A wide range of PCA Skin chemical peels is available to address various skin concerns at Lansdale Plastic Surgery. Their chemical peels contain a range of active ingredients to help exfoliate the skin and improve its texture and tone.
 
PCA Skin-Peel Hydroquinone Free is a chemical peel that targets hyperpigmentation, acne, and fine lines. This peel contains a blend of alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), and vitamin C to exfoliate and brighten the skin without the use of hydroquinone.
 
PCA Skin- Peel w/ hydroquinone is a chemical peel that also targets hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone, but with the added benefit of hydroquinone. Hydroquinone is a skin-lightening agent that reduces the production of melanin, which is responsible for pigmentation. This peel is recommended for those with stubborn pigmentation.
 
PCA Skin- Sensi Peel is a chemical peel designed for sensitive skin types. This peel uses a gentle blend of AHAs and BHAs to exfoliate the skin without causing irritation. It is ideal for those with rosacea, acne-prone, and dehydrated skin.
 
PCA Skin- Ultra Peel I is a chemical peel that addresses fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture. This peel contains a blend of AHAs, BHAs, and vitamin C to exfoliate and brighten the skin while promoting collagen production.
 
PCA Skin- Ultra Peel Forte is a stronger version of Ultra Peel I, designed for more advanced signs of aging and sun damage. This peel contains a higher concentration of AHAs and BHAs to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. It is recommended for those with normal to oily skin.

Chemical peels typically require some downtime, but the extent of downtime depends on the type and strength of the peel used. Superficial peels usually require little to no downtime, while deeper peels can require a week or more of recovery time.
 
It’s important to follow the post-treatment instructions provided by the dermatologist or aesthetician to help minimize downtime and ensure the best results. These instructions may include avoiding sun exposure, applying soothing creams or ointments, and avoiding certain skincare products or procedures for a period of time after the peel.
 
It’s also important to note that some peels may cause temporary redness, swelling, or flaking of the skin, but these side effects usually subside within a few days to a week.

During a chemical peel, a solution is applied to the skin to remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells, allowing new skin to grow in its place. The procedure typically takes 30 to 45 minutes and may cause a mild tingling or burning sensation.
 
After the treatment, the skin may be red and slightly swollen, and there may be some peeling or flaking of the skin in the days following the procedure. It’s important to avoid picking or scratching at the skin to prevent scarring or infection.
 
It’s also important to avoid sun exposure and to use broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect the skin during the healing process. Depending on the type and depth of the peel, it may take a few days to a few weeks for the skin to fully heal and for the results to be visible.

Chemical peels are suitable for individuals who want to improve their skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance. A good candidate for a chemical peel is someone who has concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, or sun damage.
 
However, it is important to note that not everyone is a suitable candidate for a chemical peel, such as individuals with certain medical conditions or who are currently pregnant or breastfeeding. It’s always recommended to consult with a dermatologist or aesthetician to determine if a chemical peel is a right treatment for your specific skin concerns and skin type.
