Question 1

What exactly is colostrum and why is it in a skin peel?

Accepted Answer

Colostrum is a nutrient-rich fluid packed with proteins, antibodies, and growth factors. When added to a skin peel, it provides the skin with the exact building blocks it needs to heal quickly. This helps rebuild the skin barrier and drastically lowers the inflammation you’d normally get from an acid treatment.

Question 2

Is this peel safe for darker skin tones?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Amiko CMCA Peel is formulated to be safe and highly effective for all Fitzpatrick skin types (I-VI). The specific acids used, like MCA and Azelaic acid, are excellent for safely treating hyperpigmentation in skin of colour.

Question 3

I have rosacea or eczema, can I still have this treatment?

Accepted Answer

Yes, which makes this treatment quite unique. Most chemical peels are too harsh for reactive skin, but this acts as a healing protocol. Ingredients like allantoin, panthenol, and azelaic acid actually help to calm inflammation, making it a very safe option if you have rosacea, eczema, or a damaged barrier.

Question 4

Will my skin physically peel off?

Accepted Answer

It varies from person to person. You might notice some mild to moderate flaking a few days later as the dead skin sheds. However, because the formula is so hydrating, the shedding is usually very gentle and manageable rather than extreme.

Question 5

How long does the appointment take?

Accepted Answer

The treatment itself takes around 30 to 45 minutes. It’s a very straightforward process with minimal downtime, so you can easily fit it into a normal day.

Question 6

When will I start to see results?

Accepted Answer

You will usually notice an immediate glow and plumping effect straight after the treatment thanks to the deep hydration. The more corrective results, such as a reduction in pigmentation, smoother texture, and a clearer complexion, will become much more visible over the following 7 to 14 days as your skin naturally sheds and renews itself.

Question 7

How many sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

You will likely notice a brighter, smoother, and more hydrated complexion after just one session. However, if we are actively treating stubborn concerns like deeper hyperpigmentation, acne scarring, or rosacea, we usually recommend a tailored course of 3 to 6 treatments spaced a few weeks apart to get the best possible results.
