TCA peel to reveal a brighter younger looking skin!

Chemical peels strip away the top layer of dead cells to reveal fresh new skin underneath. 

Sometime ago I underwent a TCA peel 25% at Dr Tham Siew Nee clinic to brighten my overall complexion and to lighten my mild acne scars .  TCA peel is a strong peel , upon application the skin will immediately crust.It’s been quite a painful experience,  Luckily, both the procedure and recovery went fine.
