A chemical peel is an application of an acid to the skin to achieve a controlled burn to the top layers of the skin. The type and concentration of acid controls the depth of the burn used to achieve superficial, medium and deep peels. Dr Koh uses Alphahydroxy acids (AHA) which contain glycolic, lactic and fruit acids,

• Minimise fine and coarse skin lines which resulted from sun damage
• Treat acne (pimples) especially those with blackheads and whiteheads
• Remove mild / superficial acne scars
• Remove some pigmentary disorders like Melasma

YYour skin may feel a slight burning sensation for a few minutes when the chemical peel agent is gently applied on your face. For AHA peels, you may develop a transient pink discoloration, which quickly returns to “normal” colour. Occasionally, very slight flaking in a few localized areas is seen for 1-2 days.

Chemical peel is a quick and effective outpatient procedure with no downtime.
