THE MICHIKO APPROACH

Considered care.
Personal to you.

THE CLEAR ANSWER

What does this
care involve?

A chemical peel applies a selected solution to create controlled exfoliation. Depending on the formulation and depth, it may be considered for rough texture, congestion, selected superficial pigmentation or fine lines. The doctor assesses your skin tone, barrier, medicines and tendency to pigment or scar before recommending a peel.

MICHIKO · YOUR QUESTIONS, EXPLAINED

Skin Peeling · MICHIKO.
Beyond the treatment name.

What can a peel help with?

A superficial peel may be considered for selected texture, congestion and colour concerns. Deeper peels have a different recovery and risk profile and are not automatically appropriate for darker skin tones or every type of pigmentation. A peel does not correct substantial skin laxity or all acne scars. The treatment should have a clear purpose rather than a goal of maximum visible peeling.

Ingredients and depth need context

Peeling solutions may use acids such as glycolic, lactic, salicylic or trichloroacetic acid, depending on the clinician’s purpose. Concentration alone does not determine the effect: formulation, contact time, preparation and technique also matter. This overview does not mean that every peel type is offered at MICHIKO. Ask the doctor which specific solution and depth are being proposed and why.

Preparing without over-treating

Tell the doctor about retinoids, isotretinoin, acids, waxing, lasers, herpes, pregnancy, scarring tendency and recent sun exposure. The clinic should give individual instructions on which products to pause and when. Do not stop prescribed medicines or intensify exfoliation in preparation on your own. Inflamed, sunburnt or broken skin may need time to recover first.

What recovery can look like

Depending on the peel, skin may feel tight and show redness, dryness, darkening or flaking. Some light peels produce little visible peeling. Avoid picking, rubbing or adding strong actives before the skin is ready. Use the recommended cleanser, moisturiser and sun protection. Increasing pain, blistering, oozing or spreading redness warrants prompt clinical advice.

Planning for work, sun and travel

Discuss the recovery window before choosing a date, especially before outdoor activities, a beach holiday or an important event. Possible complications include persistent redness, pigment change, infection and scarring. Your skin’s response should determine whether and when another peel is worthwhile. The quote should specify the peel, area and follow-up.

WHY MICHIKO

Considered at MICHIKO.

MICHIKO puts skin tolerance and the reason for peeling before intensity. Dr. Gift and our medical team consider your skin tone and routine, explain recovery and plan review before recommending a stronger or repeated treatment.

Your skin. Your own rhythm.

Start with your concern

Describe what has changed and what you hope to improve. The assessment comes before a programme recommendation.

LISTEN

Understand the options

Compare the approaches that fit your assessment. Understand what each can improve, where its limits lie and whether a simpler first step would suit you.

ASSESS

Choose a clear plan

Discuss the exact method or product, expected benefit, limits, risks and total cost. There is time to decide and room to choose a simpler plan.

PLAN

Keep the conversation open

Know your aftercare, review timing and how to contact the team. Your response helps shape the next step.

CARE

Make space for your questions

MICHIKO · A CLOSER LOOK

Feel prepared.
Know what comes next.

Before your visit

Bring details of previous procedures, current medicines and supplements, allergies and any recent skin reaction. Tell the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Mention work, travel and event dates so the plan can account for recovery and follow-up. Do not stop prescribed medicines without advice.

After your treatment

Use gentle cleansing, the recommended moisturiser and consistent sun protection. Do not pick darkened areas or crusts. Ask when to resume active skincare and exercise. Unexpected blistering, worsening pain or signs of infection need clinical advice.

Review before repeating

Agree on a review point and the change you are hoping to see. Your response, side effects and priorities should guide the next step. Ask for a clear quote covering the proposed product or method, quantity where relevant, and follow-up.

BEFORE YOU VISIT

Your questions.
Space for clear answers.

If my skin does not peel visibly, did it work?

Not necessarily. Visible flaking depends on the peel; it is not the only measure of response. Review the original treatment goal with the clinician.

Can a peel make pigmentation worse?

Yes, irritation can lead to pigment changes. Skin tone, previous reactions, peel selection and aftercare all matter.

Is a clinic peel the same as an at-home acid?

Not necessarily. Clinical formulations and depth can differ substantially. Do not copy a professional protocol or mix stronger acids at home.
