Chemical Peels in Dubai

Chemical Peel Treatment in Dubai

A chemical peel is a luxurious skin resurfacing procedure that uses a chemical solution to remove the top layers of skin, revealing a smoother and more even complexion.

With a light or medium peel, you may need to undergo the procedure more than once to get the desired results. Chemical peels are used to treat mild blemishes, discolouration, and scars, usually on the face, and can be done alone or combined with other cosmetic procedures. Depending on the issues, the doctor will choose a chemical peel in one of three depths - light, medium, or deep - to achieve the desired results.

Treatment or Concern

Let us know what treatment you're enquiring about or your skin concerns.

The procedure itself is usually 15-20 minutes long and involves cleaning the face, applying the peel solution and observing the skin. Depending on the chosen peel, it may be cleaned immediately or left in place for a few hours. You will be instructed accordingly by the physician. Normal healing from a chemical peel involves redness of the treated skin followed by skin shedding for 2 to 5 days, and there may be redness, swelling or scabbing in some instances. A light chemical peel improves skin texture and tone and lessens the appearance of fine wrinkles, with results that increase with repeated treatments. After a deep chemical peel, you'll likely see a dramatic improvement in the look and feel of treated areas, although results may not be permanent.
Avoid tanning or excessive sun exposure for 2 weeks prior to the treatment. The doctor may advise using a retinol-based cream to prime the skin 2 to 3 weeks prior to the treatment. Any actives need to be stopped 3 days before the peeling procedure.
Our doctor will recommend using some aftercare products to help in recovering from the procedure faster and to maintain the results. You should avoid sweating, exercising, hot baths and showers for 72 hours after your peel; avoid scrubbing, picking or rubbing the skin for 5 days after your treatment. Avoid strong sun exposure, such as sunbathing with your face in the sun, and tanning beds for at least 14 days after your treatment.
