Frequently Asked Questions About the Medik8 Even Peel
01 How does the Medik8 Even Peel work?
The Even Peel is a professional-grade chemical peel with a pH of 2.2, formulated with a time-release acid blend to brighten the complexion and target pigmentation while keeping irritation to a minimum.
- 40% Lactic Acid:
A larger AHA that gently exfoliates the surface while helping to minimise the production of melanin for a more even tone. - 10% Glycolic Acid:
A smaller AHA that provides deeper exfoliation for a fresh, smooth finish, while helping to boost collagen production.
02 What does the treatment involve and how long does it take?
The full appointment takes approximately 45-60 minutes. It includes:
- A thorough consultation to assess your skin.
- A double cleanse with Eyes & Lips Micellar Cleanse and Surface Radiance Cleanse.
- Pre-peel preparation, including a protective barrier around delicate areas.
- The peel application itself (up to 10 minutes contact time).
- A calming neutralising step using Neutralising Spray and Calmwise Cleanser.
- A 15-minute Calmwise serum and Ultimate Recovery Bio-Cellulose mask.
- Finished with C-Tetra Eye, C-Tetra Intense, Ultimate Recovery Intense, and a physical SPF (available in original or tinted).
03 Does the peel hurt or feel uncomfortable during application?
Most clients describe the sensation as a gentle warmth or a light tingling, rather than pain. Here’s why – Medik8’s Time Release technology slows the absorption of the acids, keeping the experience considerably more comfortable than a traditional brightening peel.
- A mild warmth or fine prickling is normal during the up to 10-minute contact time.
- Your therapist monitors your skin and comfort throughout, ready to neutralise the peel the moment any sensation exceeds your tolerance.
- A cooling Bio-Cellulose recovery mask follows immediately afterwards to soothe, calm, and rebalance the skin.
04 Are there any pre-peel requirements?
Yes, for the safest and most effective results, we ask that:
- A patch test is completed at least 24 hours before your first appointment.
- Clients prepare their skin with a Medik8 CSA (Vitamin C, Sunscreen, Vitamin A) homecare routine for a minimum of two weeks prior to the peel.
- Clients with deeper skin tones (Fitzpatrick 4, 5, and 6) prep their skin for a minimum of four weeks and add a pigment suppressant such as White Balance Brightening Serum.
05 Is the Even Peel suitable for all skin types and tones?
Yes, the Even Peel can be tailored for a wide range of clients, although the protocol is carefully adjusted based on your Fitzpatrick skin type, particularly important for a peel that targets pigmentation.
- Fitzpatrick skin types 1-4:
May start directly on any Medik8 peel, with contact time tailored from 1-10 minutes based on comfort. - Fitzpatrick skin types 5-6:
Must begin on the gentler Universal AHA peel, with concentration progressed gradually over the course based on skin response.
Deeper skin tones also follow an extended four-week prep with a pigment suppressant such as White Balance Brightening Serum to minimise the risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation.
06 Can the Even Peel be customised or made more advanced?
07 How many treatments are recommended and what is the frequency?
A course of 6 treatments is recommended for best results:
- Fitzpatrick skin types 1-4:
Every 7-10 days. - Fitzpatrick skin types 5-6:
Every 3-4 weeks, often beginning on a gentler Universal AHA peel before progressing.
08 When will I start seeing results from the Even Peel?
Pigmentation responds gradually, so a brighter, more even tone tends to build progressively across your course rather than appearing overnight.
- After session 1:
Skin typically looks fresher and feels smoother, with a softer, more luminous finish. - Mid-course (around treatment 3):
Surface pigmentation, dark marks, and dull patches often begin to look visibly softer and more even. - Post-course of 6:
A more balanced, brighter complexion with refined tone and clarity.
Outcomes vary based on the depth of pigmentation, individual skin type, sun exposure, and how consistently you stick to your CSA homecare routine and daily SPF.
09 What is the recommended aftercare and homecare routine?
Aftercare plays a major role in supporting your results and recovery:
- A Medik8 post-peel kit is essential for at least 3 days after each peel.
- Continue with your Medik8 CSA homecare routine, suited to your skin type.
- For your take-home Vitamin A, we recommend Crystal Retinal 3 or Bakuchiol Peptides.
- Daily SPF is non-negotiable, especially under the strength of the WA sun.
10 Are there any contraindications for this peel?
Yes, the Medik8 Even Peel is not suitable if any of the following apply:
- Sunburn
- Warts in the treatment area
- Inflamed acne
- Active infections
- Pregnancy
- Immunosuppression
- Collagen vascular disease
- Aspirin allergy
