While the Medi-Heel Foot Peel Treatment is generally considered safe, there are some risks and potential side effects to be aware of. The chemical solution used in the treatment contains alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), which can cause skin irritation, redness, and sensitivity. In some cases, the skin may also become dry and flaky, which can lead to discomfort and itching. There is also a risk of infection if the skin is exposed to bacteria or fungi during the peeling process. To minimise this risk, it's important to avoid exposing the feet to unclean surfaces or wearing open-toed shoes until the peeling process is complete. In rare cases, the treatment may also cause an allergic reaction or rash, particularly if you have sensitive skin or a known allergy to any of the ingredients in the foot peel solution.
