The Perfect Peel

The Perfect Peel®

Dr Martyn King | Cosmedic Skin Clinic | Staffordshire

The Perfect Peel® by PRFKT® Pro is a medical-grade chemical peel designed to improve skin tone, texture, clarity, and overall radiance. It is a medium-depth peel that works by exfoliating damaged outer skin layers while stimulating deeper skin regeneration.

This treatment is suitable for a wide range of skin concerns including pigmentation, acne scarring, sun damage, fine lines, and uneven skin tone. It is often described as a “reset” for the skin, helping to reveal fresher, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin over the following days and weeks.

The Perfect Peel® is suitable for both men and women and is effective on all skin types when performed under medical supervision.

How it works

The Perfect Peel® is a blended chemical peel formulation containing a combination of acids, antioxidants, and skin-rejuvenating ingredients designed to target multiple layers of the skin.

It works by:

• Removing damaged outer skin cells (epidermal exfoliation)
• Stimulating controlled skin renewal
• Improving collagen production
• Reducing pigmentation irregularities
• Encouraging healthier skin cell turnover

During treatment:

• The skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepared
• The peel solution is applied evenly to the treatment area
• A tingling or warm sensation may be experienced
• The solution remains on the skin for a short period
• Patients leave the clinic with post-peel care instructions and at-home products

Peeling typically begins a few days after treatment and lasts several days.
