How it works
Skin Regeneration
MediPeels are a powerful and effective treatment designed to rejuvenate and revitalise your skin. It works by harnessing the skin’s natural healing and regeneration processes, stimulating the production of new skin cells by clearing away the buildup of dead cells on the surface. This deep exfoliation process results in healthier and brighter skin.
The MediPeel blend
MediPeels by Aesthetics Rx are a 2-step treatment using powerful blends of enzymes, AHAs, BHAs, and acids like glycolic, lactic, and salicylic to remove damaged skin layers and improve texture. These ingredients break down proteins on the skin’s surface, preparing it for deep exfoliation and triggering an inflammatory response.
9 MediPeels
SILK offers nine types of MediPeels, each targeting specific skin concerns. With gentle options like Balancing Peels through to targeted treatments for acne, pigmentation, and ageing, there’s a MediPeel for every need. Each is formulated for effective results, tailored to address your unique skin concerns. Learn more about the MediPeel Collection.
Skin Preparation
Skin preparation is crucial for the Acne, Pigment, Renewal, Rejuvenate and Pro Resurfacing Peels, ensuring effectiveness and safety. It primes the skin to better absorb ingredients, leading to clearer, brighter, and rejuvenated skin while minimising adverse reactions. We recommend a skin consultation before your first treatment.

Chemical peels use acidic solutions, but the acids in skin treatments differ from those used in industrial applications. The acids used in skincare are alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs). AHAs, which are water-soluble, come from sugary fruits, while BHAs, which are oil-soluble, are derived from willow bark and sweet birch trees.
The type of formulation used in your chemical peel depends on the skin issue being treated. While both AHAs and BHAs exfoliate, each is more effective for different skin concerns.
The effectiveness of a peel is not determined by how much peeling occurs but by the results. Peeling can vary based on your skin’s condition and the peel’s depth. Even with varying degrees of peeling, the skin is exfoliating faster, leading to improved tone, texture, and reduced fine lines and uneven pigmentation.
