Medik8 Peels are formulated to work alongside the core CSA routine (Vitmain C, Sunscreen and Vitmain A). It also ensures the skin is in good health and well prepared, meaning better results and faster healing. The products will also enhance the results. It has been proven that vitamin C and vitamin A can increase skin cell renewal, which reduces the healing time involved in peels.

Peels can cause some mild discomfort and temporary redness; dependent on the strength of the peel you have chosen. Above all else – relax. Enjoy some you time, as soon as the peel has been removed we apply cooling products, which work to rapidly cool and soothe the skin.

It is possible to just have a single peel, but we recommend a course of 6 to really see the long-term skin benefits. It's a little like going to the gym; you can go occasionally but the real results will come when you commit to an ongoing programme.

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. Post peel skin will vary person to person.

By definition, the application of acids to the skin may cause redness, skin flaking and mild peeling; but every skin is different. We recommend not to wear makeup for the first 12 hours post-peel to ensure the skin remains bacteria-free. You will be recommended a comprehensive aftercare routine to continue with at home to ensure your skin recovers and rejuvenates correctly. As a general rule, expect flaking from around the 3rd day post-peel for a maximum of 5 further days. You should avoid direct sun exposure during these recovery days and always wear a broad spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30.
