PCA Custom Chemical Peel $125
Reveal Healthier, Brighter Skin with a Customized Professional Chemical Peel
The PCA Skin® Professional Peel is a customized chemical exfoliation treatment designed to improve a wide range of skin concerns, including acne, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, sun damage, fine lines, and rough skin texture. Your esthetician will carefully evaluate your skin and select the most appropriate PCA Skin® peel formulation based on your skin type, concerns, and treatment goals. Depending on your individualized treatment plan, the peel may contain professional exfoliating ingredients such as TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid), Jessner’s Solution, Lactic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Mandelic Acid, or other advanced PCA Skin® formulations. By accelerating the skin’s natural exfoliation process, the treatment removes damaged surface cells, promotes healthy skin renewal, and reveals a smoother, clearer, and more radiant complexion.

How It Works

● Skin texture and smoothness
● Brightness and radiance
● Acne and blemishes
● Hyperpigmentation and sun damage
● Fine lines and uneven skin tone
● Overall skin clarity and health

What to Expect After Your Peel
Every client’s skin responds differently following a PCA Skin® Professional Peel. Visible peeling is not required for the treatment to be effective. Some clients experience noticeable peeling or flaking for several days, while others have little or no visible peeling. Both responses are completely normal and depend on your skin condition, the type and strength of the peel selected, and your skin’s natural healing process.
During the first several days after treatment, it is also normal to experience:
● Dryness or tightness of the skin
● Increased skin sensitivity
● Mild redness
● Itching as the skin renews and heals
● Peeling or flaking (if it occurs)
Even if little or no peeling occurs, your skin is still undergoing cellular renewal beneath the surface.
For the best results, keep your skin well moisturized, avoid picking or pulling peeling skin, use only the recommended skincare products, and apply a
broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) daily to protect your newly renewed skin.

Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)
Q: What can I expect during my PCA peel treatment?
A: Your skin will be cleansed and prepped before the customized PCA solution is applied. You may experience a mild tingling or warm sensation during the peel. Most clients describe it as comfortable. The treatment finishes with soothing and hydrating serums and SPF protection.
Q: How long does the procedure take?
A: The full treatment typically takes about 30–45 minutes, making it a great option for a “lunchtime” rejuvenation.
Q: Will my skin actually peel?
A: Some clients experience visible flaking or light peeling over the next 3–5 days, while others may not peel at all. Even if you don’t see peeling, your skin is still benefiting from the chemical exfoliation and renewal process.
Q: How soon will I see results?
A: You’ll likely notice an improvement in tone and texture within a week. Continued treatments every 4–6 weeks yield the best long-term results.
Q: Can I wear makeup after a peel?
A: It’s best to avoid makeup for at least 24 hours post-treatment to allow the skin to breathe and recover.
Q: Is the peel safe for all skin types?
A: Yes. PCA peels are formulated to be safe for all skin tones, including sensitive and ethnic skin. Your provider will select the right peel for your unique skin concerns and tolerance.

● Gentle Cleanser
● CliniCalm 1% Hydrocortisone Cream
● ReBalance Moisturizer
● Silkcoat® Balm
● Weightless Protection Broad Spectrum SPF 45
These products help soothe, protect, and hydrate skin while supporting optimal healing and glow.
