Do chemical peels always cause peeling?

Not always. Visible flaking depends on the formula and your skin. Aftercare covers daily SPF and not picking if the skin flakes. Stronger Jessner blends are more likely to peel than PCA Sensi Peel.

How do I choose the right peel?

Book the closest match, or start with PCA Sensi Peel for a first chemical peel. The formula is confirmed in the room before it is applied.

Which peel is best for dark spots?

PCA Peel with Hydroquinone is for hyperpigmentation, including melasma and post-acne marks. Hydroquinone and Resorcinol is the stronger option for thicker, oilier, resilient skin.

How long does a chemical peel take?

The four named PCA peels are 45 minutes. PCA Oxygenating Trio is 60 minutes.

Pregnant, nursing, or on a prescription?

Say so when you book. A peel may be postponed. Retinoids, recent peels, and some prescriptions change which formula is appropriate.
