Medik8 Professional Peels

Medik8 chemical peeling is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure based on the application of a chemical exfoliant to the skin resulting in the removal of skin lesions and imperfections, overall improved skin texture, rejuvenation, radiance and luminous skin glow. We carefully choose the most suitable peel treatment for each individual client as no two skins are the same. We aim to achieve the best results for you to ensure Beautiful Skin for Life. Clients can choose between the 12 Weeks to WOW course for the skin or a One-off peel to see why we love peels so much. To achieve the best possible results from a Medik8 Facial Peel, clients are required to prime skin using the CSA philosophy, Vitamin C, Sunscreen and Vitamin A for a minimum of two weeks prior to the first peel. Supplying the skin with both Vitamin C and Vitamin A prior to a peel treatment will enhance the healing process and ensure optimum results are achieved.

12 weeks of personalised, intensive training for your skin.

Whether you are a beginner to skin care or have experienced peels in the past, we will guide you to use the best home care products and the most suited peels for your unique skincare concerns.
