Medik8 Rewind Peel

What it’s like to the have a Medik8 Rewind Mask.

Wanting to rewind a few years I looked for a Peel that mainly offered anti-aging results but since im a bit of a wimp I wanted a peel that wasn’t going to burn my face off!

Medik8 describes the Rewind Peel as “A targeted formulation that helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It helps fade away imperfection, leaving the skin visibly smoothed and rejuvenated.” But it doesn’t say anything about pain level or how much of a burning sensation it will be.

I have been to Bare Skin and Beauty for a few years now so I am familiar with there process but for anyone that hasn’t been to them I will start from the beginning.

When I arrived at Bare Skin and Beauty I was greeted by a friendly young gentleman and asked to have a seat in the waiting area. Waiting area is out of plan sight and have music and comfortable seating, its actually rather nice especially for a shopping centre location.

I was provided with the standard paperwork to ensure I had no contraindications that would make it a risk for me to have the treatment and waited for the therapist to come and greet me.

I was brought through the glass doors that separate the shop front from the treatment rooms and as soon as the doors close it suddenly gets a lot quieter. I am taken into a dimly lite room with back lighting to showcase the products, at this stage you pretty much forget that your in the middle of Ellenbrook Shopping centre and everything gets a lot more relaxed.

I have to say having relaxing music playing and the relaxing atmosphere definitely helps calm my nerves especially when I’m not sure what I’m in for with the Medik8 Rewind peel,

The therapist had all the products already prepared on the benchtop ready for my, laying in the comfy bed, listening to relaxing music I wait while my therapists does the final adjustments. A reassuring touch on the forehead tells me that she is about to start the facial and she starts cleansing my face.

She does a double cleanse and then wipes over my face with a pre peel prep which is a bit stinky but nothing too bad.

followed by applying the Medik8 peel to my face.

While she is applying the Medik8 Peel there is not much pain or burning at all, she gets to my nose and cheeks and I can feel a slight tingling but maybe a 2 out of 10 on the discomfort scale.

Probably the main downside at this stage is the peel is a bit stinky so it’s probably best not to breath through nose

The peel stays on for approximately 5 minutes and is then removed.

The therapist then uses the Medik8 neutralizer to neutralize the peel and all of a sudden things get a little more painful…

Its not too bad but I didn’t expect the worst part to be when the peel is actually removed haha.

Discomfort scale is probably around the 4 out of 10 at this stage so its still not too bad.

After the Medik8 Peel is neutralized the therapist applies a medik8 mask and it’s left to penetrate for 10minutes.

After 10 minutes the therapist comes back and removes the mask and massages whats left of the serum into my skin.

She then applied the LED mask for 20 minutes. When the LED is finished I am told to take my time to get ready and to meet the therapist out the front.

So generally if I haven’t been bombarded with sales pitches by now then this is the time for them to pounce. haha

I have just spent a good hour relaxing and the last thing I want is to be left feeling pressured into buying skincare products that im not sure I want or need.

The therapist advises that she would recommend a certain range of Medik8 products and im provided with Medik8 samples and told to let her know what I think of them next time im in. That was a lot less pushy than I expected. If I was in the market for Medik8 products I would not hesitate to purchase them now based on the full experience but I just topped up so I will wait until next time.

So the question is, was the Medik8 Rewind Peel worth it? And would I come back here to get it again?

After my treatment I definitely felt and looked Rewound haha, I was a little disappointed that it lacked some of the massage and other aspects I have received from other facials from Bare Skin and Beauty but I did book for a results based treatment and not a fluffy treatment.

The results is what I wanted and the results is what I got!

I know that it is recommended to have a routine of 6 peels but even after the 1 treatment my skin feels tighter, smoother and more hydrated. I look about 5 years younger and awake! Haha

When I chose to do the Medik8 Rewind Peel at Bare Skin and Beauty I did look at other clinics in Perth but a lot of them where located in the centre of Perth which is 30-40 minutes extra travel from where I live. The other locations had similar or lower star ratings and I truly feel I got a treatment that was as relaxing as it could be without feeling like im on a operating table. For these reasons I definitely rate trying 1 (or 6) Medik8 Rewind Peel at Bare Skin and Beauty
