Unlike many other peels and resurfacers (exfoliators) used for Acne, the Azelaic peel formulation is designed in such a way to minimise the typical uncomfortable sensation caused by chemical peels, and the anti-inflammatory effects of the arnica and salicylic acid cause the skin to recover very quickly. Because of the peel’s design, there is minimal visible peeling during the recovery period, making it much easier to “hide” the common post-peeling signs.

frequently asked
questions

Is the Azelaic Peel available at all Skin Renewal branches?
Who would benefit from having the Azelaic peel?

The following conditions are indicated for this peel:

  • Individuals who have acne and epidermal hyperpigmentation
  • Oily skin with enlarged pores and
  • Patient who are prone to congestion and breakouts
  • Patients with superficial (epidermal) pigmentation or PIH
  • Patients with Rosacea
  • Patients with sensitive skins who are in need of exfoliation but cannot handle the more aggressive peels
How many treatments are needed?

Depending on the condition being treated and the severity thereof, a patient may require anything from 6 to 8 treatments to start off with.

Thereafter, the skin needs to be re-assessed and if needed, a second course of treatments is prescribed. Once the condition is under control and initial results achieved, it is necessary to be on a maintenance plan to maintain the results and to ensure that the condition does not return.

What can I expect after having the Azelaic Peel?

Immediately after the peel, the skin may appear quite pink (in most cases this calms down very quickly) and in some cases, the skin may feel “itchy”.

Within about 3 days, you may start to flake for about 2-4 days (in most cases there is almost no visible flaking or peeling with the Azelaic Peel). This peel may be repeated every two weeks over a twelve week period for optimum results.

Is the Azelaic Peel safe for all skin types?

The Azelaic peel is excellent for all skin types.

This peel rejuvenates skin, producing beautiful results in treating mild to severe acne, and epidermal hyper-pigmentation.

Peeling the face, neck, back and upper chest is also quite effective with the Azelaic Acid Peel.
