No matter your age, your facial skin can benefit from assistance in regulating cellular revitalization and rejuvenation. At the premier clinic in Dubai Rojmed Polyclinic, we are delighted to provide an extensive array of non-surgical skin-boosting treatments, including Chemical Peels, to address your skin health concerns.
Chemical peels, also known as skin peels, have garnered popularity among individuals dealing with various skin issues such as age spots, acne, enlarged pores, and pigmentation. These cosmetic procedures, which do not involve surgery, aim to improve skin texture and promote clearer skin through the use of specialized chemical solutions. While commonly used for facial concerns, chemical peels are also applicable to addressing skin issues on other areas such as the neck, back, arms, hands, legs, and buttocks.
By utilizing naturally occurring chemicals, chemical peels stimulate cellular activity and enhance collagen fiber production, leading to noticeable improvements in skin texture, elasticity, firmness, complexion, and overall appearance. At the Dermatology Clinic of American Hospital, we offer a diverse range of chemical peels customized to suit each individual's specific needs. Following an initial consultation, our skincare practitioner will evaluate your skin health and devise a personalized treatment plan, selecting the most suitable peel for your skin type.
The enduring popularity of chemical peels can be attributed to their effectiveness and versatility, making them a longstanding choice for addressing various skin concerns.
Chemical peels can improve the appearance of:
- Hyperpigmentation
- Deep lines and wrinkles
- Stretch marks
- Scars caused by surgery, acne, or trauma
- Freckles
- Dark spots and patches
- Melasma
- Dark circles around the eyes
- Acne
- Sun damage
- Large pores
Chemical Peel Treatment Options:
Each chemical peel treatment is tailored to achieve specific objectives, all aimed at rejuvenating skin texture and enhancing its appearance. During your initial consultation at the Dermatology Center, your skincare specialist will assess your skin health, condition, and type to determine the most suitable chemical peel treatment for you.
Light peels target surface-level skin concerns within the epidermis. These peels are effective in reducing fine lines, blemishes, and require minimal healing time.
Medium peels are designed to address both epidermal and upper dermal skin issues, including wrinkles, acne scars, and pigmentation problems.
Deep peels target deeper layers of the skin, addressing severe concerns like thick wrinkles, deep acne scarring, and sun damage. However, these peels necessitate a longer recovery period, often spanning several months.
Who Benefits from Chemical Peels?
Chemical face peel treatments offer an excellent solution for both men and women seeking non-surgical skin rejuvenation. If you're troubled by acne scars or dissatisfied with age-related skin concerns, then a chemical peel treatment may be the ideal choice for you. Chemical peels are suitable for all skin types and tones, making them a versatile option for anyone. However, historically, individuals with fair skin tend to respond more favorably to chemical face peels compared to those with darker skin tones.
Unfortunately, issues such as bulges, severe wrinkles, and sagging skin are not effectively addressed by chemical face peel treatments. Moreover, if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, prone to frequent cold sore outbreaks, or have keloid scarring, a chemical peel treatment may not be suitable for you.
Preparing for a Chemical Peel:
Proper preparation is crucial to ensure a successful chemical face peel and minimize the risk of complications. It's essential to adhere to your dermatologist's instructions both before and after the treatment. Before undergoing a chemical face peel, you should:
- Minimize sun exposure for at least 72 hours beforehand.
- Discontinue the use of Accutane six months prior to the treatment.
- Follow your doctor's guidance regarding the application of topical products to prepare your skin for the procedure.
- Avoid using retinoids for at least two weeks leading up to the treatment.
Post-Chemical Peel Expectations:
Following a chemical face peel treatment, it's important to refrain from engaging in strenuous exercise for at least five hours. Due to the removal of the top layer of skin during the procedure, your skin will become more sensitive. Consequently, it's crucial to minimize sun exposure as much as possible for at least a week afterward. When venturing outdoors, remember to apply sunscreen. Additionally, avoid rubbing or scratching your skin for several days following the procedure.
