The Azelan peel is a quick, superficial peel, with minimal downtime, combining salicylic acid and Azelaic acid. It renews the skin by lifting dead cells off the surface of your skin and stimulating metabolism of the cells underneath. With a series of Azelan Peels you can quickly achieve substantial improvement in the appearance of acne and epidermal hyper-pigmentation, while making your skin look and feel softer, smoother, and more radiant. Acne scars and enlarged pores may become less noticeable, and acne breakouts may be reduced.

Can all skin types be safely treated with an Azelan Peel?
Read MoreThe Azelan peel is excellent for all skin types. We do however take extra precautions when treating skin types 5 and 6 due to the sensitive nature of these skin types. This peels smoothes and rejuvenates skin, producing beautiful results in treating mild to severe acne, and epidermal hyperpigmentation. (Peeling the face, neck, back and upper chest is also quite effective). Acne 2 in 1 from Mannalabs is recommended for Acne prone patients to assist in treating acne from the inside.
