Chemical Skin Peel
Hyperpigmentation—characterized by dark spots, uneven skin tone, and discoloration—can affect anyone, often leading to a loss of confidence. Fortunately, there’s a proven solution that can restore your skin’s natural radiance: a chemical skin peel. At Glojas Specialist, we offer advanced chemical peels specifically designed to target hyperpigmentation, helping you achieve smoother, clearer, and more even-toned skin.
Hyperpigmentation occurs when certain areas of the skin produce more melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color, leading to darker patches. Common causes include sun exposure, hormonal changes, acne scarring, and aging. While hyperpigmentation is generally harmless, it can be a cosmetic concern for many individuals seeking a flawless complexion.
A chemical skin peel involves applying a specially formulated acidic solution to the skin, which exfoliates the top layers and encourages the regeneration of new, healthy skin cells. This process helps to fade dark spots and reduce uneven pigmentation, resulting in a more uniform and brighter skin tone. By removing damaged skin layers, chemical peels effectively diminish the appearance of hyperpigmentation, revealing the fresh, radiant skin beneath.
At Glojas Specialist, we offer various types of chemical peels, each tailored to the severity of hyperpigmentation and your specific skin type. Our specialists will assess your skin and recommend the most suitable peel for your needs.
Superficial peels are the mildest type of chemical peel, using gentle acids like alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) to exfoliate the outermost layer of skin. These peels are ideal for treating mild hyperpigmentation, such as light sunspots and post-inflammatory marks from acne. Superficial peels offer minimal downtime and are perfect for those seeking gradual improvement in skin tone.
Medium peels penetrate deeper into the skin, using stronger acids like trichloroacetic acid (TCA) to target more pronounced hyperpigmentation. These peels are effective for treating sun damage, age spots, and moderate discoloration. With a medium peel, you can expect more significant peeling and a longer recovery time, but the results are more dramatic and longer-lasting.
Deep peels are the most intensive type of chemical peel, using potent acids like phenol to deeply exfoliate the skin. This type of peel is recommended for severe hyperpigmentation, such as deep age spots or extensive sun damage. Deep peels offer the most transformative results, but they also require a longer recovery period and should only be performed by highly experienced professionals.
Chemical peels effectively target and reduce areas of hyperpigmentation by removing the outer layers of discolored skin. This process helps to fade dark spots, melasma, and uneven skin tone, giving your complexion a more uniform and luminous appearance.
In addition to treating hyperpigmentation, chemical peels also stimulate collagen production, which improves skin elasticity and texture. This leads to smoother, firmer skin with fewer fine lines and wrinkles, enhancing your overall complexion.
Chemical peels can be customized to suit your specific skin type and the severity of your hyperpigmentation. Whether you need a light exfoliation or a deeper treatment, our specialists will tailor the peel to ensure optimal results with minimal side effects.
Most chemical peels are quick procedures that can be completed in under an hour, making them a convenient option for those with busy schedules. While deeper peels may require some downtime, superficial and medium peels generally allow you to return to your normal activities quickly.
Consultation and Skin Assessment
Before your chemical peel, you’ll have a consultation with one of our skincare specialists. During this session, we’ll assess your skin, discuss your goals, and determine the best type of peel for your needs. We’ll also provide pre-treatment instructions to ensure your skin is well-prepared for the procedure.
Application of the Peel
During the treatment, the chemical solution is carefully applied to the skin. You may feel a mild tingling or warming sensation as the peel works to exfoliate the top layers of your skin. The duration of the peel depends on its strength and your skin’s response.
Post-Peel Care and Recovery
After the peel, your skin may appear red or feel sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn. Depending on the depth of the peel, you may experience peeling or flaking over the next few days as the old skin sheds to reveal the new, brighter skin underneath. It’s essential to follow the post-peel care instructions provided by your specialist, including avoiding sun exposure and using gentle skincare products to protect your healing skin.
When considering a chemical skin peel treatment, it’s important to take precautions for safety and effectiveness. You may experience a burning sensation during application, managed with cooling devices and cold compresses. The peel’s strength should be carefully adjusted based on your skin type and goals to avoid over-exfoliation. Monitor your skin for expected reactions like redness or irritation, and protect it from sun exposure with SPF. Follow post-treatment care instructions closely for optimal healing. Consulting with a dermatologist ensures a personalized approach to achieve desired skin improvements safely.
Skin peel treatments generally have mild side effects. Commonly, patients may experience redness and scaling of the skin, which typically resolve within 3-7 days. These side effects are part of the natural exfoliation process and are temporary.
The expected downtime for a skin peel treatment involves temporary side effects such as redness and scaling, typically resolving within 3-7 days. Most individuals are recommended a cycle of 2-4 peels, depending on their skin condition and desired results, with each session spaced 4 weeks apart. During this period, it’s important to minimize sun exposure, apply sunscreen with at least SPF 30, and use a moisturizer twice daily. Consult your doctor to determine the optimal number of sessions for your specific needs.
For a medical-grade chemical skin peel performed by doctors or physicians, the cost generally ranges from RM 450 to RM 2, 000 per session. The price can vary depending on the depth of the peel, with light, medium, and deep peels having different costs.
A skin peel treatment involves the application of an acid solution to remove the damaged outer layers of the skin. At Glojas Clinic, the cost for a full-face skin peel is approximately RM 500 per session, while treatments for other parts of the body start from RM 800. Due to the potential risks of scarring, pigment changes, and sun sensitivity, it is essential to have this procedure administered by expert and trained doctors to ensure safety and effectiveness.
How many sessions are required to see results?
The number of sessions needed depends on the severity of your hyperpigmentation and the type of peel used. Some patients see improvement after just one session, while others may require a series of peels for optimal results.
Is a chemical skin peel painful?
You may feel a mild tingling or stinging sensation during the peel, but it is generally well-tolerated. Deeper peels may cause more discomfort, but this is managed with topical anesthetics or pain relievers.
How long does it take to recover from a chemical peel?
Recovery time varies depending on the type of peel. Superficial peels have minimal downtime, while medium and deep peels may require several days to a week of recovery. Your specialist will provide detailed aftercare instructions to help minimize discomfort and promote healing.
Can chemical peels be combined with other treatments?
Yes, chemical peels can be combined with other treatments such as laser therapy or microneedling to enhance results. During your consultation, we’ll discuss the best combination of treatments for your skin concerns.
Will a chemical peel work for all skin types?
Chemical peels can be effective for most skin types, but the type of peel used will be tailored to your skin’s specific needs and sensitivity. Our specialists will assess your skin to determine the most appropriate treatment.
Is there anything I should avoid after a chemical peel?
After a peel, it’s important to avoid direct sun exposure, as your skin will be more sensitive to UV rays. You should also avoid using harsh skincare products, exfoliants, and hot water on your face during the recovery period.
