SkinLab’s Melasma Peel Facial lasts 90 minutes.

It’s possible for your skin to experience a mild peeling effect, as part of skin’s expedite renewal process. 

Some may have mild redness on part of their face for 1-3 days.

The occurrence depends on strength and type of peel applied, frequency of treatment and your individual skin reaction to the peel. 

However, rest assured that you can continue with your daily activities, following the post-treatment care instructions.

This treatment works for all skin types and is great for anyone looking to brighten and even their skin tone quickly, with gradual lightening of pigmentation.

The type and strength of peel are tailored to address individual skin needs and concerns. We can do a small patch test before the facial to check your skin’s reaction and ensure suitability.

But if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, this treatment isn’t for you.

Severe allergic reaction to this facial is rare. However, if you develop unusual symptoms like severe rash, itch/swell (especially of the face/tongue/throat), dizziness or trouble breathing, seek medical attention immediately.

You can enjoy it once every 3-4 weeks.

During pre-treatment consultation, you’ll need to provide your medical history, especially details related to your skin, including any medications such as isotretinoin or vitamin A creams. 

You may be required to temporarily stop the use of such medication or topicals.

Post-treatment care include:

• Cleanse your skin gently and apply any creams provided.
• Do not pick at scabs, if any.
• Avoid/limit sun exposure.
• Always wear sunscreen.
• Other instructions provided by a professional.

Over-the-counter chemical peels and acids typically available in lower concentrations (e.g. maximum 10% of glycolic acid). They are primarily effective for addressing very mild pigmentations or serving as a gentle exfoliation option for at-home use.

Professional or medical-grade melasma peels are available in relatively higher concentrations reaching up to 30%. They are administered by trained professionals such as aestheticians, cosmeticians, nurses, or doctors. These specialised peels are capable of addressing more serious unwanted pigmentation issues.
