About Acnelan Peel

Acnelan is an intensive treatment for acne-prone skin types. This professional treatment clears blocked pores, removes impurities & improves the skin texture. It can be safely used to the whole face excluding sensitive areas such as eyes and lips. It will reduce & remove bacteria from the deeper layers of the skin. There is a significant process of shedding during this treatment, which may last up to 1-2 weeks post-treatment.

How does Acnelan Peel work?

Acnelan is an innovative, multifocal approach to attack severe acne problems. The secret to the Acnelan formula is m. acne complexTM, a unique combination of active ingredients known to treat acne-prone and seborrhoeic (red, greasy, scaly, itchy & inflamed) skin.

The Acnelan treatment plan contains three treatment sessions at 15-21 day intervals to ensure all bacteria beneath the surface is cleared. This treatment can be done between 2-4 times yearly depending on individual patients.

The package also includes 5 homecare products that must be used in conjunction with the professional treatments. This will ensure the maximum result is achieved.

Benefits 

– Decrease in sebum production: this slows down the secretory activity of sebaceous glands.
– Control of bacterial proliferation: this inhibits the growth and reproduction of the strains making up the skin flora, which may infect blocked pilosebaceous canals.
– Less redness and epidermal swelling: this reduces and soothes the intensity of the inflammatory process of acne outbreaks.
– Lightening of post-acne hyperpigmentation: this improves the appearance of hyperpigmented areas of skin after an acne outbreak.
