Which peel is right for me?

Royal Peel and Meline Royal Peel differ in formulation and intensity. Dr. Maliha Dar selects the appropriate peel after skin assessment.

Which peel is right for my skin?

The clinic offers Royal Peel and Meline Royal Peel, the latter formulated with pigmentation in mind. Choice depends on your skin type, concern and how much downtime you can accommodate, and is decided at consultation.

How much peeling should I expect?

This varies by peel and by individual. Some produce visible flaking, others little. Dr. Dar will tell you what to expect for the specific peel before you book, so you can plan around it.

Can I have a peel if I have melasma?

Peels are one of the options used in managing pigmentation, but melasma is a condition that is managed rather than cured, and the wrong approach can worsen it. Assessment and skin preparation matter more here than the peel itself.

Is this safe for darker skin tones?

Suitability depends on the specific treatment, its strength and how your skin is prepared. Deeper skin tones carry a higher risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation, so preparation and sun protection matter more. Dr. Dar assesses your skin type and adjusts the protocol accordingly.

How many sessions will I need?

This depends on your skin and the concern being treated. Some concerns respond to a short course; pigmentation in particular is usually managed over time rather than resolved in one session. Your plan is agreed at consultation.

Do I need to prepare my skin beforehand?

Often yes, particularly for pigmentation. Preparation may involve stopping certain actives and using specific products for a period beforehand. Dr. Dar will give you exact instructions, and treatment may be postponed if the skin is not ready.

What happens at the consultation?

Dr. Dar assesses your skin type, concern and history, and explains which option is appropriate and what preparation is required. Where a treatment carries meaningful risk for your skin type, she will explain that rather than proceed.

Introduction

What is Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels use carefully selected acids to exfoliate damaged outer layers, revealing fresher, smoother, more even skin beneath.

Our clinic offers Royal Peel and Meline Royal Peel protocols — chosen based on your skin type, concerns, and downtime preferences.

Dr. Maliha Dar performs peels as part of skin rejuvenation plans for pigmentation, texture, dullness, and overall skin renewal.

Chemical Peels is one of the aesthetic treatments in Dubai offered by Dr. Maliha Dar, and is often planned alongside other treatments as part of a single assessment.

What results can I realistically expect from Chemical Peels?

Timeline

Visible renewal within 1–2 weeks; packages deliver cumulative improvement.

Downtime

Peeling and sensitivity for several days depending on peel depth.

What this treatment can do

Improvement in skin clarity, texture and evenness across a course
Better results where the skin has been properly prepared beforehand

What it will not do

Pigmentation conditions such as melasma are managed rather than cured, and can recur
Sun exposure without protection will undo progress, which matters year-round in the UAE
A single session rarely achieves what a planned course can

Individual results vary. No aesthetic treatment produces a guaranteed outcome, and anyone promising one should be treated with caution.

How much does Chemical Peels cost in Dubai?

FromFrom AED 350

Pricing is per session, and the number of sessions depends on your skin type and the concern being treated. The figures below are the clinic's current prices; your plan is agreed at consultation before treatment begins.

What affects the price

The specific peel or formulation, and its strength
The number of sessions needed for your skin type and concern
Whether preparation products are required beforehand, which is common for pigmentation

You receive written pricing at consultation before any treatment goes ahead. The clinic does not quote a final price without assessing you first, because the amount of product and number of sessions genuinely differ between patients.

Safety

Suitability, aftercare and risks

Who is Chemical Peels not suitable for?

Suitability is decided at consultation, not online. Chemical Peels is generally not appropriate in the following situations:

Recent isotretinoin use, depending on the interval since stopping
Sunburnt, broken or actively inflamed skin
Anyone unable to commit to strict daily sun protection afterwards
Pregnancy or breastfeeding
An active skin infection, inflammation or cold sore in the treatment area
A known allergy to the product or any of its components
Certain autoimmune or bleeding disorders, depending on the individual case
Unrealistic expectations of what a non-surgical treatment can achieve

How to prepare

Stop retinoids, acids and exfoliants for the period advised before treatment
Avoid deliberate sun exposure and use daily SPF in the run-up
Tell the clinic if you are prone to cold sores or pigmentation
Reschedule if the skin is broken, sunburnt or actively infected

Aftercare

Use only the aftercare products advised until the skin has settled
Do not pick or peel flaking skin
Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas and steam rooms while the skin is sensitive
Use high-factor sun protection daily and reapply - essential in the UAE and critical for preventing pigmentation rebound

Risks and side effects

Every medical treatment carries risk. These are discussed fully at consultation so you can give informed consent.
