is usually minimal. Some clients may experience slight redness or mild dryness following treatment, but most people can return to normal activities immediately.

Treatments are usually performed every few weeks depending on your skin condition and treatment goals. Your practitioner will recommend the most suitable treatment plan for you.

Some clients notice visible improvement after one treatment, while others may benefit from a course of peels depending on their skin concerns and desired results.

Clients often notice brighter, smoother and more radiant skin after treatment. The peel can also help reduce redness, improve skin clarity and create a more even complexion.

Most clients experience only a mild tingling or warming sensation during treatment. The procedure is generally very comfortable and well tolerated.

Yes. Enerpeel® Mandelic Acid Peel is often recommended for sensitive, reactive or rosacea-prone skin because it is gentler than many traditional chemical peels.

The treatment is most commonly performed on the face but can also be used on areas such as the neck and chest depending on the skin concern being treated.

Mandelic acid helps brighten the skin, improve uneven tone, reduce mild congestion and support smoother skin texture. It is also known for being suitable for sensitive and rosacea-prone skin due to its gentle penetration.

The peel uses mandelic acid, a gentle alpha hydroxy acid that works within the skin to exfoliate dead skin cells, improve cell turnover and support healthier skin function with minimal irritation.

Enerpeel® Mandelic Acid Peel is a gentle chemical peel designed to improve skin tone, brightness and texture while calming redness and sensitive skin. The treatment exfoliates the skin and encourages healthy skin renewal for a fresher, more radiant complexion.
