What are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are a beauty treatment where special liquids are put on your skin. This helps the top layer of your skin come off, making room for new skin to grow. The new skin is smoother, clearer, and looks better. It can also help with things like fine lines, acne scars, uneven skin tone, and other skin problems. You can get a chemical peel on your face, neck, or hands. The type of liquid used depends on how deep you want the peel and what skin problem you're trying to fix.We Provided All Types Of Aesthetic Dermatology Treatments
Chemical Peel Procedures
Chemical peel treatments are fairly straightforward procedures. You can expect the following:
- Step 1: A chemical peel is a treatment done by a doctor either in their office or at a surgery center. If it's a deep peel, you can usually go home the same day.
- Step 2: A skin expert who does chemical peels will check how your skin is doing and make a plan for a chemical peel treatment based on your skin's condition, what you want, and other things.
- Step 3: Before the doctor does the treatment, they will probably tell you to pull your hair back and put on protective eye goggles.
- Step 4: First, they'll clean your face really well to get rid of extra oils. After that, they'll numb the part they're working on using a numbing cream.

Types of Chemical Peel
Superficial Peel
Gentle peels are made of mild acids that only go into the top layer of your skin. To do a gentle peel, a cotton ball, gauze, or brush will put a special liquid on your skin. You might feel a little sting, showing that it's working. Afterward, the liquid will be taken off, or another liquid will be used to stop the peeling process.
Medium-Strength Peel
Medium peels use stronger acids to reach the middle and outer layers of your skin. In a medium peel, the doctor puts a solution with glycolic acid on your face using a cotton ball, sponge, or gauze. Your skin will turn white, and you might feel a stinging sensation for about 20 minutes. The doctor may use a cold compress on your face to help with the prickliness. Afterward, any remaining solution is wiped off your skin.
Deep Peel
Deep peels use a stronger acid like phenol or trichloroacetic acid to go deep into the middle layer of your skin and get rid of damaged skin cells. If you're getting a deep chemical peel, you'll probably be given something to make you sleepy. The doctor will use a cotton-tipped tool to put the chemical solution on your skin every 15 minutes. They do this to make sure your skin doesn't stay in contact with the acid for too long.
Why are Chemical Peels done?
Chemical face peels are a way to make your skin look much better. They help with different skin problems like wrinkles, uneven skin color, scars, and more. There are different types of peels that go at different depths into your skin. Deep peels give bigger changes but need more time to recover.
These treatments take off the top layer of your skin so that new and healthy skin can grow. They work well against acne and make tired skin look better. Chemical peels can also fix issues like dark spots and damage from the sun, giving you bright and glowing skin. They're also good at fighting signs of getting older, like wrinkles, so you can stay looking young and pretty.
Who needs Chemical Peels?
Chemical face peels are great for people who want to freshen up their skin without surgery. If you're bothered by acne scars or your skin looks older than you'd like, a chemical peel might be just what you need! These peels work on all skin types and colors, making them a good choice for everyone. However, lighter-skinned people tend to see better results than those with darker skin.
But, if you have bulges, deep wrinkles, or saggy skin, chemical peels might not help much. Also, if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, get cold sores a lot, or have keloid scars, a chemical peel may not be right for you.
Risks & Side Effects of Chemical Peels
Using a chemical face peel can be really good for your skin, but it might have some downsides too. The treated area might stay red for a few months after the procedure. You might also see some swelling or scabbing for a few days. Putting a cold compress on it can help bring down the swelling. If you don't take care of your skin properly after the treatment, there's a small chance of getting bacterial, viral, or fungal infections from the chemical peel.
How to Prepare for a Chemical Peel Dubai?
If you don't do chemical face peels the right way, they can cause problems. That's why it's important to listen to your dermatologist's advice before and after the treatment. Before you get a chemical face peel, make sure to:
Avoid retinoids for at least two weeks before the treatment
Apply topical products as instructed by your doctor before treatment to prepare your skin
Stop taking Accutane six months before the treatment procedure
Avoid excessive sun exposure for at least 72 hours
What to Expect after Getting a Chemical Peel?
After getting a chemical face peel, don't do intense workouts for at least five hours. Your skin will be extra sensitive because the top layer is gone. Stay away from the sun for about a week, and use sunscreen when you go out. Don't rub or scratch your skin for a few days after the treatment.

A chemical peel is the application of a chemical solution that leads to the exfoliation of the top layers. It results in cellular renewal that visibly declares fresh and fitter skin beneath. The depth of the peel can influence the type of treatment as it can target superficial or deeper skin imperfections.
Chemical peels are a sought-after treatment for patients suffering from acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, or uneven skin tones and texture. Removing outer layers of skin that are damaged by chemical peels reveals a more youthful and radiant appearance.
Chemical peels can be classified into several groups, from superficial to deep peels. These are the peels that are used to remove an outer layer of skin with mild acids such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs).
Medium peels tend to peel deeper as opposed to light peels using trichloroacetic acid (TCA) while deep peels get into the deepest layers with phenol. The type of exfoliation recommended will depend on your skin care needs and skin target outcome.
Recovery time from a chemical peel varies depending on the depth of the peel and individual skin sensitivity. Superficial peels may cause mild redness and flaking for a few days, while deeper peels may result in more significant peeling and require a longer recovery period of up to two weeks.
It’s essential to follow post-peel care instructions provided by your skincare professional to ensure proper healing.
Recovery after a chemical peeling depends on how deep the peel is and the degree of each person’s skin sensitivity. Shallower peels normally let some redness and peeling for 2-3 days but deeper peels may cause severe peeling and require longer to recover, up to 14 days. It is necessary to observe the post-peel care advice that our skincare expert recommends so that you can help effect the proper healing.
The frequency of chemical peels varies according to the type of peel and the skin tolerance of the individual.
The peels that are simply on the surface can be done once every 4-6 weeks to maintain the results and for the deeper peels, it is not recommended to be done more than once or twice a year depending on the intensity of treatment.
Your skin professional can prescribe an individualized schedule of peel treatments for you based on how your skin responds to the treatments.
