Chemical Peeling for the Skin: When Do We Need It? With Dr. Amira Nasser

Dr. Amira Nasser, Dermatology, Aesthetics, and Laser Specialist, and the Founder & Executive Director of Karma Derma Clinic, explains that chemical peeling is one of the most popular non-surgical cosmetic procedures used to enhance skin texture and appearance by removing damaged layers and stimulating cell renewal.

In this article, Dr. Amira Nasser clarifies the types of chemical peels, when they are suitable, and how they are safely and effectively performed.

 What Is Chemical Peeling?

Chemical peeling is a dermatological procedure where a chemical solution is applied to the skin, causing the outer, middle, or deep layers to exfoliate—depending on the type and depth of the peel. After peeling, a new, smoother, and fresher layer of skin grows in its place.

 When Should We Consider Chemical Peeling?

According to Dr. Amira Nasser, chemical peeling is effective in treating:

• Acne scars and surface blemishes

• Hyperpigmentation and dark spots

• Uneven skin tone

• Fine lines and wrinkles

• Dull or tired-looking skin

• Early signs of aging

It is commonly used on the face, neck, hands, and back.

 Types of Chemical Peels

1. Superficial Peel:

Targets only the outer layer of skin for a gentle refresh, with no downtime required.

2. Medium Peel:

Penetrates deeper to treat pigmentation and acne scars, with a few days of recovery.

3. Deep Peel:

Used for advanced wrinkles and severe scarring, requiring strict supervision and a longer recovery.

Dr. Amira Nasser carefully determines the appropriate type based on skin condition and treatment goals.

 Post-Peel Care Tips

After the session, Dr. Amira Nasser advises:

• Avoid direct sun exposure and use high-SPF sunscreen

• Do not manually peel or scratch the skin

• Use only prescribed medical moisturizers

• Avoid makeup until cleared by the doctor

• Stay hydrated to support cell regeneration
