Physician-administered AHA, BHA, Jessner’s and TCA peels at Bluewaters Island clinic.
How it works
- Superficial peels (AHA/BHA) — dissolve intercellular bonds in the epidermis; improve glow and texture with minimal recovery
- Medium peels (TCA 15–30%) — penetrate into the upper dermis; effective for pigmentation, acne scars and deeper texture
- PRX-T33 — trichloroacetic acid + hydrogen peroxide formula; stimulates dermis without epidermal ablation; no visible peeling
- ME Line — intense depigmenting peel protocol; multiple applications for melasma and resistant pigmentation

FAQ
Is Chemical Peel in Dubai at MED YU MED available at Med Yu Med Dubai?
Yes. Book a consultation with our DHA-licensed physicians to receive an individualized protocol and safety assessment.
How many sessions may be required?
The number of sessions depends on diagnosis, treatment route, and response. Your doctor will define a personalized plan at consultation.
How do I choose between superficial and medium peel?
The choice depends on your skin concerns, skin type, downtime tolerance and medical history. Superficial peels have minimal downtime (1-3 days of flaking) while medium peels require 5-7 days recovery. Your physician will recommend the appropriate depth after consultation.
Can chemical peels treat melasma?
Superficial and medium peels can help reduce melasma appearance when combined with a pre-peel priming protocol and strict sun protection. Results are not guaranteed and multiple sessions may be needed. Individual response varies significantly.
How often can I have a chemical peel?
Superficial peels can be performed every 2-4 weeks as a course. Medium-depth peels are typically spaced 3-6 months apart. Your physician will recommend a personalised programme based on your skin response.
Is there downtime after a chemical peel?
Superficial peels: 1-3 days of mild redness and flaking. Medium peels (TCA/Jessner’s): 5-7 days of visible peeling. Deep peels: extended recovery of 10-14 days under medical supervision. Sun avoidance is mandatory post-treatment.
