What Is The Chemical
Peel Treatment?

It is a cosmetic procedure that uses non-toxic chemical solutions to improve skin conditions. It removes the dead skin cell layer and energises cell renewal leading to a fresher and brighter skin texture.

Chemical peels are very safe procedures with predictable outcomes. They are suitable for any skin type from Type 1-Type VI. However, it is always best to seek a proper consultation and choose a procedure that is likely to work best for the current condition of your skin and health history.

You should not seek chemical peel treatment if you have very dark skin tone, are pregnant, suffer from cold sores, sagging skin, severe wrinkles, are allergic to aspirin or salicylates, have dormant eczema, or are using Retin-A or Accutane.

A personal consultation is the first step for everyone considering a chemical peel treatment. During this consultation, our skin specialist will evaluate your skin type, discuss your specific cosmetic goals, and assess the health of your skin. It would include checking the severity of any sun damage, uneven pigmentation and surface imperfections. For first-timers, we would do a patch test behind your ear or neck to check for any sensitivity.

Our skin naturally sheds dead skin cells every four weeks and replaces them with new healthier cells. However, as we age, this cell turnover slows down considerably. A chemical peel encourages skin cell turnover.

The procedure involves applying the solution to the desired area; this solution exfoliates the skin and speeds up natural skin renewal.
