Medik8 Peels: Everything You Need to Know

Chemical peels are one of the most sought-after professional skin exfoliation treatments worldwide, offering powerful results with minimal downtime. At a fraction of the price of laser treatments, peels offer impressive skin rejuvenation in just 45 minutes.

What is a Medik8 Chemical Peel?

Medik8 chemical peels are expertly designed to resurface and retexturise the skin. Applied to the skin with a small precision brush, each peel delivers targeted actives to reveal a visibly brighter, smoother, and more refined complexion. Our extensive peel range provides bespoke solutions for a variety of skin concerns, from uneven tone and texture to fine lines and blemishes. Featuring Time Release technology, Medik8 peels offer optimal comfort during treatment with minimal downtime.

Can I just have 1 peel to improve my skin?

A single peel can deliver rejuvenating results, but for long-term visible results, we recommend a course of 6 peels. Just like a fitness routine, consistency delivers the best outcome, helping to deliver progressive results that are tailored to your skin needs.

Are peels suitable for everyone?

Medik8 peels are designed for most skin types, with a range of intensities, from our Sensitive PHA Peel (ideal for delicate skin) to our mono peels (for stubborn concerns).

However, there are some key considerations:

What's the downtime?

Everyone’s skin responds differently, but at Medik8, we take steps to minimise downtime and support the skin’s natural renewal process so you can enjoy Results Without Compromise. Immediately after your peel, your Medik8 professional will apply our Professional Ultimate Recovery Mask to help soothe and hydrate the skin.

To further optimise recovery, your Medik8 professional will prescribe a personalised CSA regime - combining vitamin C, sunscreen, and vitamin A - ensuring your skin remains protected, resilient and glowing post-treatment.

What results can I expect?

24 hours post-peel: Skin may feel tight and look slightly flushed.
3 days post-peel: Some mild flaking may begin.
Within 1 week: Skin appears clearer, smoother, and more even-toned.

Over a course of 6 peels, results will become even more visibly profound. We recommend taking progress photos to track your transformation.

Can peels be used alongside other treatments like botox or laser?

Yes, but we strongly recommend consulting your Medik8 Professional for guidance on timing and compatibility with other treatments.
