This chemical face peel is suitable for application immediately after a microneedling procedure, theMandelic Acid Peel contains mandelic, lactic, pyruvic, ferulic and kojic acids, the peel is fortified with potent retinaldehyde, copper peptides, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid.

Dermapen microneedling uses tiny needles attached to a pen device to gently puncture the skin, causing a series of traumatic punctures.

The combined effect of microneedling which products collagen and elastin plus the deep penetration of ingredients from the Mandelic Acid Peel, give an impressive skin result.

Mandelic Acid Peel with Dermapen Microneedling is an effective treatment for the following concerns on the face:

  • Dull skin
  • Signs of ageing
  • Sun damage
  • Enlarged pores
  • Milia
  • Marks and blemishes
  • Mild Acne scarring

You will book for dermapen treatment and on the day of your treatment, your aesthetic skin therapist will assess your skin and advise if you are also suitable for the uber peel, your advantaged skin therapist will also be able to advise how many sessions will be necessary to achieve your skin goals (either 3 or 6 sessions).

To ensure the best results and avoid irritation, please refrain from using any active ingredients for 5 days before and after your treatments. Active ingredients include benzoyl peroxide, retinol, salicylic acid, glycolic acid and vitamin C serum. We recommend using only a gentle cleanser and a gentle moisturiser during this period. We highly recommend using a medical grade SPF 50 following your treatment.

Treatment Process

  • Your treatment journey will begin by booking your Dermapen microneedling plus Mandelic Acid Peel at your nearest Dr Leah clinic
  • On the day of your appointment if you are a new client you should arrive 10 minutes prior to your appointment time to complete a medical questionnaire and if you would like to have anaesthetic applied please request this on arrival.
  • Your Dr Leah practitioner will then take you into the treatment room and perform a cleanse of your face, they will be able to assess your skin type and treatment goals and determine which depth of Dermapen microneedling you need on each area of your face. The depth of the needle punctures can be manually changed by the practitioner so different depth of treatment can be applied to different areas of the face and depending on your concern. For example if you have acne scarring on your cheeks your practitioner will suggest doing a deeper treatment over that area of your face. Your practitioner will also be able to tell you how many Mandelic Acid Peel with Dermapen microneedling sessions you are going to require to achieve your goals (3,6,9 treatments)
  • If you are happy to go ahead with treatment, consent and photography will be taken (This photography is confidential and is for our records and medico-legal requirements only).
  • First the Dermapen will be applied over your skin, puncturing it with 1300 channels into the skin every second. It will feel uncomfortable (like a scratching feeling) but not painful – if you are concerned about pain then please take simple painkillers 30 minutes before your appointment. The actual needling itself takes between 10-15 minutes.
  • Mandelic Acid Peel solution will then be applied to your skin immediately after Dermapen microneedling, when your skin channels are open, to give an enhanced skin result.
  • SPF will then be applied to protect your skin and aftercare advice will be discussed. Your aesthetic therapist will advise you how soon you should have your next Mandelic Acid Peel with dermapen microneedling treatment (between 4-6 weeks) and will schedule this for you.


Mandelic Acid Peel with Dermapen Microneedling Reviews

Here’s what our clients have to say…
The best peel ever! I have had other peels in the past but never felt they got deep enough into my skin, the microneedling that they do with this peel means it can get deep into the skin and give better results! I love it! Would never go back to having regular peels after trying this!

Rachel, 48
This is the best microneedling treatment in London. I have Dermapen microneedling with the ÜBER Pro peel put on my skin immediately after and the results have been simply amazing. It is a great acne scarring treatment; I feel confident now!

Yvonne , 36
