Treatment for Wrinkles Spinningfields

Fine lines and wrinkles are a common result of the ageing process. The skin naturally contains two products: collagen and elastin. These naturally occurring elements work to keep the skin’s structure firm and full, with the ability to stretch and contract. As we get older the collagen and elastin can start to reduce and the body becomes a little less efficient in continuing their production as quickly as before. This results in the structure of the skin losing elasticity and strength, therefore allowing the muscles to leave a visible permanent mark on the skin itself which from temporary, becomes permanent and visible not only on animation, but also at rest.

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.
