Chemical peels in New Cairo
Brighter, smoother, more even skin, without lasers or needles. A chemical peel uses carefully chosen acids to remove dull, damaged surface cells so fresher skin can come through. At NeoDerma Clinic in the Fifth Settlement, every peel is selected by diagnosis, because the right peel for acne marks is not the right peel for melasma, and the wrong choice can irritate the skin.
How chemical peels work
A peel solution is applied to clean skin for a controlled amount of time. It loosens the bonds between dead and damaged cells so they shed, and it signals the skin to renew itself. Depending on the ingredients and strength, a peel can unclog pores, lighten pigment, refine texture and boost glow.
Peels are usually described by depth:
- Superficial peels work on the outermost layer. They usually cause little or no visible peeling and are often done as a series.
- Medium peels reach a little deeper for more noticeable change in pigment, marks and texture, with a few days of peeling.
- Deep peels are much stronger and carry more downtime and risk. They are rarely the right choice for medium and darker skin tones.
Most patients in Egypt do best with superficial and carefully planned medium-strength treatments, because medium and darker skin can react to aggressive peels with new pigmentation.
What peels can help with
- Pigmentation, sun spots and uneven tone
- Melasma, as part of a careful long-term plan
- Dark marks after acne (post-inflammatory pigmentation)
- Active breakouts, blackheads and oily skin
- Enlarged pores
- Dull, tired-looking skin
- Rough texture and fine lines
Our peel systems
Cosmelan and Dermamelan
Professional depigmentation systems designed for stubborn pigmentation and melasma. A mask is usually applied in clinic and left on the skin for a set number of hours at home before being washed off, followed by a home maintenance cream. Expect several days of redness, dryness and peeling as the skin renews and pigment lightens.
Meladeep and Cimel
Further peel systems the doctor may choose for pigmentation, tone and skin renewal, depending on your skin type, sensitivity and how much downtime suits you.
Medical peels for acne, pores and glow
For oily, acne-prone skin and dullness, the doctor may choose peels that unclog pores, control oil and brighten the skin, often as a series of sessions a few weeks apart.
Who is a good candidate?
Peels suit most skin types when they are chosen correctly. They are often a good fit if you want gradual, natural-looking improvement with little or manageable downtime.
Tell the team before booking if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have used isotretinoin (Roaccutane) recently, have active cold sores, eczema, rosacea, sunburn or very sensitive skin, or if you are using retinoids or other strong actives. Some peels will be postponed or adjusted.
Your peel visit
- Assessment. The doctor examines your skin and your history, including sun exposure, products, past treatments and how your skin has reacted before.
- Preparation. For some peels, you will be asked to use a preparation routine at home for a few weeks first, which helps results and lowers the risk of pigmentation.
- The peel. Your skin is cleansed, and the peel is applied and timed. You may feel tingling, warmth or stinging, which usually settles quickly.
- After. Soothing products and sun protection are applied, and you leave with clear aftercare instructions.
Downtime and how many sessions
Downtime depends on the peel depth and your skin. Superficial peels usually mean mild redness or light flaking for a day or two. Depigmentation systems and stronger peels usually mean several days of redness and visible peeling. Many concerns need a series of sessions, usually spaced a few weeks apart, and the number varies with your skin and goals.
Aftercare that protects your results
- Do not pick or peel flaking skin. Let it shed on its own.
- Use a gentle cleanser and the moisturiser you are given.
- Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen every day and avoid direct sun. This is the most important step for preventing rebound pigmentation.
- Avoid saunas, steam, intense exercise and swimming for a few days.
- Pause retinoids, scrubs and strong acids until the doctor says to restart.
