New Age Medicine: SpectralPeel

When you consider everything that affects the condition of our skin including inadequate personal hygiene, smoking, the ravages of the sun, stress and the unavoidable aging process; it's actually amazing that it stays as healthy as it does, as long as it does. Finally, the inescapable happens; sun spots, sagging, wrinkles, and all factors that diminish the fresh, young looking skin we once had. Fortunately there are skincare products and treatments that can visibly turn rejuvenate the skin including Dr. Vanessa Phua's SpectralPeel Singapore treatments. SpectralPeel can achieve extraordinary results in as little as a single treatment and can even be done during a lunch hour. SpectraPeel reduces excess sebum, closes open pores, and eliminates unhealthy skin cells and more, with the end result being younger, smoother looking skin.

How Does It work?

The SpectraPeel is a laser facial peel that is a 3 phase process that is painless and fast. Treatment involves applying low level heat (laser energy) along with a carbon photo enhancer to achieve younger, more vibrant looking skin. To maximize the results, a sequence of treatments, typically around 6, is recommended to reduce acne pustules, oil production, enlarged pores and improve overall skin tone, generate new collagen and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

The SpectralPeel Singapore treatment starts by applying the photo enhancer to the facial area which is then absorbed into the pores. Following that, the laser's rejuvenating energy is applied to generate heat creating a photo acoustical effect that removes excessive sebum, removes dead skin cells and unclogs pores. In addition, the procedure stimulates the pore's inner wall which encourages collagen remodeling. The 

SpectraPeel also lightens pigmentation and reduces wrinkles and can also treat stage 3 cystic acne without using Accutane.

How many treatments are required?

Typically 6 to 10 treatments are recommended for optimum, long lasting results with treatments for pore size reduction and acne being repeated every 1 to 3 weeks; every 1 or 2 weeks for wrinkle reductions and treating pigmentation issues with maintenance continuing on an "as needed" basis.

Are there any risks?

SpectraPeel Singapore is a safe treatment that is Dr. Phua is highly qualified to perform and, as is always the case, it's important that the procedure is performed by a professional. The SpectraPeel is relatively painless, requires no downtime and is so non-invasive that you won't even need to have topical anesthetics. You may possibly feel some dryness but this can be easily dealt with the proper skincare regimen that should include a good moisturizer. Because SpectraPeel is a powerful resurfacing laser, you'll need to avoid tanning or laying out in the sun for at least 24 hours before and/or after treatment.
