Chemical Peel

What is chemical peel?

Being one of the most searched treatment methods on the internet, chemical peeling is a popular treatment for various skin conditions.

Chemical peels are acids that are applied to the skin that causes the skin to peel. This process stimulates the skin cells to regenerate faster, and thus fastening the process of skin healing.

How we do chemical peeling

Chemical peeling is a simple procedure in skin rejuvenation. After Dr Peter or Dr Loo analyze your skin condition and decide to conduct a chemical peeling treatment, an icepick is used to drop acid or medicinal chemicals on the treatment area to promote skin restoration.

We can use chemical peeling to treat multiple skin conditions like wrinkles, pigmentation, age spots, melasma, and acne scars.

What to watch out for

However, although chemical peeling can be used in various situations, there are many advertisements in the market on chemical peels being a “cure-all” wonder.

We should always remember that everyone’s skin is unique. And every skin condition is indeed unique at any given time. So what works for one may not for another.

It is also very dangerous to attempt any chemical peeling on your own. This is because different chemical solutions are used for different skin conditions. And it is also difficult to control the amount of acid and how deep the acid penetrates when done by an untrained hand.

Getting a chemical peel by an untrained or unverified doctor or beautician also brings similar of not more risks, as he or she may not be fully aware of what the chemicals can do to your skin. Any mishaps or misconduct can lead to permanent scarring and worsen the skin condition.

Because no matter the skin condition or treatment, Dr Peter and Dr Loo believes that getting a safe and effective treatment should always be our top priority.

Chemical peeling is a quick and effective method for several skin conditions. Get your skin checked by our verified doctors to see if this is the treatment for you.
