Considering a Skin Peel? Here’s What You Should Know

 Medical-grade chemical peels are professionally delivered skin treatments designed to support overall skin clarity, texture, and renewal. These peels use carefully selected acids to exfoliate the skin at varying depths and are only provided following a professional consultation to ensure suitability for your skin type and goals.



At Drcosmetist, Dr Sadaf offers individualised skin assessments to determine whether a professional peel may be appropriate as part of your personalised skincare plan.

Types of Professional Skin Peels
The depth and strength of a peel are selected based on skin type, lifestyle, and skin concerns discussed during your consultation:

Superficial Peels – Typically use alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) like glycolic or lactic acid to gently exfoliate the surface of the skin. These may support smoother texture and a refreshed appearance.
Medium-Depth Peels – May include ingredients like trichloroacetic acid (TCA), and are used in selected cases under clinical supervision to target deeper skin layers.
Deep Peels – These are rarely used and only performed under strict medical supervision. They are not routinely offered due to longer downtime and specific risk considerations.
What Can a Professional Peel Support?


Peels can be used to support skin improvement in areas such as:

Dull or uneven skin tone
Rough skin texture
Visible signs of sun exposure
General skin refreshment
Your suitability for a chemical peel is based on factors including skin tone, sensitivity, medical history, and your current skincare routine.

What to Expect From a Peel Appointment

Procedure time: Usually 30–60 minutes
Downtime: Varies depending on the type of peel, from no downtime to several days of visible peeling
Visible results: Typically seen after a few days to a few weeks
Aftercare: Sun protection, hydration, and professionally recommended skincare are essential following a peel


A Personalised Approach is Key

Because every skin is different, a peel should only be offered after thorough assessment. At Drcosmetist, Dr Sadaf draws on her experience as both a GP and cosmetic doctor to develop individualised skincare strategies that consider your long-term skin health, safety, and goals.

Facial open pores ,what are they?

Image
  The term open pores refers to visible openings of hair follicles on the skin’s surface. These pores are normal structures that allow oil (sebum) and sweat to reach the skin. In some individuals, pores may appear larger, especially in certain areas like the nose, cheeks, and forehead. -When do people notice larger pores? People may become aware of larger or more visible pores typically during adolescence and early adulthood, when oil (sebum) production increases due to hormonal changes. However, larger pores can remain a cosmetic concern into middle age, as skin elasticity declines. Both men and women can experience this at various ages, though pore size is generally influenced by genetics, skin type, and hormonal factors. -Why do pores appear larger? Several factors can contribute: Increased sebum (oil) production Loss of skin elasticity (as skin ages, it doesn’t support pores as firmly) Thicker hair follicle openings Buildup of debris and oil in the pore Sun damage, which can w...
