Cosmelan Peel in Dubai:

Cosmelan peel is a medically certified topical depigmentation treatment that targets severe hyperpigmentation with its dual corrective and regulative action. This category of chemical peel is made up of kojic acid, azelaic acid, phytic acid, ascorbic acid, and arbutin that target freckles, age spots, sunspots, melasma, and inflammatory hyperpigmentation to produce a lighter skin tone and even complexion. The peel accelerates the exfoliation of the top skin layer, then reaches into the deep layers to prevent the formation of pigmentation in the future. 

What makes Cosmelan Peel Ideal for UAE skin Concerns:

Cosmelan peel is popular globally due to its outstanding results, and its demand in the UAE is increasing due to high sun exposure and pigmented skin of individuals. Dubai is in the list of the highest UV indexes in the world, which triggers melasma, sunspots, and pigmentation. Normal peels just exfoliate the upper skin layer, but cosmelan peels act on pigment production that is triggered by the UAE sun and provides long-term clearer skin. This non-thermal process is safer for diverse skin types, and it provides 95% outcomes after just one session.
