Our Range of Body Peels
Different areas of the body have different skin characteristics and require different approaches. Each treatment is selected according to your skin type, concern and the level of resurfacing required.
Back Resurfacing Peel
An intensive organic sea coral sponge resurfacing treatment for concerns including acne scarring, pigmentation, uneven texture and rough skin across the back. The treatment stimulates significant skin renewal, with visible peeling and downtime expected.
Back Acne Peel
A targeted professional peel for active back acne, congestion and blocked pores. Treatment is designed to reduce breakouts, manage excess oil and support clearer skin, with a course recommended where appropriate.
Arms Resurfacing Peel
Specialist resurfacing for concerns including keratosis pilaris, uneven texture, pigmentation and post-acne marks across the arms and shoulders.
Underarm Resurfacing Peel
A targeted approach to underarm pigmentation and uneven skin tone, using carefully selected resurfacing treatments appropriate for this more sensitive area.
Intimate Area Brightening & Pigmentation Correction
A carefully controlled treatment combining professional resurfacing techniques to address uneven pigmentation in intimate areas. Treatment is adapted to the sensitivity of the area and individual skin type, with a course recommended where appropriate.
Is a Body Peel Right for You?

What Changes After Body Peel Treatment
Clearer, Smoother Back Skin
Acne scarring, rough texture, and pigmentation on the back reduce as the resurfacing process replaces damaged skin with smoother, healthier tissue. Many clients notice a visible improvement after their first session.
Reduced Breakouts and Congestion
The Back Acne Peel reduces bacteria, clears blocked pores, and regulates oil production. Breakouts become less frequent and post-inflammatory marks less prominent with each treatment.
More Even Underarm Tone
Post-inflammatory darkening and uneven pigmentation in the underarm area lift progressively as the resurfacing peel targets built-up melanin within the skin layers. The skin becomes smoother and more uniform in appearance.
Smoother Arms
Rough, bumpy texture on the arms softens as the peel resurfaces the skin, with tone evening out across a course.
Improved Intimate Area Appearance
Discolouration and uneven tone reduce gradually across a course of sessions. Skin tone becomes more consistent and refined as melanin activity is regulated over time.
Visible Results After a Single Session
Several of our body peels can deliver noticeable improvement after one session, as the skin sheds and renews through the healing process.
Progressive, Long-Lasting Skin Renewal
The structural improvements created by medical-grade resurfacing are long-lasting. With appropriate aftercare and consistent sun protection, the clarity and tone achieved after treatment can be maintained for an extended period.
Why Choose Medcura for Body Peels?
Effective body resurfacing requires more than applying a stronger peel. Skin thickness, pigmentation, sensitivity and the area being treated all influence which treatment can be used safely and effectively.
Medcura combines premium professional formulations with specialist resurfacing treatments, including our distinctive organic sea coral sponge protocol. Every treatment is individually selected and carefully controlled, giving us the ability to address more persistent body pigmentation, scarring and texture concerns with a considered, professional approach.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a body peel involve?
We cleanse the area and apply a clinical-grade peel matched to your concern. The damaged surface layer sheds over the following days, letting fresher, more even skin come through.
Does a body peel work on old marks and scars?
Yes, older acne marks and pigmentation respond well, though deeper or long-standing marks usually need a course of sessions rather than one.
How long does the peeling last?
It depends on the peel. The deep resurfacing peels peel visibly for around seven days; lighter peels settle in two to five.
Can body peels help with body acne?
Yes. The Back Acne Peel reduces bacteria and clears blocked pores, with breakouts becoming less frequent across a course of treatment.
