Who this page is for
Peels range from lunchtime brighteners to serious resurfacing — and choosing the wrong strength for your skin causes the problems people fear. The assessment, not the acid, is where a good result starts.
Recurring breakouts and congestion
Salicylic-based peels reach into oily pores — often a workhorse in a medical acne plan.
Dull, rough or uneven skin
Controlled exfoliation renews the surface when skincare alone has plateaued.
Superficial pigmentation and marks
Brightening peel programmes for post-acne marks and mild sun damage — with honest advice when pigment needs laser instead.
Wary of overdoing it
You have read peel horror stories and want strength and depth chosen by a doctor who has actually examined your skin.
— What this involves
What a chemical peel involves
A chemical peel applies a controlled acid solution — glycolic, salicylic, lactic, TCA, or a medical blend — to remove damaged surface layers and trigger renewal underneath. Depth is everything: superficial peels brighten with little downtime, while deeper peels remodel more but demand real recovery time.
The peel type is matched to the problem: salicylic acid penetrates oily pores for acne; glycolic and lactic acids renew surface texture and glow; TCA reaches deeper for etched-in damage. Your doctor examines your skin, medications and history first — some skin should not be peeled aggressively, and you will be told if yours is in that category.
A session takes 20–40 minutes: cleansing, application, a monitored development period, then neutralising and barrier care. Superficial peels cause brief tingling and mild redness with light flaking over a few days; deeper peels involve more visible peeling that your doctor will walk you through honestly.
What determines the price? The peel type, the number of sessions in your programme, and whether peels are combined with other treatments. You receive clear guidance and a personalised, written quote after your skin is assessed at our Tanjong Pagar or East Coast clinic.

Common questions
Superficial peel programmes typically involve a series of sessions spaced two to four weeks apart, with gradual improvement over the course. The exact number depends on your concern and how your skin responds. Your doctor will set out a realistic programme at consultation — and adjust it based on how your skin actually behaves.
We do not publish prices because the peel type and programme length drive the quote. You will receive a personalised, written quote after your skin is assessed, with no obligation to proceed.
With superficial peels, often just light flaking for a few days — many patients have none at all. Deeper peels cause more visible peeling over about a week. Your doctor will tell you exactly what to expect for the specific peel in your plan, so downtime never takes you by surprise.
Yes, when the peel type and strength are chosen correctly — Asian skin has a higher risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation if peeled too aggressively, which is exactly why depth selection and sun protection are medical decisions here. Your doctor will start conservatively and build only as your skin proves tolerant.
