Chemical Peel Dublin South

As a teenager I grew up in a decade when diet was not a priority, rather a need by my parents to feed a family without fully understanding the simple link between calorie intake combined with processed foods, as a result I gained weight rapidly. I decided at fifteen years of age to loose weight by a combination of calorie counting and exercise however as I am sure some of you know that once you activate the fat cells in your body that is exactly what they do they stay activated, they will shrink with dropping your calorie intake combined with exercise however the fat cells will only shrink to a level regardless how much calorie counting or exercise you do. For the last twelve years I have been gym training with weights including cardio training without having any success in shifting or reducing a belt of fat around my flanks and stomach. I decided three months ago that whatever it took I was going to do whatever I needed to do to remedy the situation. I had been advised that the key to a successful outcome to my issue was research in terms of ensuring that the correct procedure and more importantly the correct surgeon was consulted to advise what procedure was correct for me to ensure maximum result. Now, this is where it becomes interesting and indeed a little concerning regarding not taking the time to spend the money on consulting with more than one surgeon. The first clinic consultation I had with a surgeon was to ascertain if I was a candidate for a tummy tuck ( major surgery) with a long recovery time. I was told by the surgeon that I was indeed a perfect candidate for one however my wife said she was not happy with this advice and we decided to seek a second opinion from another surgeon with an excellent reputation concerning tummy tucks. He said, absolutely not, I did not have enough fat around my flanks or stomach to ensure a successful outcome. I was totally disappointed and feeling frustrated that two surgeons would have two totally opposite views. Back to the drawing board, my wife’s friend who had similar issues was watching my journey unfolding when she suggested Donnybrook Clinic and Dr. Sami Hameid and his P.A., Victoria. She kindly contacted Donnybrook Clinic on my behalf and an appointment was made to meet Dr. Hameid the following day. From the outset of meeting with Dr . Hameid and Victoria I found both of them to be professional, caring and interested in the welfare of me as a patient while ensuring that the correct procedure was discussed in detail and a plan agreed to ensure maximum outcome for me. Dr. Hameid suggested liposuction around my flanks and my stomach combined with the use of an instrument called Morpheus 8 which tightens the skin by stimulating new collagen. I am now one month post-procedure and am delighted with the result, quite simply as far as I am concerned this is down to Dr. Hameid’s skill and experience built up over many years combined with a great team backing him up. I am as a person all about attention to detail, I spot the slightest imperfection in anything that I am involved in. So far I am happy, Dr. Hameid stated to me that medicine is not an exact science and that when I come to my three-month examination that if he need to do a small amount more to improve the outcome he would do so. I, without hesitation, recommend Dr. Hameid and Donnybrook Clinic to anybody who is thinking or contemplating any of the procedures that Donnybrook Clinic offer. My rating, five stars.

I emailed Dr. Kent on Tuesday night explaining I had a milia on my eyelid that I wanted to have removed. First thing Wednesday morning I had an email back offering me a free consultation. I contacted Dr. Kent’s secretary and made an appointment for the following Saturday. Dr. Kent was brilliant. He explained that he could not use laser to remove the milia as it was too close to my eye, and he recommended another treatment which involved micro needles which would apply an electric current. I was very happy to have the treatment as I was very self-conscious and wanted the milia gone. The treatment only took about 15 minutes and I was delighted with the result. It was painful towards the end but nothing unbearable. I would highly recommend Dr. Kent, he was polite, he explained everything to me, answered my questions and put me at ease. The surgery and waiting room were bright and spotlessly clean. I would highly recommend Dr. Kent.

I had a skin review with Sara. She was a minefield of knowledge. She genuinely wanted to help. She was able to give me a treatment plan to help give me my confidence back in my skin. I didn't once feel she was overselling which is a huge thing. She dealt directly with what she knew I needed. She was very efficient to follow up and ensure I knew I had support if I have any questions.

Arrival at the clinic is welcoming and attractive. Sue decided on a facial to suit my needs. My skin is showing signs of stress during an emotional time. She’s a caring and kind person and gave me a range of great treatments. I can’t believe the difference! I’ve been complimented too! Puffiness has gone, brightness has returned and my face feels like silk. Highly recommend.
