Depending on the peel, improvement can be seen within days. 24 hours post-peel your skin will likely feel a little tight and appear slightly flushed. Within 3 days your skin will start to flake but within the week you will start to see clearer, more uniform skin tone. Over a course of 6 peels, results will be even more visibly profound. We will take pictures of your progress and will track the progress with showing you before & after photos throughout your course.

Chemical peels are fast-becoming the number one clinical skin treatment worldwide. At a fraction of the price of laser, they can significantly reduce the appearance of wrinkles, pigmentation and blemishes with less discomfort and downtime. Just 50 minutes per visit in the heated bed you can visibly rejuvenate skin to provide a softer, smoother, more youthful-looking complexion. At Medik8, we recommend a course of peels to really see and feel the difference for the long haul, but sometimes it can be difficult to know where to start. That’s why we invented our 12 Weeks to WOW programme and offer Free Skin consultations.

Chemical peels are suitable for almost everyone and at Medik8 we have a varied range from our Sensitive PHA Peel which is suitable for very sensitive skins right through to our mono peels which use high-strength single acids which can even be layered to target stubborn concerns like pigmentation. Certain skin conditions / clients may need more support to ensure skin is normalised before a course of peels eg those with an impaired skin barrier. Unfortunately, we also do not recommend peels for pregnant or nursing Mums. Read about all our incredible professional treatments here.

At SKIN44 we make it our priority that you achieve amazing results and to allow us to do this we personalise, and tailor make your very own programme that is designed for your skin only. After a full skin analysis, we will not only educate you on your skin and what is happening underneath, we will talk through step by step your homework and focus to achieve your skin goals. This will likely involve 6 Medik8 professional peels (spaced 10-14 days apart) and CSA homecare to use twice daily. We will also take several photos to ensure we can compare the incredible changes over the course of the programme along with giving you your 12 weeks to WOW passport which is a printed booklet you should bring to each appointment which you and your therapist fill in together to track your progress and the treatments and peel strengths you’ve experienced.

At every treatment we ask that you bring your 12 weeks to WOW passport, we will discuss your progress, assess your homecare routine, analyse your skin and take new photos. This is a vital part to ensure you are achieving your homework and most importantly sticking to your regular goals.

All Medik8 peels have Time-Release technology which means minor discomfort is minimised. During the peel you will expect to feel a tingling/itchy sensation with a slight heat, we will ask you on a scale of 1 – 10 to assess your tolerance level of the peel, with the aim of working up to 10 minutes. You can ask the therapist to remove the peel at any point in the treatment,

Then the best part… relaxation… Yep that’s right, once the peel has been neutralised you will then be pampered with the Ultimate Recovery Bio-Cellulose Mask whilst enjoying a Neck, Shoulder, Hand & Arm massage, followed with soothing serums and creams tailored to your skin type.
