 First: What is Skin Peeling?

Skin peeling is a cosmetic procedure that removes dead skin cells and stimulates cell renewal, leaving the skin smoother and more radiant. Dr. Hadir Magdy offers several types of chemical peels tailored to skin sensitivity and the specific condition being treated.

 1. Superficial Peel

• Ideal for sensitive skin

• Used to improve glow and remove minor spots

• Requires no downtime
  Dr. Hadir Magdy recommends this type for beginners or before special occasions.

 2. Medium Peel

• Penetrates deeper skin layers

• Effective for pigmentation, acne scars, and fine lines

• Requires 5–7 days of recovery
  Dr. Hadir Magdy uses this type for patients with more advanced skin concerns.

 3. Deep Peel

• Treats deep wrinkles and scars

• Performed under strict medical supervision

• Requires a longer recovery period
  Dr. Hadir Magdy notes that this option is suitable only for specific skin types and conditions.

 How to Choose the Right Type?

Dr. Hadir Magdy selects the most suitable peeling type based on:

• Your skin type (oily, dry, combination, or sensitive)

• Skin concerns (pigmentation, acne, wrinkles, dryness)

• Timing (e.g., upcoming events, seasonal considerations)

• Your ability to commit to the required downtime

 Pre- and Post-Peel Tips from Dr. Hadir Magdy:

• Avoid direct sun exposure and always use sunscreen

• Do not use at-home peels one week before treatment

• Follow all post-care instructions to prevent irritation or pigmentation

• Keep your skin well-moisturized with suitable products
