MYTH OR FACT?
"Chemical peels thin your skin."

❌ Myth.

When performed appropriately by a qualified medical professional, chemical peels remove damaged surface skin cells and encourage the skin's natural renewal process. They do not permanently thin the skin.

The appropriate type and strength of chemical peel depend on your skin type and individual concerns. During a consultation, our doctor will assess your skin and recommend whether this treatment is suitable for you.

Can chemical peels help improve the appearance of enlarged pores?

While chemical peels do not permanently reduce pore size, they may help improve the appearance of enlarged pores by exfoliating the skin's surface and improving overall skin texture in suitable individuals.

Depending on your skin concerns, an aesthetic chemical peel may also be considered to address:
• Uneven skin texture
• Dull-looking skin
• Post-acne marks

Enlarged pores aren't caused by just one factor.

While pore size is largely influenced by genetics, factors such as excess oil, acne scarring, reduced collagen and sun damage may make pores appear more noticeable.

MYTH OR FACT? 🤔

"You can permanently shrink your pores."

❌ Myth.

Pore size is largely influenced by genetics and cannot be permanently reduced. However, factors such as excess oil, reduced collagen, acne scarring, and sun damage can make pores appear more noticeable.

Improving overall skin quality and texture may help reduce the appearance of enlarged pores, resulting in smoother-looking skin.

If enlarged pores are a concern for you, speak to our doctor to understand the possible causes and discuss suitable treatment options based on your individual skin condition.

Not all pigmentation is the same—and neither is every treatment plan. ✨

Pico Laser uses ultra-short pulses of laser energy to target unwanted pigment with minimal heat to the surrounding skin. Depending on your skin condition and diagnosis, it may be recommended as part of a treatment plan for selected pigment-related concerns.

Pico Laser may be suitable for concerns such as:
• Freckles
• Sun spots
• Melasma*
• Post-inflammatory pigmentation (acne marks)
• Uneven skin tone

Every individual's skin is unique. Our doctors will assess your skin concerns and medical history before recommending whether Pico Laser or another treatment option is appropriate for you.

Freckles or Melasma? 🤔

Not all pigmentation is the same—and knowing the difference is the first step towards choosing the right treatment.

✨ Freckles
• Small, well-defined spots
• Often influenced by genetics
• May become darker with sun exposure

✨ Melasma
• Larger, patchy areas of pigmentation
• Commonly associated with hormonal changes
• Frequently appears on the cheeks, forehead, nose and upper lip

Although they may look similar, freckles and melasma have different underlying causes and may require different treatment approaches.

At IVI Medical Clinic, our doctors perform a personalised skin assessment to identify the type of pigmentation you have before recommending a suitable treatment plan.

📍Book a consultation to find out what's causing your pigmentation and explore your treatment options.
