Discover the power of expertly formulated acid peels that can help you achieve your skincare goals. PCA SKIN® leads the industry with over 25 years of innovation, pioneering the modified and enhanced Jessner’s peel. Using ingredients such as glycolic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid, natural AHAs, and retinol, this superficial peel offers a variety of professional peel options that deliver safer, more comfortable, and highly effective treatments tailored to different skin concerns. Over a million PCA SKIN® peels are performed worldwide annually.
Our professional peel solutions effectively exfoliate dead skin cells to reveal fresh, healthy skin underneath without much shedding. Depending on your skin type and concerns, our aesthetician will recommend appropriate treatments to boost cell turnover, bringing new skin cells to the surface and reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and breakouts. Our Senior Skin Specialists, trained and certified by PCA SKIN®, ensure you receive the highest standard of care and achieve the most effective results at our London clinic.
We offer bespoke PCA SKIN® peel treatments tailored to your unique skin needs, regardless of your skin type and Fitzpatrick level. Here are some key benefits:
Suitable for Sensitive Skin
PCA SKIN® offers a peel suitable for sensitive skin, providing gentle yet effective medical-grade exfoliation without expected peeling or downtime. These peels detoxify pores and promote skin renewal, resulting in a smoother, brighter complexion.
Pigment Correction
PCA SKIN® peels effectively treat hyperpigmentation, melasma, acne scars, and sun damage on all skin types. You can see up to a 17% improvement after just one treatment, with noticeable results as early as 7 days post-treatment.
Acne and Breakouts
For those struggling with acne and breakouts, PCA SKIN® peels help reduce sebum production, minimise pore size, and prevent hormonal breakouts. These treatments clear up blackheads and other blemishes, leaving the skin clearer and more balanced.
Anti-Ageing
The peels address signs of ageing such as fine lines and wrinkles. By promoting collagen production and improving skin texture, they help you achieve a more youthful, revitalised appearance. Key ingredients like Resveratrol, an antioxidant that reduces inflammation and stimulates collagen production, and Grapefruit extract, an antioxidant that protects epidermal stem cells from damage, enhance the anti-ageing effects of our treatments.
varies per patient

Most PCA SKIN® peels cause minimal discomfort. You may experience a mild tingling or warm sensation during the treatment, but this typically subsides quickly.
Yes, many dermatologists recommend acid peels for their effectiveness in addressing a variety of skin concerns. They are a trusted treatment for improving skin texture, tone, and overall appearance.
Visible results can often be seen after just one peel, with improvements in skin texture and clarity. However, regular treatments every 2-4 weeks are typically recommended for achieving optimal and long-lasting results. Your aesthetician will create a personalised treatment schedule tailored to your specific needs and skincare goals.
The results of a PCA SKIN® peel can last from several weeks to months, vary by your skin type, the specific peel used, and your skincare routine. Regular maintenance treatments can help extend and sustain these benefits.
Healing times vary, but most people experience minimal downtime. Flaking or shedding can occur for 2-5 days, and in some cases, up to 7 days.
