A PCA peel is a professional, medical-grade chemical peel that resurfaces the skin to soften discoloration, even out tone, and restore clarity — customized to your skin type and concerns in our private Midtown treatment rooms. Unlike a one-size-fits-all peel, the formulation is selected for your skin, so it's a fit for sensitive complexions and more resilient skin alike.

Who is the best candidate for PCA Peel?

The best candidate for a PCA peel is someone looking to improve hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, sun damage, dullness, or early signs of aging.

What results can I expect from PCA Peel?

A PCA peel typically leaves skin looking brighter, clearer, and more even in tone, with a smoother texture and a healthy glow. Because the peel is customized to your concerns, results build gradually — you'll often see an initial refresh after one session, with deeper improvements over a series of treatments.

What are active ingredients in PCA Peel?

PCA peels use blends of professional-grade exfoliating acids — most commonly lactic acid, salicylic acid, mandelic acid, and trichloroacetic acid (TCA) — combined with targeted brightening ingredients like kojic acid and azelaic acid.

Steps Included

  • Cleanse, Assess & Prep

    Your esthetician reviews your skin and goals, then cleanses and preps the skin to remove any oil or residue so the peel can work evenly.

  • PCA Peel Application

    The customized peel solution is applied in thin, even layers. You may feel a light tingling or warmth — this is normal and passes quickly. Your esthetician watches your skin closely and adjusts the number of layers to your tolerance.

  • Neutralize, Nourish & Glow

    Once the peel has done its work, it's neutralized or gently removed. Your skin is calmed with a soothing finish and finished with sun protection to shield your fresh skin as you head out.

Q&A

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a PCA peel?

A PCA peel is a professional, medical-grade chemical peel that gently resurfaces the skin to improve tone, texture, and clarity. Developed by PCA Skin, these peels use blends of acids selected for your specific skin type and concerns, making them a versatile option for everything from hyperpigmentation to dullness and breakouts.

What does a PCA peel treat?

PCA peels are most effective for hyperpigmentation, melasma, sun damage, uneven skin tone, dullness, congestion, and early fine lines. Because the formulation is customized rather than fixed-strength, your esthetician can target your primary concern while keeping the treatment comfortable for your skin.

Does a PCA peel hurt?

No, a PCA peel is not painful, though you may feel light tingling, warmth, or mild stinging during application. These sensations are normal, temporary, and a sign the peel is working. Your esthetician adjusts the treatment to keep you comfortable throughout.

How long does a PCA peel treatment take?

A PCA peel appointment takes about 45 mins to 60 mins from consultation to finish. The peel itself is applied in layers over a few minutes, with the remaining time spent on your skin consultation, cleansing, and a soothing finish with sun protection.

What is the downtime after a PCA peel?

PCA peels involve minimal social downtime, with most clients returning to normal activities the same day. Over the following three to seven days, you may notice light flaking or shedding as fresher skin surfaces. Peeling is optional and varies by person — even without visible flaking, your skin is still renewing underneath. Individual results vary.

How many PCA peels do I need?

Most clients see the best results from a series of peels spaced a few weeks apart, rather than a single treatment. While you'll often notice brighter, smoother skin after one session, concerns like hyperpigmentation and sun damage respond best to a planned series of 3 to 6 treatments.

How often can you get a PCA peel?

PCA peels are typically done every four to six weeks, allowing your skin to fully renew between sessions. Your esthetician will recommend a cadence based on your skin's response and your goals during your consultation.

When will I see results from a PCA peel?

Many clients notice a fresher, brighter complexion within a week of their PCA peel, once any shedding is complete. Deeper concerns like discoloration and uneven tone improve gradually over a series of treatments.

Is a PCA peel safe for sensitive skin?

Yes, PCA peels are well-suited to sensitive skin because the formulation is customized to your tolerance. Your esthetician selects a gentler blend and can adjust the number of layers, making it a safe starting point even if you've never had a peel before.

Can I wear makeup after a PCA peel?

It's best to avoid makeup for at least the rest of the day after your PCA peel to let your skin settle. For the following days, focus on gentle skincare and diligent sun protection; your esthetician will give you a simple aftercare routine to follow.

Can I get BioRePeel while pregnant or breastfeeding?

We don't recommend PCA peels during pregnancy or while nursing, as a precaution around certain peel ingredients. Instead, we'll guide you to our signature facial, which brightens and refreshes your skin without the ingredients we avoid during pregnancy.

What's the difference between a PCA peel and a BioRePeel?

A PCA peel is customized to target pigment and tone concerns like melasma and sun damage, while a BioRePeel focuses on resurfacing and glow with virtually no downtime. If you're deciding between them, your esthetician can recommend the right fit during your consultation.
