The Milk Peel is a medical grade peel that penetrates the outer layers of your skin to treat fine lines, skin imperfections and oily or dry skin. Its active ingredients including glycolic, lactic and salicylic acid penetrate the skin to breathe new life into your face.
Applied to the surface of the skin, the ‘peel’ carefully removes built up layers of dead skin cells, stubborn grime, and excess oil on the surface of the skin to reveal a fresher surface underneath. Following the treatment patients are left with a restored skin radiance.
The process stimulates the epidermis, which enhances the skin tone, smooths and softens the skin, and stimulates skin repair. Overall leaving you skin in better shape with no pain or downtime.
The most common area treated is the face, however a skin peel can be performed on the face, neck, chest, hands and even the arms and legs for both females and males.

- The main active ingredient in a Milk Peel is lactic acid, which is derived from milk. Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that exfoliates the outer layer of the skin, promoting cell turnover and stimulating collagen production.
Is there downtime after a Milk Peel?
- Downtime is minimal with a Milk Peel. Some individuals may experience temporary redness or mild flaking, but these effects usually resolve within a few days. Makeup can often be applied shortly after the procedure.
Is a Milk Peel painful?
- A Milk Peel is generally well-tolerated and not considered painful. Individuals may experience a tingling or mild warming sensation during the application of the peel, but this is typically temporary.
Can a Milk Peel be done at home with over-the-counter products?
- While there are over-the-counter products containing lactic acid, professional Milk Peels use higher concentrations and are performed by trained skincare professionals.
