This means more reliable results with far less irritation or downtime than traditional peels. If you prepare your skin with the recommended homecare first, most patients experience minimal downtime - usually just mild dryness, light flaking, or occasional breakouts as congestion clears. You can normally return to normal activities straight away. </p><p> </p><p>For patients who need deeper resurfacing, I also offer carefully selected TCA treatments, but even then the aim is controlled, medically supervised improvement with only mild peeling rather than dramatic shedding. I will always talk you through what to expect for your specific treatment and skin type, and we can plan this carefully within your personalised Radiance Collection journey so results are gradual, safe, and natural-looking.</p>"}
