Cold peel
A gentle, low-irritation peel for sensitive or reactive skin, delivering the tone and texture benefits of chemical peeling with next to no downtime.
How it works
A cooled, buffered acid formulation is applied to lift away dull surface cells with less stinging and redness than a standard peel, making it suitable for skin that reacts easily to actives.
Areas we treat
Full face; a common starting point before stepping up to a standard chemical peel, or for sensitive/rosacea-prone skin long-term.
The session and aftercare
15-20 minutes, no real downtime, occasional mild pinkness for a few hours. A course of 4-6 sessions, 1-2 weeks apart, works well for a course of maintenance.
Who it suits
- Sensitive, reactive or rosacea-prone skin
- Wanting peel benefits with minimal irritation
- A gentle way to build up to stronger resurfacing

Frequently asked questions
What is a cold peel?
A cold peel uses a cooled, buffered acid formulation to lift away dull surface cells with far less stinging, heat and redness than a standard chemical peel, making it suitable for sensitive or reactive skin.
How much does a cold peel cost in the Maldives?
Cold peels are priced per session or as a course; we confirm exact pricing after understanding your skin at consultation.
How many cold peel sessions will I need?
A course of 4-6 sessions, 1-2 weeks apart, builds a cumulative improvement in tone and texture.
Does a cold peel hurt?
It is designed to be gentle: most people feel mild tingling rather than stinging, and there is little to no downtime.
Who should choose a cold peel over a standard chemical peel?
Anyone with sensitive, reactive or rosacea-prone skin, or anyone new to peeling who wants to build tolerance before stepping up to a stronger resurfacing peel.
What are the risks of a cold peel?
Risk is low. Occasional mild pinkness for a few hours is the most common effect, with true irritation uncommon given how gentle the formulation is.
When will I see results?
Skin usually looks brighter and feels smoother within a day or two of each session, with tone and texture improving further as the course progresses.
