Medik8 takes the mystery out of anti-ageing with a simple 3 step rule;
How peels work?
Our skin is made up of protein, water and other minor structural chemicals. Proteins are complex chains of amino acids which are very sensitive to the level of PH surrounding them. When the skins proteins react with an acid in a low pH, coagulation occurs. The lower the pH, the stronger the acid and therefore more coagulation occurs. The lower the pH, the more acidic the solution and therefore it will penetrate the skin deeper.
What acids are used within Medik8 peels?
Who will benefit from a peel?
Anyone looking for significant results with moderate downtime and peeling or anyone who wants to prepare their skin for a deeper peel. Medik8 peels can help with Pigmentation, Blemishes, General Scarring, Dull complexions and Fine lines and wrinkles.
Pre- peel skin preparation
Prior to all peel treatments we advise clients to come for a skin Health assessment in which we can discuss your needs and expectations to ensure you receive the best treatment for your concerns. All peel clients will be given complimentary Vitamin C and Retinol to use 2 weeks prior to their peel to prepare their skin. Medik8 believe that this step enhances the results from our superficial peels and all clients must complete this prior to treatment commencement.
