What does the treatment involve?

Azelaic acid therapy is a mild chemical peel that helps treat various skin concerns, such as acne, rosacea, and hyperpigmentation. Azelaic acid has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and exfoliating effects. It deeply cleanses the skin, unclogs pores, reduces acne lesions, redness, and pigmentation. It’s an ideal solution for sensitive skin and conditions such as rosacea.

What does the treatment include?

The treatment uses azelaic acid, which is derived from grains like barley, wheat, and rye. It helps reduce inflammation, inhibits the growth of acne-causing bacteria (especially P. acnes), and lightens discolorations by reducing melanin production. Additionally, it improves skin texture and overall clarity.

Who is it for?

• Individuals with acne and blackheads
• Skin with pigmentation and uneven tone
• Sensitive, irritation-prone skin

Results after the treatment:

• Smoother skin texture
• Reduction of fine lines, pigmentation, and unevenness
• Cleansed skin, reduced blackheads
• Improved elasticity, hydration, and brightness
• Reduced inflammation and post-acne scarring

Contraindications:

• Allergy to azelaic acid
• Active cold sores or other skin infections
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding (caution recommended)
• Broken skin or open wounds
• Recent sun exposure/tanning
• Use of retinoids (during or within 6 months after treatment)

Important before the treatment:

• Do not use retinoids or strong chemical peels for 5 days prior
• Avoid tanning and solariums for at least 7 days prior
• Do not perform any exfoliating treatments at home
• Arrive with clean, dry skin without makeup

Recommended course:
A series of 3–6 treatments is recommended, spaced 2–3 weeks apart, depending on skin type and concerns. Acid therapies can also be used as maintenance treatments to preserve a healthy and youthful appearance.
