The Yellow Peel is a kind of chemical peel designed to improve the appearance of the skin by acting on multiple skin issues.
This specialised peel contains a powerful blend of active ingredients including salicylic acid, lactic acid, resorcinol, retinol, vitamin A, vitamin C, phytic acid, and hydroquinone, which work together to gently exfoliate damaged skin layers while stimulating the growth of healthier, renewed skin cells.
This skin rejuvenation treatment helps improve skin texture, enhance collagen production, and promote firmer, smoother, and youthful-looking skin.Unlike some aggressive chemical peels, the Yellow Peel delivers deep exfoliation benefits while reducing common side effects such as prolonged redness or swelling.
Widely recommended by experienced dermatologists and cosmetologists, Yellow Peel treatment can effectively address:
1. Acne and post-acne marks
2. Acne scars and pigmentation
3. Uneven skin tone and dullness
4. Fine lines and early signs of ageing
5. Sun damage and tanning
6. Melasma and stubborn pigmentation issues
7. Enlarged pores and rough skin texture
Yellow peel is an advanced chemical peel for pigmentation and a non-surgical skin brightening treatment. This procedure helps to restore a healthier and more radiant complexion under expert care.
What is the procedure of a Yellow Peel Treatment?
Let us understand how a Yellow Peel is performed by a dermatologist.
Before Treatment
Once the dermatologist recommends a Yellow Peel, they might prescribe you a skincare regimen and some active products to prep your skin for the treatment. It is suggested to follow the skincare routine properly and stop actives at least 3-4 days before the procedure.
It takes 30-60 minutes for a Yellow Peel session. The procedure starts with thoroughly cleansing the skin using a gentle cleanser to remove any impurities and prepare the skin for the peel. Then, they will coat the sensitive areas like the eyes and lips with petroleum jelly to prevent irritation from the peel solution.
During Treatment
After cleansing, the dermatologist applies the Yellow Peel solution to the client’s skin with a brush. Based on individual skin type, pigmentation level, acne concerns, or anti-ageing goals, the peel may remain on the skin for approximately 5-15 minutes.
Patients may experience mild tingling or slight warmth during the application, which is generally temporary and well tolerated. Once the desired result is achieved, the peel is neutralised using a specialised neutralising solution or cold water to soothe the skin.
To ensure maximum comfort and optimal recovery, the team at Dezire Clinic may apply a cooling compress, calming moisturiser, soothing cream, and broad spectrum sunscreen following the procedure.
After TreatmentAfter the Yellow Peel treatment, mild redness, sensitivity, or slight peeling may occur as the skin begins its natural renewal process. Dermatologists at Dezire Clinic typically recommend soothing creams, moisturisers, and broad-spectrum sunscreen to support healing and protect the treated skin from UV damage. Avoid direct sun exposure and follow proper aftercare for the best results.
Pre and Post Care Instructions for Yellow Peel
There are specific before and aftercare instructions for yellow peel treatment. Post and pre care instructions help maximise the benefits of Yellow Peel.
Pre-care Instructions:
1. Avoid direct sunlight 1-2 weeks before treatment. Excessive sun exposure can increase the risk of complications and may affect the peel results.
2. Stop using retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, and exfoliating products 5-7 days prior as advised by your dermatologist.
3. Keeping skin hydrated by using moisturizer helps strengthen the skin barrier before the procedure.
4. Refrain from waxing, threading, or hair removal creams on the treatment area for at least one week.
5. Inform your dermatologist about medications, allergies, or existing medical conditions for safe and personalized treatment planning.
Post-Treatment Care after Yellow Peel
1. Use prescribed soothing creams and moisturizers to support healing and reduce dryness.
2. Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) and avoid direct sun exposure. Reapply sunscreen every 2-3 hours.
3. Do not pick or peel flaking skin, as this may cause irritation, scarring, or infection.
4. Avoid facials, saunas, retinol, AHAs, and other active skincare products until the skin fully heals.
5. Attend follow-up consultations at Dezire Clinic for progress evaluation and future treatment planning.
