What are chemical peels?
Chemical peels, also commonly referred to as medi-peels, penetrate various layers of the skin based on their strength. This makes them ideal for addressing a range of concerns both on the surface and in deeper layers.
How do chemical and medi peels work?
By exfoliating the upper skin layers, chemical peels promote skin cell turnover, leading to the regeneration of fresh, new skin. This process also boosts the production of collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans, resulting in healthier, more youthful-looking skin.
Our skin peels have been specifically formulated to ensure their safety and effectiveness. They can effectively address hyperpigmentation, signs of aging at every stage, as well as aesthetic conditions such as acne, couperosis, rosacea and other blemishes.
At Lúum Aesthetics, your safety and results are always our priority. medi-peels are highly versatile treatments, and with the right formulation they can benefit a wide variety of skin types and concerns. During your personalised 1:1 consultation, our clinicians will carefully assess your skin and lifestyle to ensure the peel selected is the most suitable and effective option for you.

FAQs
-
Medi-peels are tailored medical-grade chemical peels, and we typically use SkinCeuticals or Rationale formulations, designed to gently exfoliate the upper layers of skin via a controlled, customised approach. They rejuvenate complexions by encouraging skin cell turnover and stimulating collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycan production.
-
These peels can effectively target a variety of concerns, including:
Hyperpigmentation and sun damage
Fine lines and early signs of ageing
Acne, acne scarring, and blemishes
Redness, couperosis, rosacea, and other uneven skin tone issues
-
Your skin may look visibly brighter and more radiant immediately post treatment; however, best results will be seen approximately 5-7 days post treatment
-
As our peels are customised to your specific skin health needs, some peels may have no downtime at all, whilst others up to a week of peeling. This depends on the active ingredients and strengths used in your peel. Your therapist will always consult with you and ensure your downtime is planned accordingly before going ahead with treatment.
-
Treatment results will vary according to the client. Healthy, glowing skin requires commitment. We recommend a course of approximately 4-6 medi-peels spaced out monthly to achieve results. We then recommend ongoing homecare & maintenance treatments for your skin to maintain optimal radiance and glow. We do, however, also offer one off medi-peels that are perfect pre-event for radiant skin.

For best results, a course of approximately 4–6 medi-peels, spaced monthly, is suggested. Maintenance with tailored homecare and occasional follow-up peels helps preserve a radiant, refreshed appearance. One-off peels are also available if you're seeking a pre-event glow.

Medi-peels are performed by trained skin professionals using medical-grade chemical solutions. As with all skin treatments, there are potential risks and side effects that vary depending on the individual, skin type, peel depth, and aftercare.
Common side effects that some patients may experience include:
Temporary redness, sensitivity, or warmth in the treated area
Flaking, dryness, or light peeling as the skin renews
Mild swelling
Less common but possible risks include:
Pigmentation changes, including post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, particularly in darker skin tones
Prolonged redness or sensitivity
Skin reactions in patients with certain skin conditions such as rosacea, eczema, or active dermatitis
Risk of cold sore reactivation in patients with a history of the herpes simplex virus
In rare cases, infection or scarring
Individual experiences and recovery times vary. Common side effects typically resolve within a few days, though this depends on peel depth and individual skin response.
A thorough consultation and skin assessment will be conducted prior to treatment to determine your suitability, identify any contraindications, and discuss the specific risks relevant to your skin type and concerns. Your practitioner will provide detailed aftercare instructions to support your recovery.

Yes, you can certainly combine medi-peels with other advanced treatments such as LED therapy (e.g., Omnilux) or microneedling treatments as part of a broader skin rejuvenation plan. Your therapist will advise on sequencing for optimal results and safety.

Before treatment: Your clinician may recommend adjusting your skincare routine (e.g., pausing active ingredients like retinols) to ensure your skin is prepped for the peel.
Aftercare: Sunscreen is essential, given the new skin’s sensitivity. You’ll also receive tailored aftercare guidelines, typically advising gentle cleansing, avoiding excessive heat or exfoliants, and supporting your skin’s recovery.
