Mesopeel MD Blemiskin – Advanced Acne & Blemish Prone Peel

medical grade acne chemical peel for blemish prone oily skin

This medical-grade chemical peel is specifically designed for acne-prone, oily, and congested skin, making it an ideal acne treatment in and a go to solution for those seeking a professional chemical peel.

One of the advantages of Mesopeel MD Blemiskin is that it achieves a deep cleanse without excessive downtime. You can expect some mild redness immediately after the peel (usually for a few hours). In the days following, most people experience light flaking or peeling, which typically starts around day 2 or 3 and can last a few days. It’s usually not dramatic – you might see some dry, flaky patches rather than large sheets of skin peeling. Many clients find it easy to conceal any flaking with moisturiser and can go about their normal routine. We do advise avoiding heavy makeup for 1–2 days and keeping your skin well hydrated. By a week post-peel, any dryness should resolve, revealing fresher skin.

Mesopeel MD Blemiskin is a powerful multi-action peel that targets the root causes of acne and oiliness. Key benefits include:

  • Unclogs and Purifies Pores: With a high-concentration 30% salicylic acid, this peel has keratolytic and comedolytic effects – meaning it exfoliates dead skin cells and dissolves pore-clogging debris to banish blackheads and whiteheads Skin is left deeply cleansed and detoxified.

  • Controls Oil and Shine: Blemiskin helps regulate excess sebaceous (oil) secretions to balance oily skin and reduce shine​. By normalizing oil production, it prevents future congestion and breakouts, keeping your complexion matte and fresh.

  • Calms Acne Inflammation: The formula has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, reducing redness and swelling in active blemishes​. It soothes irritated skin and diminishes basal erythema (underlying redness) for a more even tone.

  • Refines Skin Texture: By removing built-up dead cells, the peel smooths rough texture and encourages faster cell turnover. Acne scars and uneven patches become less pronounced over a series of treatments as new, healthy skin emerges.

  • Evens Skin Tone: Frequent breakouts can leave post-acne marks. Blemiskin’s exfoliating action, combined with retinal (a vitamin A derivative), helps fade pigmentation from old spots and promote a clearer, more uniform skin tone over time.

The cost of a single peel is £95, but we do have package deals and discounts available for treatment plans!

Benefits of Mesopeel MD Treatment

  • Mesopeel MD Blemiskin is ideal for individuals who:

    • Struggle with persistent acne, breakouts, or blackheads that don’t fully resolve with routine skincare. If you have frequent pimples or clogged pores, this peel provides intensive clearing.

    • Have oily or combination skin that is prone to shine by midday. Blemiskin helps balance oil levels, making it perfect for seborrheic (excessively oily) skin types.

    • Experience congested skin or enlarged pores. The peel clears out congestion and visibly reduces pore size, so skin looks smoother and more refined.

    • Suffer from acne-related redness or post-inflammatory marks. Its anti-inflammatory ingredients calm redness and help fade those lingering red or brown spots left after blemishes heal.

    • Need a step-up from regular facials: If standard facials or over-the-counter acne products haven’t given you the results you want, this medical-grade acne peel could be your solution to finally achieve clearer skin.

  • Peel Application: The Blemiskin chemical solution is applied evenly across the treatment areas (usually the face, and it can be extended to the neck or back if those areas are acne-prone as well). You might notice a mild tingling, warmth, or a slight stinging sensation – this is normal as the acids start working. Our practitioner will often apply the peel in controlled layers (typically up to 2 layers), depending on your skin’s tolerance and needs​. Each layer is usually left on for about 3–5 minutes to allow the actives to penetrate and do their job.

  • Monitoring & Neutralisation: Your comfort and safety are our top priority. We closely monitor your skin’s response during the peel. If needed, a small fan can be used to ease any discomfort. After the designated exposure time, the peel is neutralised (stopped) and gently removed. Some peels like Blemiskin may self neutralise or crystallize (you might see a white “frost” which is just the salicylic acid reacting), after which we’ll cleanse it off. The entire active portion of the treatment is quick – usually 15 minutes or less of peel time.

  • Post-Peel Soothing: Once the peel is off, we apply a soothing neutralising solution or cool compress to calm the skin. This is followed by a hydrating serum or mask and a nourishing moisturizer to replenish your skin’s moisture barrier. Finally, we apply a broad-spectrum SPF to protect your freshly peeled skin, as it will be more sensitive to sunlight. Before you leave, we’ll review aftercare instructions (like avoiding direct sun and using gentle products).

We are based in Bedford Town, Bedfordshire and Leicester City Centre, Leicestershire.

    • Single Mesopeel MD Blemiskin Session – £95: This includes your consultation, the peel treatment, and post-care advice. There are no hidden fees; if you require any take-home products, we’ll discuss those options, but the peel itself is £95 per session.

    • Package of 3 Sessions – £255: To truly tackle acne, a series is most effective. We offer the option to pre-book a package of three treatments for £255 (this saves you £30 versus paying per session). Many clients opt for 3 sessions over 6 weeks for significant improvement.

    • Package of 5 Sessions - £430 giving you the largest saving.

  • Salicylic acid peels like Blemiskin are generally considered safe for many skin tones, including those with higher melanin levels, because salicylic acid is self-neutralizing and tends to work within the epidermis. In fact, by reducing inflammation quickly, it may help prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that often follows acne in darker skin. That said, every individual is different. If you have a medium to deep skin tone, our practitioner will be cautious with number of layers and monitor closely. We might start with one layer on your first session to gauge response. We’ll also ensure you use proper sunscreen and possibly a fading cream in between sessions to keep your pigmentation even. Your safety is our priority – we have experience treating diverse skin types at our clinics.

  • Mesopeel MD Blemiskin is a medical-grade peel – meaning it’s a stronger, more advanced formulation than what you’d get in a standard beauty salon or what’s available in at-home kits. It contains professional concentrations (like 30% salicylic acid and retinal) that can only be applied by trained clinicians. This allows it to achieve deeper exfoliation and significant acne-fighting effects that a mild glycolic or fruit acid peel from the drugstore simply cannot. Additionally, the “MD” line peels are formulated for use by dermatology and aesthetic medicine specialists, ensuring they’re both effective and safe when used correctly. In our clinics, we also have the expertise to address any unique skin needs, layering or adjusting the peel as necessary. Think of it this way: a spa facial is great for maintenance and relaxation, but if you have a specific skin problem like persistent acne, a targeted treatment like Blemiskin will yield more substantial results. Many clients actually do both – they might do a Blemiskin peel series to get their acne under control, then maintain their results with occasional facials or lighter peels.

  • After a series of treatments, results can be long-lasting in terms of keeping acne at bay and improving skin texture. However, acne is a condition influenced by hormones, genetics, lifestyle, etc., so it’s wise to do maintenance. We often suggest coming in for a maintenance Blemiskin peel or an alternate treatment every few months (say, one peel every 3–6 months) to keep pores clear and oil regulated. Using good skincare at home (which we can recommend) will also prolong your results. Many patients find that after getting acne under control with peels, they can manage with topical products and just occasional professional treatments.

  • Yes, chemical peels can be an excellent component of a comprehensive acne treatment plan. Many clients combine Blemiskin peels with therapies like LED light therapy (to kill bacteria and reduce inflammation) or microneedling (for acne scarring, but this would be done in a separate session). We generally do not perform multiple procedures on the same day as a peel to avoid overstressing the skin.

  • One of the advantages of Mesopeel MD Blemiskin is that it achieves a deep cleanse without excessive downtime. You can expect some mild redness immediately after the peel (usually for a few hours). In the days following, most people experience light flaking or peeling, which typically starts around day 2 or 3 and can last a few days. It’s usually not dramatic – you might see some dry, flaky patches rather than large sheets of skin peeling. Many clients find it easy to conceal any flaking with moisturizer and can go about their normal routine. We do advise avoiding heavy makeup for 1–2 days and keeping your skin well hydrated. By a week post peel, any dryness should resolve, revealing fresher skin.

  • You may notice some improvements even within the first week after one session – for example, your skin may feel smoother and less oily, and active pimples could heal faster than usual. Redness and inflammation often reduce quickly as well. However, the most significant results occur cumulatively. We usually recommend a series of 3–5 peels spaced about 2 weeks apart for optimal acne clearing results With each session, you’ll likely see fewer new breakouts, reduced congestion, and fading of old blemish marks. By the end of your treatment plan, the difference can be dramatic – many of our Bedford and Leicester clients report a transformation to much clearer, healthier-looking skin.
