Chemical Peels

Medical-strength chemical exfoliation to address sun damage, uneven tone, and dullness — formulated for high-UV environments.

A chemical peel involves precise application of an acidic solution to the skin, causing controlled exfoliation of the outer damaged layers. Depth of exfoliation — superficial, medium, or deep — is determined by acid type and concentration, selected by your dermatologist based on your skin tone, concern, and history. Peels used at Kaya are formulated for darker phototypes, reducing risk in the GCC context.

Benefits
Addresses hyperpigmentation
TCA and glycolic acid peels break up melanin clusters, visibly evening skin tone over a treatment series.
Treats acne-prone skin
Salicylic acid peels unclog pores, reduce active breakouts, and improve post-acne marks.
Stimulates cell renewal
Controlled exfoliation accelerates the skin's natural turnover cycle, revealing smoother, fresher skin with each session.
Formulated for GCC skin
Peel selection accounts for darker phototypes (III–VI) to reduce the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
How it works

Acids break the bonds between dead skin cells, facilitating shedding and accelerating cell turnover. In deeper peels, collagen synthesis is also stimulated. Glycolic acid targets the epidermis; TCA reaches the superficial dermis; the physician selects depth and acid type based on your assessment findings.
