Chemical Peels

Yes. Depending on the type of peel chosen, you’ll notice an initial boost in radiance, smoothness, and oil control within a week of your first session. For deeper concerns like acne scarring, sun damage, and pigmentation, a cumulative series of 4 to 6 sessions delivers significant, long-lasting clinical improvement.

Superficial peels gently target the outermost layer of skin (the epidermis) using mild acids like AHAs or BHAs, making them ideal for quick brightening and acne control with zero downtime. Medium-depth peels penetrate a bit deeper to address structural imperfections, stubborn pigmentation, and fine lines, and may involve a few days of mild, dry flaking.

Yes, though they require precise, expert handling. At AAYNA, we use peeling agents suited to darker skin tones and monitor the application closely to reduce the risk of rebound hyperpigmentation.

These depigmentation treatments work through a two-step process: an intensive mask applied in-clinic, followed by an at-home maintenance cream routine. They work by downregulating the enzyme responsible for excess melanin production, making them a leading option for hormonal melasma.

AAYNA does not use a one-size-fits-all approach. During your initial clinical skin assessment, our dermatologists evaluate your specific concerns, skin sensitivity, and tone, and select a calibrated peeling agent, ranging from superficial fruit-acid peels to deeper targeted solutions, based on this.

This depends on the type and depth of the peel used. Mild or superficial peels typically involve no visible downtime, though you may notice subtle, flaky skin for a few days as dead cells shed naturally. Deeper treatments may result in moderate peeling that typically resolves within 3 to 7 days.

With superficial peels, there is minimal downtime, generally just a temporary flush that resolves within hours. For medium-depth peels or pigmentation masks, mild dryness or flaking for 3 to 5 days is common. We advise avoiding direct sun exposure, skipping active skincare like retinols or acids for a few days, and wearing a high-SPF sunscreen daily.

The investment varies depending on the specific formulation required—standard botanical peels versus intensive medical masks like Dermamelan—and the total number of sessions recommended. A transparent, fully customized estimate will be detailed for you during your clinical consultation.

For optimal and cumulative results, a series of 4 to 6 sessions spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart is generally recommended. Post-treatment care is simple but vital: keep your skin well-hydrated, strictly avoid picking or peeling any flaking skin, and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to protect your newly revealed, radiant skin layer.
