Acne Peel — Course of 4

Service Description

WHAT IT IS Four acne peel sessions — salicylic or Jessner, selected and adjusted to your skin — booked and paid as a course, spaced two to four weeks apart. WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE IT Four sessions is the protocol that acne peels are actually studied and recommended at. It also allows Dr Selvi to increase the strength progressively as your skin builds tolerance, which single ad-hoc sessions never permit. WHAT WE AIM FOR A substantial reduction in active acne, clearer pores and visibly improved post-acne marking by the end of the four sessions. WHO IT SUITS · Committing to treating acne properly · Mild to moderate acne · Recurrent congestion and breakouts · Wanting the recommended protocol at better value TREATMENT DETAILS Sessions: 4, two to four weeks apart Appointment: 20–30 minutes each Discomfort: Stinging for a few minutes Downtime: Light flaking for 2–4 days after each Progression: Strength increased as your skin tolerates Saving: Against four individual sessions FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What if my skin reacts badly to the first one? Dr Selvi will adjust the strength, change the acid, or pause the course. The plan follows your skin's response rather than a fixed schedule. Can I combine it with LED? Yes, and it is a strong pairing — LED calms the inflammation and reduces acne bacteria between peel sessions. The Intensive Acne Programme combines both. Will my acne get worse before it gets better? Sometimes, yes. A short purging phase in the first two to four weeks is common as treatment brings existing congestion to the surface faster. It is expected and temporary — stopping at that point is the most common reason people conclude a treatment 'did not work'. How long before I see real improvement? Acne treatment takes time because the skin cycle takes time. Expect meaningful change at six to eight weeks and a clear result at three months. Anyone promising clearance in a fortnight is selling you something. Does what I eat matter? For some people, yes — particularly high-glycaemic foods and, in some individuals, dairy. The evidence is real but the effect varies considerably between people. Dr Selvi will discuss it as part of your assessment rather than issuing a blanket rule. Will I need to change my skincare? Almost certainly, and this is often the most valuable part of the consultation. Many people with acne are using products that make it worse — heavy moisturisers, harsh scrubs, or over-cleansing that strips and inflames the skin. When would you refer me elsewhere? Severe nodulocystic acne, acne that is scarring, and acne that has not responded to appropriate treatment may need oral prescription therapy under dermatology supervision. Dr Selvi will tell you if that is what you need rather than putting you through a course that will not be enough. Who will treat me? All treatments at Dr Selvi Clinic are carried out by a doctor, following a face-to-face consultation and an assessment of your suitability.
