Cold peel in the Maldives
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
Cold peel Maldives: cost and booking in Hulhumalé
Dr. Alaa Zidan offers a cold peel in the Maldives at Life Care Medical Center in Hulhumalé, a short drive from Malé. The cost depends on the number of sessions in your course and whether it is paired with home skincare, and the full figure is explained at consultation before anything is booked.
Cold peel cost depends mainly on the number of sessions, and it is a good fit for sensitive skin that has reacted to stronger acid peels before. For the step-by-step background before you book, read our cold peel guide, or send Dr. Alaa a photo and your question on WhatsApp.
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.
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.
Common myth
“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.

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.

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.
