Glycolic Acid Peel Treatment in Dubai:
Glycolic acid peel is a moderately strong subcutaneous chemical peel that employs glycolic acid to deliberately exfoliate the skin, loosen dead cells, and create a glowing skin layer. This skin renewal therapy is beneficial for tackling hyperpigmentation, premature aging, fine lines, and dark circles.
How Glycolic acid Renews the skin?
Glycolic acid (family of alpha hydroxy acids)has a very small molecular size that penetrates the outermost layers of the skin and dissolves the damaged cells. Peels cause the ungluing cells to shed at an accelerated rate. Shedding triggers the natural healing response of the skin and produces healthy skin cells to replace the old ones. Deeply, glycolic acid also stimulates collagen production for long-term skin health.
Why is Glycolic Peel highly requested in Dubai?
The intense sun and hot climate of Dubai and excessive exposure can lead to pigmentation, sun spots, and photoaging even after using sunblocks. Glycolic acid peel is an instant vital component to overcoming sun damage and providing an even complexion. This is a perfect lunchtime treatment to replenish your skin after summer or to prepare it for special events, attracting a large audience of teenagers and adults.
Skin Problems that can be conveniently resolved:
- Double-toned skin texture.
- Pigmented and tanned skin.
- Wrinkles, fine lines, and other aging conditions.

How Do Dermatologists Customize Your Peel?
Your glycolic peel treatment at Dynamic Life Clinics starts with a personalized consultation in which the expert will carefully choose the PH of the solution and depth of skin penetration.
Role of PH:
PH is the measurement of acidity in the solution. Low PH means an aggressive peel, and high PH means a milder peel.
Glycolic Peel Concentrations and Depths:
| Type | Concentration | Depth |
| Superficial peel | Almost 20-30% | Penetrates within the outermost layer (epidermis) of skin. |
| Medium peel | Normally 30-50% | Targets the middle layers of skin. |
| Deep peels | Usually 50-70% | Within the deeper layers of the skin. |
Procedure of Glycolic Acid Facial Treatment:
Skin Preparation:
The practitioner will degrease the skin by wiping it with alcohol or an acetone solution and applying a protective cream to sensitive areas.
Application of peel solution:
Mild peeing solution is applied to the skin with the help of a cotton gauze. The expert will let the solution completely dry to prepare the skin.
Application of glycolic acid solution:
Using a brush, the expert will apply glycolic acid solution to the skin. The solution is first applied on less sensitive areas to observe the reaction and then on sensitive areas.
Critical observation:
You will experience a slight burning sensation. Our team will critically observe your skin, and if any excessive burning or frosting occurs, the peel will be removed immediately.
Neutralizer solution spray:
After 5 minutes, a neutralizing solution containing alkali is sprayed into the skin. The solution instantly deactivates the glycolic acid and prevents further exfoliation.
Final rinse
Lastly, the skin is rinsed with cool water to clean the traces of peel and other active ingredients. A soothing moisturizer is applied to protect the new skin.
