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.

  1. The Radiance Whitening Peel contains AHAs (such as citric and lactic acid) which help to chemically exfoliate dead skin cells, and BHA salicylic acid which helps to improve acne. It also contains whitening compounds such as kojic acid and hydroquinone to improve skin tone, increase skin radiance and reduce the appearance of pigmentation. Resorcinol is anti-bacterial and also helps to improve blackheads and whiteheads.
  2. Acne Peel consists of 15% trichloroacetic acid (TCA) which helps to improve acne.
  3. Brightening Peel consists of 30% citric acid and we use it as part of a 4-step facial therapy for glowing, radiant skin after.

Achieve Glowing, Clear Skin with a Professional Chemical Peel Treatment

A chemical peel is a non-invasive, skin-resurfacing treatment that uses a chemical solution to exfoliate the skin, remove dead skin cells, and reveal a brighter, smoother complexion. This treatment is ideal for addressing common skin concerns such as acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone. By promoting cell turnover and stimulating collagen production, chemical peels help improve the texture, tone, and overall health of your skin.

At Nexus Aesthetic Clinic, we offer medical-grade chemical peel solutions that are tailored to suit your specific skin type and concerns. Dr. Samantha Tay uses the latest techniques and highest-quality ingredients to deliver safe, effective, and long-lasting results. Whether you’re seeking to reduce the appearance of acne scars or brighten your skin, a chemical peel can be the solution you’ve been looking for.

How Does a Chemical Peel Work for Acne Scars?

If you’re looking to treat acne scars, a chemical peel can be a highly effective solution. Chemical peels for acne scars work by removing the top layer of damaged skin and stimulating collagen production, which helps improve the texture of your skin. The chemical solution applied during the treatment exfoliates the skin, allowing fresh skin cells to regenerate. This process reduces the appearance of scars, smooths the skin’s texture, and improves overall skin clarity.

A chemical face peel for acne scars helps to break down scar tissue and promote the production of new skin, improving the skin’s texture and tone. By increasing cell turnover, chemical peels also prevent future breakouts, ensuring a clear, even complexion.

Benefits of Chemical Peels

The benefits of chemical peel treatments are numerous, and they can significantly improve your skin’s appearance. Here are some of the main benefits:

  • Exfoliation: Removes dead skin cells, revealing fresher, more radiant skin underneath.
  • Acne Scar Treatment: Helps to reduce the appearance of acne scars by stimulating collagen and encouraging skin regeneration.
  • Pigmentation Reduction: Effective in lightening hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and dark patches.
  • Smoother Skin: Helps to even out skin texture, reducing the appearance of fine lines and imperfections.
  • Brighter Complexion: Promotes a healthy glow and improves skin radiance.
  • Collagen Stimulation: Encourages the production of collagen, which helps tighten and firm the skin.

Aftercare for Your Chemical Peel Treatment

After your chemical peel, it’s important to follow the recommended aftercare steps to ensure the best results:

  • Protect from Sun Exposure: Your skin will be more sensitive after the peel, so it’s essential to apply sunscreen daily with SPF 30 or higher. Avoid direct sun exposure to prevent pigmentation.
  • Hydrate and Moisturise: Keep your skin hydrated with a gentle moisturiser to promote healing and reduce dryness.
  • Avoid Scrubbing or Picking: Resist the urge to scrub or pick at the peeling skin. Let your skin exfoliate naturally to prevent irritation and scarring.
  • Follow Dr. Tay’s Instructions: Dr. Tay will provide personalised post-treatment care instructions to ensure optimal recovery and results.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 The number of chemical peel treatments you need depends on your skin type, the severity of your concerns, and the type of peel used. For mild concerns like pigmentation or surface texture, you may see noticeable results after 1-2 treatments. For more significant issues like deep acne scars or fine lines, a series of 3-5 treatments is typically recommended. The results are gradual, with improvements building over each session. Dr. Samantha Tay will assess your skin and recommend a treatment plan to help you achieve the best results, tailored to your specific needs.

 It is advised to avoid wearing makeup for at least 24 hours after your chemical peel treatment. During this time, your skin is more sensitive and needs to breathe to support the healing process. After the initial 24 hours, you can apply makeup, but we recommend using gentle, non-comedogenic products to avoid irritation. It’s also important to use makeup removers that won’t strip your skin’s natural barrier. Always make sure to moisturise and apply sunscreen before makeup to protect your newly rejuvenated skin.

 After your chemical peel, you may experience some redness and irritation, especially for deeper peels. The redness usually fades within a few hours to a day, while peeling can begin around day 2 and last for up to 7 days. This is a normal part of the exfoliation process as your skin sheds dead cells and reveals fresh skin underneath. Peeling may be mild for superficial peels, while deeper peels might cause more noticeable flaking. It’s important to avoid picking at the skin during this time to prevent irritation or scarring and to follow the aftercare instructions provided by Dr. Tay.

 Downtime after a chemical peel is generally minimal, especially for superficial peels. Most patients can resume normal activities the day after their treatment, though you might experience some redness or mild irritation for a short period. For deeper peels, there may be more noticeable peeling, and it’s recommended to take a few days off from activities that involve sweating, such as exercise. You should avoid direct sun exposure during the peeling process and wear sunscreen daily to protect your sensitive skin. Dr. Tay will give you specific aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.

 Chemical peels are versatile and can be tailored to suit a wide range of skin types, including oily, dry, or sensitive skin. However, people with very sensitive skin or certain skin conditions like active rosacea or eczema may need to opt for a gentler peel to avoid irritation. Dr. Tay will assess your skin during your consultation to determine the best type of chemical peel for your skin’s needs. For those with darker skin tones, the risk of hyperpigmentation can be slightly higher, so it’s important to use a peel that addresses this concern. Rest assured, at Nexus Aesthetic Clinic, your treatment will be customised for your skin to ensure the best and safest results.

You may start noticing subtle improvements in your skin within a few days after your chemical peel treatment, especially if you’re addressing surface-level concerns like pigmentation or dullness. For more significant changes, such as improvements in acne scars or fine lines, visible results will become apparent within 2-4 weeks as the skin continues to regenerate. As your skin heals, you’ll notice smoother texture, a more even skin tone, and reduced scarring. For optimal results, multiple treatments might be necessary depending on the depth of the peel. Dr. Tay will guide you on the right number of sessions to achieve your desired results.

Yes, chemical peels can be effectively combined with other treatments, such as facials, laser therapies, or microneedling, for enhanced results. Combining treatments can target various skin concerns simultaneously, such as deep acne scars, wrinkles, and pigmentation. Dr. Samantha Tay will assess your skin during your consultation and recommend a combination of treatments that best suit your goals and skin type. For example, a chemical peel followed by a hydrating facial can help rejuvenate the skin, while combining it with microneedling can improve deeper scars. Always discuss your treatment plan with your practitioner to ensure the best and safest outcomes.

During a chemical peel, most patients experience a mild tingling or stinging sensation as the peel solution is applied to the skin. This is a normal reaction and typically lasts for just a few minutes. Depending on the depth of the peel, some patients may feel a slight burning or warmth, but this should subside once the solution is removed. Deeper peels might cause more discomfort, but local anaesthesia or numbing creams can be applied to make the procedure more comfortable. After the peel, your skin may feel sensitive or tight for a few hours, but any discomfort usually fades quickly. Dr. Tay ensures that you’re comfortable throughout the process.

Yes, chemical peels are highly effective in treating hyperpigmentation and dark spots, especially those caused by acne or sun damage. The exfoliating action of a chemical peel helps to remove the top layers of pigmented skin, allowing fresher, more even-toned skin to surface. Over time, as the skin continues to regenerate, hyperpigmentation and dark spots gradually fade, leaving you with a more uniform complexion. For the best results, multiple treatments may be needed, and Dr. Tay can recommend a customised chemical peel treatment based on the severity of your pigmentation issues.

The duration of a chemical peel treatment typically ranges from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the type of peel and the areas being treated. The actual application of the peel solution usually takes around 10 to 15 minutes, followed by a brief wait time as the solution works on the skin. Afterward, the peel is removed, and soothing creams or moisturisers are applied to calm the skin. If you’re having a deeper peel or a combination treatment, the process may take longer. Dr. Tay will ensure that your treatment is performed efficiently while prioritising your comfort.

Yes, it is possible to undergo a chemical peel for acne scars if you have sensitive skin, but it requires a tailored approach. Dr. Tay will assess your skin’s sensitivity and recommend a gentler peel with lower acid concentrations to minimise irritation. For sensitive skin types, superficial peels or milder treatments like the Brightening Peel may be recommended. These peels exfoliate the skin without causing significant irritation, offering a safer option for those with more delicate skin. Proper post-treatment care is essential for sensitive skin, and Dr. Tay will guide you through the healing process.



Preparing your skin before a chemical peel involves avoiding certain products that can increase skin sensitivity, such as exfoliating acids, retinoids, or scrubs, for about a week prior to your treatment. Dr. Tay may recommend that you stop using these products and focus on gentle skincare to ensure your skin is in the best possible condition. Additionally, it’s important to avoid excessive sun exposure for at least a few days before the treatment to minimise the risk of irritation. During your consultation, Dr. Tay will provide personalised recommendations based on your skin type and the type of peel you’re having.

 In most cases, you can return to work or resume daily activities immediately after a chemical peel, especially if you’ve had a mild superficial peel. However, if you’ve had a deeper peel, you might experience some redness or swelling that could make you feel more self-conscious, so it may be preferable to take a day off. It’s important to follow post-peel instructions, such as applying sunscreen and avoiding sweating or harsh products, to ensure the best healing environment for your skin. Dr. Tay will discuss your specific recovery needs based on the type of peel you’ve received.

Yes, chemical peels can be effective in reducing the appearance of large pores. By exfoliating the skin and clearing out pores, chemical peels help to remove dead skin cells, excess oil, and impurities that can contribute to enlarged pores. Additionally, chemical peel treatments encourage collagen production, which helps to tighten and firm the skin, making pores appear smaller and less noticeable over time. For best results, regular treatments combined with a tailored skincare routine will help maintain smooth, refined skin.

Yes, chemical peels can be combined with other treatments, such as laser therapy, microdermabrasion, or hydrating facials, to target a range of skin concerns. Combining treatments can help you achieve more comprehensive results, especially when addressing multiple skin issues like acne scars, pigmentation, and fine lines. Dr. Tay will assess your skin and suggest the best combination of treatments to achieve your skincare goals safely and effectively. Each treatment is carefully selected to complement the others, ensuring a balanced and effective approach to your skin care.
