Chemical peels are one of the most effective treatments for achieving smoother, more radiant skin. At AL WEAM MEDICAL CENTRE in Ras Al Khaimah, we offer a range of chemical peel treatments tailored to your skin type and concerns. ## What Are Chemical Peels?

This process stimulates cell renewal and collagen production. ## Types of Chemical Peels ### Superficial Peels - Mild acids (like glycolic acid) - Minimal downtime - Treats fine lines, mild discoloration - Can be done monthly ### Medium Peels - Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) - Moderate downtime (3-7 days) - Treats moderate sun damage, wrinkles - Done every 6-12 months ### Deep Peels - Phenol-based solutions - Significant downtime (2-3 weeks) - Treats deep wrinkles, severe sun damage - Done once (dramatic results) ## Conditions Chemical Peels Can Treat - Fine lines and wrinkles - Age spots and sun damage - Acne and acne scars - Uneven skin tone - Melasma and hyperpigmentation - Rough skin texture ## The Treatment Process ### Consultation Your doctor will assess your skin type, concerns, and recommend the most appropriate peel. ### Preparation - Discontinue certain skincare products - Use prescribed preparatory products - Avoid sun exposure ### During Treatment - Skin is cleansed thoroughly - Peel solution is applied - You may feel tingling or warmth - Solution is neutralized/removed - Takes 30-60 minutes ### Recovery - Superficial: Minimal peeling, back to normal in 1-3 days - Medium: Moderate peeling, recovery in 5-7 days - Deep: Significant peeling, recovery in 2-3 weeks ## Post-Treatment Care - Keep skin moisturized - Use gentle, non-irritating products - Strict sun protection (SPF 50+) - Avoid picking at peeling skin - Follow doctor's instructions carefully ## Results You Can Expect - Smoother, more even skin texture - Reduced appearance of fine lines - Improved skin tone and brightness - Diminished age spots and sun damage - Reduced acne scarring - More youthful, radiant appearance Schedule your chemical peel consultation at AL WEAM MEDICAL CENTRE today!
