How the treatment works
A controlled solution is applied to accelerate the shedding of damaged surface cells, prompting fresh skin to replace them. Depth and formulation are matched to your concern, from very superficial salicylic peels for acne to mandelic and glycolic options for pigmentation.
Indian skin needs a measured approach. Overly aggressive peels can trigger post-inflammatory pigmentation, so strength is built gradually across a planned series rather than forced in a single sitting.
What to expect at The Happy Skin Tales
Your first visit is a consultation, not a procedure. Dr. Suparna Das examines the concern, takes a history, and explains what is realistically achievable. Only then is a plan agreed, with the number of sessions and the cost confirmed before anything begins.
Every procedure is performed or directly supervised by the dermatologist. Aftercare instructions are written down, and a follow-up review is built into the plan rather than sold separately.
Frequently asked questions
Superficial peels usually cause light, powdery flaking rather than dramatic sheeting. Medium-depth peels flake more visibly. We will tell you exactly what to expect before you book around any social commitments.
Yes, when the depth and formulation are chosen appropriately. Unsuitable or overly strong peels are the reason some people experience darkening afterwards, which is why dermatologist selection matters.
Yes, with timing. Allow at least 7 to 10 days before a major event so any flaking has resolved and the glow has settled in.
A peel is a medical resurfacing procedure that works below the surface layer. A facial is largely superficial cleansing and massage. They serve different purposes and are often used together in a plan.
