Cold Peel: What to Know Before You Book
A gentle, superficial chemical peel formulated to work with minimal heat or stinging, using mild acids to lift dull surface cells for a fresher, brighter complexion.
Who it’s for
People with sensitive or reactive skin, pigment-prone skin, or anyone new to peels who wants a gentle introduction without the irritation of stronger options. When you are ready, see cold peel in the Maldives at our Hulhumalé clinic.
What to expect at your visit
A comfortable session with mild tingling at most, minimal to no visible peeling, and little to no downtime, so it fits around daily life.
What results look like over time
A course of several sessions spaced a couple of weeks apart builds a brighter, more even tone gradually, with maintenance afterwards.
Downtime & aftercare
Skip strong actives for a few days afterwards, keep to a simple gentle routine, and use daily sunscreen to protect and extend results.
How to prepare for your visit
No special preparation is needed, though arriving with clean skin free of make-up helps the peel work evenly.
Often paired with
Often used as a gentle starting point before considering stronger peels or laser, or alongside a simple daily skincare routine.
Who might want to wait
If you need deeper resurfacing for significant texture or scarring, a stronger peel or other treatment will do more – we will advise honestly at your consultation.
“Will it sting or burn like other peels?”
No – a cold peel is specifically formulated to minimise heat and stinging, which is what makes it suitable for sensitive skin.
Guide FAQ
Will my skin peel and flake?
Usually only mildly, if at all. That gentleness is the point, though it means results build gradually rather than dramatically.
How many sessions will I need?
A course of several sessions a couple of weeks apart is typical, with maintenance afterwards depending on your skin and goals.
Is it suitable for pigment-prone skin?
Yes, its gentleness makes it a sensible choice for skin that can react or darken after harsher procedures.
Can it help with early pigmentation?
It can complement a plan for mild early pigmentation, though stubborn melasma needs a broader strategy than a peel alone.
