Chemical peels – Dr Fariha Anwar

WHAT IS CHEMICAL PEELS??

Chemical peels are a cosmetic procedure that involves applying a chemical solution to the skin, causing controlled exfoliation and removal of the outermost layers. This process stimulates the regeneration of new, healthier skin, improving texture, tone, and overall appearance.

Types of Chemical Peels:

Superficial Peels: Utilize mild acids like alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) to gently exfoliate the outer layer of skin. These peels are suitable for mild skin discoloration and rough skin.

Medium Peels: Employ trichloroacetic or glycolic acid to reach the middle and outer layers of skin, effectively treating age spots, fine lines, and moderate skin discoloration.

Deep Peels: Use stronger acids to penetrate deeper layers of the skin, addressing more severe wrinkles, scars, or precancerous growths. These peels offer more dramatic results but require a longer recovery period.

WHERE CAN CHEMCIAL PEEL BE USED?

Patients undergoing chemical peel treatments often observe significant improvements in skin clarity, texture, and overall appearance. Results can vary based on the type and depth of the peel, as well as individual skin characteristics.

FAQ

Chemical Peels Treatment

What skin problems can chemical peels treat?

Chemical peels effectively treat acne, acne scars, uneven skin tone, pigmentation, sun damage, fine lines, dull skin, and enlarged pores. They work by removing the outer damaged skin layers to reveal fresher, brighter skin underneath.

What types of chemical peels are available and which is right for me?

There are superficial, medium, and deep peels. Superficial peels need no downtime and are great for a quick glow. Medium peels address more visible concerns like pigmentation and fine lines with a few days of peeling. Dr. Fariha will recommend the right type based on your skin type and goals.

Are chemical peels safe for darker skin tones?

Yes, but it is very important to choose the right peel for your skin tone. Darker skin types are more prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), so gentle peels with appropriate preparation are key. Dr. Fariha has experience safely treating a wide range of skin tones common in Dubai.

How many chemical peel sessions will I need?

This depends on the concern being treated. A course of 4–6 superficial peels spaced 2–4 weeks apart gives the best results for acne, pigmentation, and skin brightening. Your treatment plan will be fully personalised during your consultation.
