By using a controlled product the top layers of the skin can be removed, improving the appearance of skin that is dull, tired and lacking in good quality as well as being affected by age spots, sun damage, acne scarring and wrinkles.

Mr. Marando will use a pre-treatment consultation to assess your individual condition, enabling him to tailor a personal treatment plan that is best suited to your skin type.

The solution used in a chemical peel is an enriching product that not only removes unhealthy skin cells and stimulates regrowth of healthy ones, producing a fresh glow to the face and / or neck, but adds vital nourishment to the new skin.

The type of chemical peel that Mr. Marando uses at Star Clinic is dependent on your individual skin type and problem and can vary in strength to accommodate the depth of skin tissues it needs to reach. These are:

• Superficial – this peel uses Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) or Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA)at 10 – 20%. The solution is applied to the face and left on for a few minutes, removing the top layer of the skin (known as the epidermis). The skin may feel tight for a couple of hours afterwards and repeated treatments can ensure long term results.
• Medium peels – uses Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) at 35%. After a few minutes of the solution being applied to the face, the middle and top layers of skin will be removed. It will take a few hours for any sensitivity to subside and the face may be red for a few days, with several weeks before the skin returns to normal. Treatment may need repeating in 6 – 12 months.

The results from having a chemical peel can depend on the type of peel you have had. You may see an almost instant difference to your complexion or you may find 1 – 2 days will see the outcome fully develop. It is possible that the peel can be adapted to ensure the solution used is the best formula for your skin, ensuring the treatment produces results that are totally bespoke to you.

Chemical peels are an excellent treatment to revitalise the skin, and many people use them as part of a regular regime, in order to maintain good skin health.

Mr. Marando prides himself on patient satisfaction and your happiness is important to him. He will ensure the results you receive fulfil your expectations and he is always available to discuss any further concerns or answer any questions you may have, after the treatment.

The outcome of a chemical peel can help restore any lost confidence, or simply add a boost, by uncovering your hidden radiance within.
