About PCA Skin
PCA Skin was founded in 1990 and is used by dermatologists and licensed clinicians worldwide. Their peels are blended with calming and brightening agents alongside the resurfacing acids, which is what keeps downtime low without compromising results. They are still relatively uncommon in Ireland.
One peel, chosen for your skin
- PCA Peel (€129, 40 min). Your therapist chooses the peel solution at your consultation: for first peels, congested or oily skin, breakouts, uneven tone, pigmentation, fine lines or sensitivity. Most clients see light flaking for 2–5 days.
Downtime
Peeling is mild and powdery rather than dramatic, PCA peels are designed to deliver results without the heavy shedding associated with older-generation peels. Expect skin to feel tight on day one, with light flaking visible from day two to day five depending on the peel chosen. SPF 50 daily is non-negotiable for two weeks afterwards.
Your first peel
Every first peel begins with a short consultation so we can assess your skin, confirm the right formulation, and prepare you with realistic expectations and an aftercare plan. Booking your first peel automatically includes this consultation at no extra cost.
