MEDIK8 SKIN PEELS
Medik8 Medical Grade Peel Treatments:
Medik8 offers a selection of advanced medical-grade peel treatments that cater to a variety of skin concerns, including acne, signs of aging, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin texture. These peels are not only effective for the face but can also be applied to other areas of the body, such as the back, underarms, and bikini line, where skin rejuvenation is desired.
What are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels involve the application of a specialized solution to the skin that penetrates down to the deeper layers, including the dermis. This process enables effective exfoliation and stimulates collagen production, leading to healthier, rejuvenated skin.
While some individuals may opt for a single treatment to refresh their skin, a course of peels is generally recommended for specific concerns, such as persistent acne or significant signs of aging.
Consultation Process
Before undergoing a chemical peel, a consultation is essential:
Personal Assessment: During the consultation, you'll meet with a qualified therapist to discuss your individual skin concerns and goals.
Customized Peel Selection: Based on this discussion, the therapist will recommend the peel most suited to your skin type and needs.
Same-Day Treatment: If all parties are in agreement, the treatment can often be performed on the same day as the consultation.
Treatment Procedure
Cleansing: Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed to remove makeup and impurities.
Protective Measures: Vaseline is applied around sensitive areas such as the eyes, nose, and lips to protect them from the peel solution.
Application of Peel: The chosen peel is then applied, allowing it to penetrate into deeper layers to facilitate exfoliation, collagen synthesis, and skin renewal.
Neutralization and Mask: After the recommended exposure time, the peel is neutralized, and a calming facemask is applied to soothe the skin and promote healing.
Nutrient Infusion: Finally, the skin is treated with vitamins to nourish and enhance recovery.
Each session typically lasts around 45 minutes.
Course Recommendations
Recommended Sessions: For optimal results, a course of either 3 or 6 treatments is recommended, depending on the severity of your skin concerns.
Frequency: Peels are typically conducted 2-3 weeks apart, allowing the skin to properly heal and regenerate between sessions.
Visible Results: Improvements are generally noticeable a few days after treatment, as the skin begins to repair and shed dead skin cells.
Expert Care and Aftercare
Regardless of which peel you select, your Medik8 skincare expert will ensure a comfortable experience. Additionally, they will provide invaluable post-treatment advice, including a tailor-made skincare regime to maintain and enhance results. Starter kits can also be purchased for home use.

Laser IPL: Intense Pulsed Light for targeting pigmentation and improving skin texture.
Dermarolling: Enhances absorption and stimulates collagen production.
Microdermabrasion: For further exfoliation and skin resurfacing.
