Everything you need to know about Aqua Peel in Singapore
Looking for a gentle facial treatment to help exfoliate, hydrate and infuse nutrients to the skin? Here's all you need to know about Aqua Peel in Singapore!
What is Aqua Peel and what are the treatment steps to achieve rejuvenated skin?
The Aqua Peel facial treatment is a 15-minute pore-cleaning procedure that literally vacuums out the impurities from your skin – and yes, it does eradicate dead skin cells and blackheads. Designed for all skin types, it is especially suitable for those with a low pain threshold. The Topical Solutions used as part of the Aqua Peel’s infusion step is also well-tolerated by many, including most hypersensitive individuals. It leaves the skin feeling firmer and smoother, with a visibly cleaner, fresher, and more rejuvenated look.
But what exactly is an “aqua peel” and how does it actually work? Well to give you a quick rundown - the Aqua Peel treatment starts with a 3-step skin cleansing and rejuvenating process:
Step 1: Exfoliate
To begin, you will go through a double cleansing process to remove the dead skin cells on the surface of your skin. This is achieved by placing gauze strips that are soaked in toner onto the skin to loosen sebum and dead skin cells.
Aqua Peel uses chemical exfoliates that sink deep into the skin to unstick the cellular glue and remove dead cells. Although some may be unsure of the use of acids in this process, at Radium Medical Aesthetics, we do a thorough check of the sensitivity of your skin before recommending any treatment.
Step 2: Extract
From there, a double-chambered skin vacuum with a rotating nozzle tip is used to push the Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) or Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) solutions - depending on your skin type - into the skin. This step exfoliates the skin and sucks it up, pulling out all the impurities and unwanted filth that have been partying it up in your pores.This includes all those unwanted blackheads and whiteheads that are clogging up your pores. It also exposes the growth of new skin below.
Seeing that we have constant hot and humid weather in Singapore, the Aqua Peel treatment is a good choice, as your skin can tend to get oilier with clogged pores. BHA is better suited for people with oily skin, congested pores and blackheads while AHA helps with redness and breakouts. Enzyme extracts are gentler than acids and can be a great alternative to people with extra sensitive skin.
Step 3: Enhance
The third step in the Aqua Peel treatment uses an anti-aging, skin calming cream to heal and rejuvenate your new skin cells.
Once the skin has been cleansed with this treatment, it is crucial to moisturise the skin. At Radium Medical Aesthetics, we use hydrating chemicals like hyaluronic acid, antioxidants and other nourishing solutions to ensure your skin is left feeling soothed and protected.
What are the benefits of Aqua Peel and how do I know if its right for me?
