Description
This peel contains Pumpkin & Papaya Enzymes that dissolve the protein bonds between skin cells helping to gently remove the top layer of dead cells, stimulating new skin cell production. Our Enzyme Peel is suitable for all skin concerns including dry, textured, acne, dark spots, sun damage & dull looking skin.
Because of its gentle enzymatic exfoliating action, it is the perfect entry level peel treatment to start your ultimate skin journey & is especially safe for pregnant & breastfeeding clients.
FAQ
What is a Medi Aesthetic Peel Treatment?
Professional Medi Aesthetic Peel treatments involve the use of chemical peel solutions that are applied to the face and/or neck, decolletage and hands to improve the appearance of the skin. Our peels use acids to break down & exfoliate the top layer of skin tissue. This causes a response that signals the healing cascade, leading to the production of new collagen, elastin & skin cells, resulting in brighter, less pigmented, more even toned skin whilst also giving you a smoother, firmer, more youthful appearance.
What skin concerns can be treated with Medi Aesthetic Peel Treatments?
Our Medi Aesthetic Peels can be used to treat multiple skin concerns & conditions including skin ageing, dark spots, uneven skin tone, acne & acne scarring, sun damage & rough, uneven texture. Book yourself a complimentary consultation with one of our qualified skin therapists to find out which peel is best suited for your individual skin needs.
Are Medi Aesthetic Peels painful?
No – none of our peels are supposed to be painful. They may cause different levels of tingling, redness and a little discomfort but not pain.
Are there any side effects after I have a Medi Aesthetic Peel treatment?
After a peel treatment your skin may feel a little warm, tight & it may look a little red. These are completely normal reactions & will continue to calm down over the next 3 – 5 days following a peel treatment. Your therapist will advise you of the aftercare that you will need to follow post treatment to ensure your skin heals effectively.
