About Castlefield Clinic
A Happy Story Creating happiness! That is what our Founders Dr and Mrs
Agarwal lived their lives by, and when in 1992, they decided to
create a cosmetic surgery clinic in Manchester called Castlefield
Clinic that seemed as good a way as any to shape our very
character.
A Happy Goal Our goal is simple and has remained the same from those very
first days in 1992… to make you happy!
Skin Peels A chemical skin peel is a popular procedure used to treat various
skin problems and conditions from acne, age spots, wrinkles. A
caustic acid or substance is applied to your skin by our Surgeon
to gently remove some of the outer layers of the skin (epidermis)
and allow fresher skin cells to grow, to leave you with softer
feeling and glowing skin.
Types of Peels There are many types and varieties of these chemical peels.
They are usually grouped and defined by their relative strength
and depth of the peel that is achieved.
There are three groups of peel, the light peels (glycolic acid),
medium peels (TCA), and deeper peels (Phenol).
Light Peels The sugar and citric acids (salicylic, glycolic, etc...) are lighter
peels and don't require you to have much downtime.
These lighter peels can even be done as 'lunch time' peels. They
are effective if you have light skin pigmentation problems, oily
skin (a prime contributor to pimples and acne), sun spots, and
other minor skin problems.
TCA Peels TCA peels are medium strength peels. TCA stands for
tri-chloroacetic acid and is a more effective and longer lasting
peel than the sugar and citric peels.
Phenol Peels Phenol peels are the strongest chemical peels you can have.
They commonly give a permanent bleaching effect, which can
result in a pale, fake look.
Phenol peels can affect your heart rate and function, so a phenol
peel is always done in a doctor’s care and with anesthesia as it is
the deepest and strongest of the peels. It is usually, a last resort
peel due to its harshness and bleaching properties.
There are other derivatives of these types of peels, but these are
the various chemical skin peels available to you.
We Recommend The TCA peels are the most effective and most regarded of the
peels.
They are also the best buy - 1 TCA peel equals more than 4 or 5
glycolic peels, so it works out to be much more cost effective,
which giving you really great results, which can last up to a year.
