Chemical peels is a skin resurfacing technique by applying a chemical solution to the skin for various treatment intentions.
We currently offer 3 different types of chemical peels.
These are all medical-grade chemical peels. The Radiance Whitening Peel and the Acne Peel can only be performed by a doctor, while the Brightening Peel can be performed by our therapist.
The first two aforementioned peels are specially formulated in a compounding pharmacy for professional use only, it cannot be purchased over the counter nor at the clinic for home use.
The chemical peels we use contain a higher concentration/strength of acid and must be performed by a trained professional to avoid risks of chemical burns which may cause inflammation and/or scarring. A and B can only be purchased with a prescription and must be done by a doctor only.
Dr Samantha will assess your current skin condition and take into account previous treatments done to determine if you are a suitable candidate for chemical peels. She will also decide on which chemical peel will benefit you most based on your skin concerns, desired results and skin tolerability.
Chemical Peels can be performed on many parts of the body, including the face, neck, decolletage, underarms, arms and legs.
It depends on the depth and type of peel down, and can be customised according to a patient’s wants as well as skin condition and desired results.
Generally, when an appropriate chemical peel is used, the risks of side effects are low.
Side effects of chemical peels include erythema, itch, dryness, uneven skin tone, burns and the risks of side effects tend to be stronger with deeper peels.
We recommend about 5-10 sessions and 4-6weekly maintenance sessions after. It depends on the depth of the peel, but on average an interval of 4 weeks is acceptable for most peels.
Dr Samantha personally likes to combine facial, picolaser and chemical peel for that glowy and radiant complexion.
