About this treatment

Professional Skin Peels at Skin Laine use PCA SKIN — a leading professional peel range chosen for evidence-based formulas and predictable clinical outcomes. Peels are prescribed by concern, not trend: acne, pigmentation, rough texture, and visible ageing each call for a different acid blend and depth. PCA SKIN combines newer actives with proven ingredients so results stay visible without unnecessary aggression. The range includes self-neutralising peels across enzyme, AHA, PHA, TCA, and pure retinol options, developed with strong quality and research standards. ## Who it is for Peels suit clients who want measurable change in skin texture and tone and who can follow structured aftercare. They work well when homecare is already consistent (cleanse, treat, moisturise, SPF) but skin needs in-clinic acceleration. A consultation is essential. We explain how your peel works, whether it fits your skin type, and what results are realistic for your goals — matching the approach taken on the legacy pre- and post-care guidance. ## How it works After assessment, we select the appropriate PCA peel and apply it for a controlled time while monitoring your skin's response. Self-neutralising formulas reduce the risk of leaving actives on the skin too long compared with older peel systems. You may notice tightness, mild flaking, or temporary redness for up to two weeks — this is normal for many protocols. We do not guarantee identical outcomes for every skin; results vary, which is why planning and follow-up matter. ## What we treat Professional peels can improve uneven texture, superficial pigmentation, congested or breakout-prone skin, and early photo-ageing changes. They are not suitable during pregnancy for selected acids, on compromised barriers, or when infection is active. ## Consultation first Please inform us if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or on skin medication. We align peel timing with any microneedling, laser, injectables, or waxing in your diary so treatments do not conflict. Book your consultation at Skin Laine in Ballina to confirm peel type, course length, and pricing.
