Is your skin looking dull, uneven in texture and tone, has acne marks, or is facing excess pigmentation? Dynamic Life Clinics offers Glycolic acid peel treatment in Dubai for these conditions. Glycolic acid peel is a non-invasive method of skin rejuvenation that helps primarily with hydrating the skin, smoothening the texture and tone, and exfoliating dead skin cells. Our doctor, Dr. Nagham Shmiss, is an expert dermatologist having 5 years of in-clinic experience and thousands of procedures successful.

What is a Glycolic Acid Peel?

Glycolic acid peel is a type of alpha hydroxy acid peel that helps exfoliate the dead skin cells from the outermost layer of the skin. It also hydrates the skin and gives it a smoother, fresher, and cleaner look. Glycolic peel for body acne, face acne, dark spots, and skin pigmentation are common treatment.

Areas that can be treated with Glycolic Acid Peel:

Glycolic acid is primarily applied to the face, but can be applied elsewhere on the body as well if needed, such as a glycolic peel for dark underarms. Areas that can be treated with glycolic acid peel are as follows:

  • Face
  • Neck
  • Chest
  • Arms
  • Hands
  • Feet
  • Back
  • Legs
  • Shoulders

How Does Glycolic Acid Peel Work?

Glycolic acid peel has molecules that are thin in size and concentrated in nature. These characteristics allow the acid to penetrate deep into the skin, treating scars and pigmented skin cells from within the epidermis. It simultaneously peels off the outermost layer of dead skin cells, exposing newer skin cells from underneath.

How Much Does Glycolic Acid Peel Cost in Dubai?

Glycolic acid peel cost in Dubai ranges from 299 AED to 1,499 AED depending on the area that needs to be treated. Here is a breakdown of the cost of glycolic acid peels in Dubai at Dynamic Life Clinics:

Factors affecting the Price of a Glycolic Acid Peel:

There are several factors that play a role in the final price of the treatment being determined. Here is a brief explanation of some of these factors:

Area being treated

The area that is being treated with a glycolic acid peel determines how much of the solution will be needed to treat that area. The more the solution, the more the price.

Brand of peel

Some companies offer clinic discounts and are promoting their brands; therefore, they offer lower prices for their product. Other, well-developed and established brands are more expensive comparatively.

Number of sessions required

Depending on your skin condition, you may need more than one session. Naturally, you will have to pay for each session individually unless your clinic offers discounts for multiple sessions.

Add-on payments

Payments for anesthetic creams, numbing agents, or any additional treatments add up to the cost of the treatment.

Doctor expertise and Clinic reputation

The expertise and recognition of the doctor, and the location and reputation of the clinic may also play a role in determining the final price of the treatment.

Procedure: How is a Glycolic Acid Peel performed?

Glycolic acid peel is a non-invasive procedure for skin rejuvenation that follows a series of steps during the procedure. Here is a brief explanation of what these steps are:

Initial consultation

The doctor will first assess your skin and condition to see how your treatment should ideally proceed with your desired results as the aim.

Cleansing the treatment area

The treatment area is cleaned first to avoid the risk of any microbial infections. This cleansing also helps remove dirt from pores and provides a cleaner surface for the peel to act on, improving the effectiveness of the solution.

Applying the solution

Once the treatment site has been cleaned, the solution is applied by the doctor. The solution will be left to act on your face for roughly 10-15 minutes.

Monitoring the skin

While the solution is left on your face, the doctor will monitor your skin to see that the solution acts properly and no chemical reactions take place. You might feel slight tingling or irritation, which is a common side effect.

Rinsing the solution and soothing cream application

After 10-15 minutes, the solution is washed off using cold water. Once the solution has been washed off completely, your doctor might apply an ointment to help with any discomfort, irritation, or tingling feelings that were caused by the solution.

Discharge and follow-ups

You will be discharged after the session and be allowed to leave. You will be asked to schedule follow-up appointments to monitor the skin and see if you need any more sessions.
