Medical chemical peel services in Riyadh are primarily delivered through specialized dermatology departments within large private hospitals and elite aesthetic centers. Unlike spa-based "beauty peels," medical-grade peels involve higher concentrations of active acids (like **30%+ TCA**, **Phenol**, or **Retinoic acid**) and are performed by board-certified dermatologists.
