What is a Skin Peel?
Skin peels, also known as chemical peels, are advanced skincare treatments designed to exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin by removing damaged outer layers. These treatments use carefully selected acids—such as glycolic, salicylic, or trichloroacetic acid (TCA)—to target issues like acne, pigmentation, sun damage, and uneven skin tone. By stimulating new skin cell turnover and collagen production, chemical peels help reveal smoother, brighter, and healthier-looking skin.
Superficial Peels (Light Peels)
Ideal for mild pigmentation, dull skin, and fine lines, these peels gently exfoliate the outermost layer using alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) like glycolic or lactic acid. They offer minimal downtime and are suitable for most skin types with visible improvement after just a few sessions.
Medium Peels
Using trichloroacetic acid (TCA), medium peels penetrate deeper into the skin to treat age spots, acne scars, and moderate sun damage. These peels require a short recovery period but deliver noticeably smoother, more even-toned skin after one treatment.
Deep Peels
Phenol based peels or strong TCA peels offer the most dramatic results by treating deep wrinkles, significant sun damage, and severe pigmentation. These require longer downtime and medical supervision but provide long-lasting rejuvenation with just one session.
At Dr. Ali Soueid’s clinics in London, Doha, Beirut, and Dubai, each peel is tailored to your skin type and goals—whether you need a light refresh or a deeper resurfacing solution. With minimal downtime and long-lasting results, skin peels are an effective, non-surgical way to restore your skin’s natural glow and improve overall texture and clarity.
Targets of a
Skin Peel
Mild Skin Concerns
If you struggle with dull skin, fine lines, or mild pigmentation, light chemical peels offer gentle exfoliation and visible skin refreshment with little downtime.
Acne & Uneven Texture
People with acne-prone skin, enlarged pores, or rough texture can benefit from medium-depth peels that clear congestion and improve skin clarity and tone.
Ageing & Sun Damage
Those with deeper wrinkles, sun spots, or long-term skin damage are ideal candidates for stronger peels that stimulate collagen and improve skin elasticity.
Who is a good candidate?

What are the
Benefits of Peels
Improves Skin Tone & Skin Texture
Skin peels exfoliate dead skin cells, revealing a brighter, smoother surface with more even tone. This refreshes the complexion and enhances overall skin clarity and glow.
Reduces Blemishes & Fine Lines
Chemical peels help reduce acne, scars, and visible pores while softening fine lines. They encourage new skin cell growth for a youthful, clearer appearance over time.
Boosts Collagen & Skin Renewal
Deeper peels stimulate collagen production and cell turnover, improving firmness and elasticity. This leads to longer-term skin rejuvenation and improved resistance to ageing signs.

Preparation & Aftercare
Follow these instruction to prepare for your procedure and to have a smooth post-operative recovery.
Preparation
Before your skin peel, ensure your skin is clean, healthy, and well-hydrated. Stop using retinol, acids, or exfoliants 5–7 days before treatment to avoid sensitivity. Let your practitioner know about any recent breakouts, medications, or skin treatments. Use gentle skincare only in the lead-up.
What to Avoid
One week before your peel, avoid direct sun exposure, tanning beds, waxing, or harsh skincare. Do not use products with AHA, BHA, or Vitamin C. Refrain from laser treatments or active facials. These steps help minimise irritation and ensure your skin is ready to heal safely.
Post-Op
After your peel, your skin may feel tight, red, or mildly flaky. Apply a fragrance-free moisturiser and broad-spectrum SPF daily. Avoid makeup, sun exposure, and any active ingredients for several days. Follow all aftercare instructions to support healing and achieve smooth, glowing results.
What to expect
During Your Skin Peel Treatment
Your skin peel session begins with a gentle cleanse to remove oil, makeup, and impurities. The peeling solution—such as glycolic, salicylic, lactic, or TCA—is then carefully applied to the skin. You may feel a mild tingling, warmth, or stinging sensation, which is completely normal and temporary. The solution is left on for a specific amount of time based on your skin type and goals, then neutralised or removed.
After the peel, a calming serum and SPF are applied to soothe and protect your skin. Most treatments are completed within 30–45 minutes, with minimal discomfort and no need for anaesthesia. Depending on the depth of your peel, you may experience redness, dryness, or light peeling over the next few days. Your provider will guide you on how to care for your skin and schedule any follow-up sessions if needed.

FAQ
What is a chemical skin peel?
A skin peel is a non-surgical treatment that uses a chemical solution to remove dead skin cells, revealing fresher, smoother, and clearer skin underneath.

Absolutely. Dr. Ali Soueid’s clinics in London, Doha, Dubai, and Beirut offer tailored chemical peels for all skin types with professional-grade safety and care.

Chemical peels improve acne, pigmentation, dull skin, fine lines, sun damage, and uneven texture. They’re suitable for face, neck, chest, and hands.
Are chemical peels safe for all skin types?
Yes, but peel strength and type should be tailored. Lighter peels suit all skin tones, while deeper peels need expert guidance—especially for darker skin.

Most treatments take 20–40 minutes. You may feel tingling during the process. There is minimal downtime with superficial peels, longer recovery for deep peels.
