Chemical peels involve the application of chemical agents such as glycolic acid (AHA) or trichloroacetic acid (TCA) to gently remove the outer layer of the skin. This results in regeneration of a new skin layer, revealing skin which looks smoother, lighter and more glowing. Chemical peels are commonly used to: Treat facial wrinkles and fine lines Improve the appearance of acne skin and blemishes Reduce superficial acne scars Even out skin tone Lighten skin pigmentation Our consultant dermatologist will assess your skin type and decide on the type and strength of chemical peel to use. Each procedure lasts approximately 30 minutes to an hour. Post-procedure, there may be some redness and mild flaking of the skin, which should subsequently resolve. Superficial peels may yield almost immediate results while the effects from deeper peels may take up to a week to be seen. For optimal results, continued treatments may be needed at regular intervals.

Laser hair removal involves the use of special lasers to remove excessive or unwanted hair from all parts of the body, including the face, limbs, underarms, bikini line and back. Unlike temporary methods of hair removal such as shaving and waxing, laser hair removal not only gets rid of the hair shafts, it also causes destruction of the hair follicles and its roots. It is important for our consultant dermatologist to assess your skin type before deciding on the appropriate laser to use, in order to achieve the best results and avoid unwanted side effects. This is because different skin types respond differently to different lasers. On average, 5 to 8 treatments may be needed to achieve significant hair reduction. The number of treatments depends on hair thickness, the area treated and the hair’s growth cycle. The effects usually last for up to 2 years. However, subsequent hair growth will be much finer in texture and lighter in colour.
