A superficial peel performed entirely in clinic with no take-home cream afterwards — skin renewal with minimal downtime.

Cold Peel
A cold peel uses formulations that act on the superficial layers of the skin in a controlled way, stimulating renewal without the extensive flaking that accompanies deeper peels. Calling it a peel "without cream" means the whole procedure happens in clinic with no take-home peeling cream afterwards.
What it addresses
It is used to improve dull skin, mild unevenness in tone, rough texture, superficial post-acne marks and enlarged pores. The result is cumulative across a series of sessions rather than a complete change from one.
Why "no cream" is an advantage for some
Take-home peeling creams depend on following instructions precisely, and over-application can cause irritation or pigmentation. Keeping the whole procedure in clinic under supervision lowers that risk and makes the outcome more predictable — which suits anyone who wants no downtime and no complicated home regimen.
Before and after
Retinol and strong exfoliants should be stopped a few days beforehand. Afterwards, expect mild redness and tightness for a day or two. Sunscreen is essential in the following days, as the skin is more sensitive to UV.
Skin with deep pigmentation or a tendency to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation needs assessment before choosing the right peel.

FAQ
Will my skin peel after the session?
A cold peel is superficial, so any flaking is very light and usually unnoticeable. That is precisely what distinguishes it from a deep peel.
How many sessions do I need?
Usually 4 to 6 sessions spaced two to three weeks apart, since the result is cumulative. The final number is set after assessing your skin and your goal.
How does it differ from a deep chemical peel?
Depth and downtime. A cold peel works on the superficial layers with almost no downtime, whereas a deep peel reaches further and produces a greater change but with visible flaking and a longer recovery.
Is it suitable for darker skin?
Superficial peels are generally safer for darker skin than deep ones, as the risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation is lower. Prior assessment and careful choice of formulation and strength remain necessary.
