Breakouts
Spots that keep coming back. The clinical word is acne.
Spots that keep coming back are usually a mix of oil, blocked pores and inflammation, and the fix is a plan over a few months, not one treatment. Most people see a clear change by week six.

What to expect
- How it feels
- A peel is a warm tingle for a few minutes. LED is warm light with nothing touching the skin.
- Downtime
- Light flaking for two to five days after each peel. Most people go straight back to work.
- Risks
- Redness and irritation, a short flare as pores clear, and on darker skin a chance of new marks if the peel is too strong, which is why we patch test and start gently.
- Not for you if
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding, taking strong acne tablets, or under 18. Your nurse checks at the assessment.

Questions about breakouts
Will it make my skin worse first?
Sometimes, for a week or two, as pores clear. We tell you what to expect and check in at week two.
Is it suitable for darker skin?
Usually, with the right peel and a small patch test first. We choose strength and timing for your skin type, and Priya leads on skin of colour.
Do I need to stop my current products?
Bring them to the assessment. Half the time the answer is to keep one and stop three.
