Most clients experience a mild tingling or warming sensation during the peel. The strength of the sensation varies depending on the peel depth, but it's generally well-tolerated. You can request the peel to be removed at any time if discomfort arises.

Initial improvements can be seen within a few days, with skin becoming clearer and more uniform within a week. For more profound results, a course of 6 peels is recommended.

Post-treatment, it's advised to avoid makeup for the first 12 hours, strenuous exercise for 24 hours, and direct sun exposure. Always apply SPF 30 or higher during recovery. Additionally, refrain from using exfoliating acids for 5-7 days post-peel.

While a single peel can offer benefits, a series of 6 treatments spaced 10-14 days apart is recommended for optimal, long-lasting results. Medik8's '12 Weeks to WOW!' program is designed to guide you through this process.

Chemical peels are generally suitable for most skin types. However, they are not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals.
A thorough skin assessment is conducted to ensure suitability before treatment.

After 24 hours, your skin may feel tight and appear slightly flushed. Within 3 days, flaking may begin, leading to clearer and more even skin tone within a week. A full course of 6 peels can yield more significant improvements.

Knowing how to prepare for a chemical peel the right way ensures there is no delay in starting your Medik8 skin journey, normally with all the Medik8 peels, the pre-treatment advice involves using less concentrated forms of active ingredients found in the skin peels, preparing your skin in this way is essential to the final outcome of the treatment and ensures your skin is in its best condition possible.

Your practitioner will outline which medik8 products you’ll be required to use before and after your skin peel. These products will be products like SPF, serums with vitamin c and retinoids that assimilate Medik8,s philosophy. ​

The philosophy Medik8 has invented is called the CSA philosophy – which is as simple as using vitamin C + sunscreen during the day and then vitamin A at night. Vitamin C and SPF during the day provide antioxidant protection against free radical damage and environmental aggressors such as pollution and UV rays which are the main contributors that accelerate skin damage. The 2 products combined stimulate collage production and prevents the development of pigmentation for smoother brighter skin.

Vitamin A at night is so important for an anti-ageing routine and does many things for the skin such as speeding up cellular renewal and controlling sebum production. ​

After your face peel, the aftercare advice will usually be to continue using the same products you were using before the treatment as this will enhance the results for longer. ​

After every peel, your expert clinician will apply a complimentary Medik8 Ultimate recovery BIO Cellulare mask which is worth £30 This is a hydrating mineral sheet mask that contains zinc, hyaluronic acid and rockweed algae extract which helps soothe the skin and harnesses the power of detoxifying natural minerals. This leaves your skin completely nourished, soothed and refreshed.
