Chemical Peels
‘A Facelift improves sagging of the skin; a Chemical Peel improves the Texture, Smoothness, and Colour Tones of your skin’
Chemical Peels in Dubai
A chemical peel for the face can restore a healthy, youthful glow that surgical procedures like facelifts cannot achieve. While a facelift targets sagging skin and soft tissues, chemical peels focus on enhancing skin texture and evening out color tones.
Chemical Peel Results
A chemical peel can help improve:
-
Blotchiness and freckles due to sun exposure
-
Fine wrinkles or coarse wrinkles, depending on type of peel used
-
Brown patches on the face form pregnancy, hormone replacement therapy, or oral contraceptives (melasma)
Types of Chemical Peels
A Thigh Lift can help make the thighs look sleeker, smoother, and shapelier. It accomplishes this through a combination of Liposuction and skin removal.
There are two types of chemical peels:
TCA Strength
Typical uses
18%
Removes sun spots/freckles, improves skin tone, textures
35%
Removes darker sun spots/freckles, age spots, improves texture, smoothness skin tone, and fine wrinkles
50%
For deeper lines, they should be used cautiously, and can bleach the skin.
TCA Peels
TCA stands for Trichloroacetic Acid. This is a chemical peel that is used in various concentration strengths for progressively stronger effects. The most commonly used strength is 35%.
Dr. Ahmad most commonly uses 35% TCA which will improve the overall skin tone uniformity, remove solar dyschromias (sun spots/freckles), and get rid of fine lines. It can be used on the entire face or applied in select areas such as the crows feet or lower eyelids.
Phenol Peels
Phenol peels are significantly stronger than 35% TCA and can deliver dramatic, long-lasting results. They are highly effective at reducing coarse facial lines and achieving uniform skin tone. Before laser skin resurfacing became popular, phenol peels were considered the gold standard for skin improvement. Many plastic surgeons still believe that phenol peels provide unmatched enhancement and longevity compared to lasers. However, due to their strength, they can cause mild skin bleaching and are not recommended for individuals with darker skin tones. Phenol peels must be performed under monitored IV sedation for safety.

The Chemical Peel Procedure
Prior to undergoing a chemical peel, you may need your skin prepared to accept the peel. This generally consists of pre-treating the skin for a number of weeks with Retin A or AHA creams. Pre-treatment helps to optimize the beneficial effects of the peel.
Chemical peels can often be applied without anesthetic when treating small facial areas, such as the lower eyelids or upper lip. Lighter-strength peels, like those with up to 35% TCA, may cause a mild burning sensation. For full facial resurfacing, sedation is typically required to minimize discomfort. Phenol peels, in particular, are performed under cardiac monitoring due to the potential risk of heart rhythm irregularities during rapid application.
Once sedation is administered (if needed), Dr. Ahmad will cleanse your skin thoroughly. The chemical solution is then applied using a cotton-tipped applicator. With TCA peels, the depth of treatment can be adjusted by mechanically rubbing the solution into the skin. Phenol peels, on the other hand, penetrate the skin to a consistent depth without requiring mechanical modification.
Recovery After a Chemical Peel
Recovery From Thigh Lift Immediately After Surgery
After a full facial peel, you will likely need to avoid social situations for 7–10 days as the treated areas may ooze and form crusts during the healing process. Dr. Ahmad will provide detailed instructions on how to wash and care for your skin daily. Avoiding sun exposure is crucial during the early healing phase, as the sensitive, healing skin is highly prone to severe sunburn. Patients are strongly advised to refrain from tanning for at least six months after undergoing a full facial peel to protect the skin and ensure optimal results.

-
How long is the recovery period?Most patients experience swelling and mild discomfort for 1–2 weeks. Full recovery and final results may take several weeks to months as the swelling subsides.
-
Will the implants look natural?When performed by a skilled surgeon, facial implants are designed to integrate seamlessly with your natural features, providing subtle yet noticeable improvements.
-
Can facial implants be combined with other procedures?Yes, facial implants are often combined with procedures like rhinoplasty, liposuction, or facelifts to achieve comprehensive facial harmony.

-
How Long Does the Nose Correction / Reshaping Last?For the majority of the Hyaluronic Acid to degrade, more than 12 months will be required. Nonetheless, around one-third of the injection will remain permanent.
-
How Much Does a Nose Job With Filler in Dubai Cost?The costs for a nasal injection containing up to 1 ml of Hyaluronic gel are determined based on the amount of effort and materials required. The price of this injection is AED 2000, excluding value-added tax. The doctor's schedule of fees will be used to determine the price based on the individual effort and materials used. Currently, there is a special offer available for AED 2,100, which is only valid for a few more days.
-
A Nose Correction Without Surgery - What Can I Expect?By undergoing a simple procedure known as Hyaluronic acid implantation, an experienced doctor can help you achieve a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing nose by remodeling its tip or knob area. Observers often tend to notice any facial irregularities, and a nose that has been reshaped through this method will appear more regular and better integrated with the rest of your features, thereby giving the illusion of a smaller nose.
-
Which Hyaluronic Gel (Filler) Is Used?We typically utilize a gel containing synthetic Hyaluronic Acid, which mimics the natural water-retaining substance produced by our bodies. The difference between this synthetic form and the body's own version lies in its chemical stabilization through linking molecules. Other fillers with higher viscosity are less suitable for correcting nasal shape, particularly permanent ones on the nasal ridge, as they either have an unsuitable consistency or are prone to rejection by the body. The gel-like consistency of Hyaluronic Acid allows for a visible, albeit limited lifting effect beneath taut nasal skin. In the event of need, hyaluronidase can dissolve the Hyaluronic Acid gel.
-
How Does a Nose Job Without Surgery Proceed?To begin the procedure, the nose will be locally numbed as required. The Hyaluronic Acid gel will then be accurately implanted beneath the skin to correct the specific needs of the nose. If a local anesthetic is administered, its effects may last for approximately an hour following the treatment. There is no need for downtime or recovery time, and you may resume your daily activities right away.
-
What Unwanted Side Effects Are Possible?It is likely that the treated area will experience swelling and redness after being treated with Hyaluronic Acid. After a nose correction, small hematomas may appear, but they are not comparable to the significant bleeding that may occur after a Rhinoplasty operation. These hematomas can be concealed with make-up and typically disappear within three days. While vigorous massaging may shift the position of the Hyaluronic Acid slightly, it should only be done by the treating physician. Prior to treatment, you will receive information on the potential side effects of any intervention that affects the integrity of the human body, including rare but possible effects on blood and nerve supply, as well as the wound itself. These risks are similar to those associated with the injection of premium-quality Hyaluronic Acid for wrinkle treatment. If you are unsatisfied with the results, Nose Fillers can be dissolved using an appropriate enzyme.
-
Is the Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty with Nose Filler Safe?Hyaluronic Acid occurs naturally in human tissue and doesn't cause rejection reactions. When working with this substance, we use small amounts and needles. Nevertheless, any invasive procedure carries some degree of risk, and the safety of a non-medically necessary treatment should be paramount. Even a relatively safe procedure should not be promoted as entirely risk-free. The injection of Hyaluronic Acid into tissue involves the implantation of a foreign substance, which has mechanical, osmotic, and growth-modulating effects.
-
Is a Nose Job Without Surgery Painful?By administering a local anesthetic to delicate areas, the procedure can be comfortably endured, although some mild discomfort may still be present. Patients may have differing levels of pain perception; for instance, those who underwent a nose correction using Hyaluronic Acid gel may experience temporary, slight discomfort. By employing basic pain medication, we aim to maximize your level of comfort.
