MEDIDERMA® AZELAC® RU

AZELAC RU is a professional-grade depigmenting treatment designed to reduce hyperpigmentation and photoaging. This product is formulated with high-potency active ingredients encapsulated in liposomes for deep skin penetration and enhanced efficacy. It targets melasma, lentigo, freckles, and uneven skin tone, providing a more radiant and uniform complexion. The formula is especially suitable for sensitive skin and is often used in protocols to treat moderate to severe pigmentation. Its effectiveness stems from a synergistic blend of azelaic acid, mandelic acid, and other brightening agents that regulate melanin production and protect against oxidative stress.

AZELAC RU is applied by professionals in a multi-step protocol that includes pre-treatment cleansing, degreasing, protective barrier application, and sequential coat layering. Each session is tailored based on skin sensitivity and pigmentation severity.

• Apply 2 coats of AZELAC RU after prepping the skin.
  
• For intense pigmentation, apply 2–3 additional coats focally.
  
• Seal with a retinal-based gel and leave for 8–10 hours.
  
• Sessions are repeated every 4 weeks, typically 4–6 treatments total.
  
• Maintenance is every 2 months​.
  

AZELAC RU is indicated for patients with hyperpigmentation, including melasma, lentigo, and freckles, especially on sensitive skin. It also helps improve skin luminosity and texture.
