Why PCA SKIN Peels?
We offer bespoke PCA SKIN peel treatments tailored to your unique skin needs, regardless of your skin type and Fitzpatrick level. Here are some key benefits:
PCA SKIN offers a peel suitable for sensitive skin, providing gentle yet effective medical-grade exfoliation without expected peeling or downtime. These peels detoxify pores and promote skin renewal, resulting in a smoother, brighter complexion.
PCA SKIN peels effectively improve hyperpigmentation, melasma, acne scars, and sun damage on all skin types. You can see up to a 17% improvement after just one treatment, with noticeable results as early as 7 days post-treatment.
For those struggling with acne and breakouts, PCA SKIN peels help reduce sebum production, minimise pore size, and prevent hormonal breakouts. These treatments clear up blackheads and other blemishes, leaving the skin clearer and more balanced.
The peels address signs of ageing such as fine lines and wrinkles. By promoting collagen production and improving skin texture, they help you achieve a more youthful, revitalised appearance. Key ingredients like Resveratrol, an antioxidant that reduces inflammation and stimulates collagen production, and Grapefruit extract, an antioxidant that protects epidermal stem cells from damage, enhance the anti-ageing effects of our treatments.

Both laser treatments and chemical peels can be effective for melasma. PCA SKIN® chemical peels, specifically formulated for hyperpigmentation, can provide significant improvement by exfoliating the skin and promoting cell turnover.
