WHAT IS A CHEMICAL PEEL?

Chemical peels are one of the most effective and affordable skincare treatments available today. Understanding how they work helps both clients and professionals make the most of this powerful rejuvenation method. In Malaysia’s warm and humid climate, your skin is often exposed to sun, pollution, and environmental stressors. That makes chemical peels an excellent choice for maintaining smooth, healthy, and glowing skin.

What to Expect

Chemical peels have evolved significantly over the years. Modern treatments are safe, gentle, and come with minimal downtime, so you no longer have to worry about raw or peeling skin. Instead, you can expect a refreshed and radiant complexion after a short recovery period.

Here’s what to expect when you book a chemical peel at ALPS Aesthetic Centre:

  1. Your session begins with a personalized consultation to assess your skin condition and goals.
  2. The treatment involves applying a special blend of advanced ingredients that gently exfoliate dead skin cells and stimulate collagen production for smoother, firmer skin.
  3. Recovery typically lasts 3–5 days, during which you may notice mild redness or flaking—both signs of healthy skin renewal.

Why Choose a Chemical Peel?

Professional chemical peels are supported by research and suitable for a wide range of skin types common in Malaysia. Whether you struggle with acne scars, dullness, hyperpigmentation, or early signs of aging, a chemical peel can help transform your complexion.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How affordable are chemical peels in Malaysia?

At ALPS Aesthetic Centre, chemical peels are designed to be accessible and effective. The overall cost depends on the type of peel, your skin goals, and the number of sessions required. During your consultation, our aesthetic specialists will recommend a suitable treatment plan that fits both your needs and budget.

2. How many sessions will I need to see results?

For mild concerns like dullness or uneven tone, 3–6 sessions spaced about 3–4 weeks apart are common. If you have deeper pigmentation, scars, or more advanced signs of aging, more treatments may be needed.

3. What kind of downtime should I expect?

With light peels, you might experience mild redness, peeling, or flaking for a few days. Medium peels often need more recovery time, up to 5–7 days or more. Deep peels will have longer downtime and require more careful aftercare.

4. Are chemical peels safe for Malaysian skin tones?

Yes—when done properly. Because of the risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation (darkening), it’s important to pick the right peel strength and have it done by experienced practitioners. Peels that are too strong or used improperly carry higher risks for those with medium to darker skin tones.

5. Can I do peels at home?

We are not advise to do peels at home. Using them without supervision increases the risk of burns, pigmentation, or uneven results.

6. What are the most common side effects?

Typical side effects include redness, mild stinging, peeling, sensitivity to sunlight, and temporary darkening or lightening of the skin. More serious risks are rare but may include infection, scarring, or permanent pigment changes if aftercare is not followed properly.

7. How should I care for my skin after a peel?

After a peel: keep your skin moisturised, avoid direct sun exposure, always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+ or higher), avoid harsh skincare products, and follow the clinic’s post-treatment instructions.

8. Who should avoid getting a chemical peel?

Chemical peels may not be suitable for people with active skin infections, eczema, rosacea, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Individuals who have recently used strong acne medications should also consult a specialist before scheduling a peel.
