What is a PCA SKIN peel?

This is an advanced corrective treatment that can treat a variety of skin concerns. PCA SKIN® has peels appropriate for all skin types including those with sensitive skin. I work with each person’s unique skin type to properly prep the skin so the service can be performed. Each peel is tailored to address your specific and unique skin concerns. Each peel is performed using one of PCA SKIN®’s self-neutralizing TCA liquid solutions that use unique blends of exfoliating acids and are controlled through a precise layering technique. Clients leave with beautiful, glowing skin and stress-free complexion. 

Following each peel, your skin is pampered with corrective serums, calming agents, and broad-spectrum SPF, and you can further enhance your treatment with one of our exclusive PCA SKIN® peel add-ons. To support your skin's post-peel recovery, I will provide you with a personalized aftercare kit for the following 7 days. 

Important notes –

  • Please note that this advanced service is available exclusively for current clients who receive facial treatments at July Skincare. 

  • The recommended frequency of peel treatments varies based on individual skin concerns. 

  • For optimal results, I recommend a series of 3 treatments.

PCA SKIN Peels - after your appointment

For two days post-procedure –

  • Stay as cool as possible. Overheating internally can cause hyperpigmentation.

  • Do not put the treated area directly into a hot shower spray.

  • Do not use hot tubs, steam rooms, or saunas.

  • Do not go swimming.

  • Do not participate in activities that would cause excessive perspiration.

  • Do not use loofahs or other means of mechanical exfoliation.

  • Do not direct a hair dryer onto the treated area.

  • Do not apply ice or ice water to the treated area.

General guidelines after receiving a PCA SKIN treatment –

Do not have another treatment until your clinician advises you to do so.

  • After receiving a PCA SKIN® professional treatment, you should not necessarily expect to “peel.” However, light flaking in a few localized areas for several days is typical. Most patients who undergo these treatments have residual redness for approximately one to 12 hours post-procedure.

  • As with all peels and treatments, it is recommended that makeup not be applied the day of treatment, as it is ideal to allow the skin to stabilize and rest overnight; however, makeup may be applied 15 minutes after the treatment if desired.

  • To minimize side effects and maximize results, use the post-procedure kit that July Skincare provides for you following your first peel for three to five days or until any flaking has resolved.

  • If the skin feels tight, apply ReBalance for normal to oily skin types or Silkcoat® Balm for drier skin types to moisturize as needed. For maximum hydration, you can apply Hydrating Serum under ReBalance or Silkcoat® Balm.

  • Moisturizer should be applied at least twice a day, but can be applied more frequently for hydration and to decrease the appearance of flaking.

  • It is recommended that other topical, over-the-counter medications, or alpha hydroxy acid products not be applied to the skin seven days post-procedure, as they may cause irritation.

  • It is recommended to delay use of tretinoin, Retin-A®, Differin®, Renova®, Tazorac®, Avage®, EpiDuo®, or Ziana® five days prior post-procedure or seven days when receiving MD Peel (CCl3). Consult your physician before temporarily discontinuing use of any prescription medications.

  • Avoid direct sun exposure and excessive heat. Use Active Protection Body Broad Spectrum SPF 30, Weightless Protection Broad Spectrum SPF 45, Daily Defense Broad Spectrum SPF 50+, Hydrator Plus Broad Spectrum SPF 30, Active Broad Spectrum SPF 45, or Sheer Tint Broad Spectrum SPF 45 for broad spectrum UV protection.

  • Do not go to a tanning bed for at least two weeks post-procedure. This practice should be discontinued due to the increased risk of skin cancer and signs of aging.

  • Do not pick or pull on any loosening or peeling skin. This could potentially cause hyperpigmentation.
