10 Best Places To Get A Chemical Peel For Clear Skin In Singapore

A chemical peel might sound daunting with its name and all, but it’s actually one of the most effective aesthetic treatments available. The procedure involves the topical application of a chemical solution (hence the name) to improve and smoothen the texture of the skin by removing its damaged outer layers. It is helpful for individuals with facial blemishes, wrinkles and uneven skin pigmentation.

Three basic versions of a chemical peel

There are different versions of a chemical peel that fit depending on your skin's needs.

1. Superficial

This penetrates only the outermost layer of skin to gently exfoliate it. This treatment is used to improve the appearance of mild skin discolouration and rough skin.

2. Medium

This one penetrates the outer and middle layers of skin to get rid of damaged skin cells. This treatment is used to improve age spots, fine lines and wrinkles, freckles and moderate skin discolouration. It can also be used to treat some precancerous skin growths.

3. Deep

Trichloroacetic acid or phenol is applied to deeply penetrate the middle layer of skin to remove damaged skin cells. The treatment removes moderate lines, age spots, freckles and shallow scars. As the patient will see a dramatic improvement in their skin, some moderate downtime might be required.

Additional reminders when getting a chemical peel

While the procedure is simple, always ensure you pick the right clinic and trust your skin in the hands of a reputable doctor as the wrong combination of products (or even leaving the solution on for too long!) might cause chemical burns on your skin.

Another thing to note: your skin will temporarily be more sensitive to the sun after treatment, so be sure to avoid any prolonged sun exposure and slap on even more sunscreen after to make the results last as long as possible!
