TARGETING SPECIFIC SKIN CONCERNS WITH PCA CHEMICAL PEELS

Have you ever struggled with a skin concern such as acne, aging, hyperpigmentation or sensitive skin including rosacea, eczema, impaired barrier or psoriasis?  Many skin concerns require targeted professional treatments to see improvement.  At Remedy Salon we offer many professional treatment options targeting almost every skin problem.  

One of our favorite Remedy Salon cosmetic skin treatments is the PCA chemical peel.  Now, if you’re anything like us, the term “chemical peel” used to intimidate us.  Our minds wandered to Images of raw faces and resting in dark rooms for recovery.  These kinds of peels do exist, however these extreme types of services are only executed by licensed physicians.  

What I would like to talk about here is the superficial chemical peel- A chemical service that can be executed by a licensed esthetician to target specific skin concerns on a deeper level.  PCA Skin has revolutionized professional treatments available in salons.  PCA is the leader in chemical peels with more than 25 years formulating the best and most innovative professional treatments in the industry.  More than one million PCA SKIN peels are performed globally each year.  PCA SKIN was the first company to develop and market the modified and enhanced Jessner’s peel, a solution that combines lactic acid, salicylic acid, kojic acid, citric acid and resorcinol.  This revolutionary reformulation provides safer application, a more comfortable treatment and increased skin benefits.  The PCA Peel® line of modified and enhanced Jessner’s peels is in medical and aesthetic offices all over the world.  The PCA SKIN line of peels has since expanded to include TCA and lactic blended peels, retinoid peels and boosters, and chemical peel alternatives. 

The professional line of treatment products is sold exclusively to PCA SKIN Certified Professionals, ensuring safe and effective application every time.

So what does this all mean?  

PCA Skin takes all the guesswork out of chemical services and delivers beautiful results with little to no downtime.  You can receive a chemical peel in less than an hour and return to your day with beautiful looking skin.  You can even apply makeup following a chemical service after only 30 minutes.   

At Remedy Salon receiving a peel service means a customized blend of PCA professional solutions are applied to your skin in customized layers which target your specific concerns.  Let’s explore how this works:

The human body is designed to always maintain approximately 7 layers of skin.  When a new internal layer of skin is produced, your body will naturally get rid of the outermost layer.  Young humans quickly and constantly produce new skin cells which triggers constant exfoliation of the exterior layer of their skin to make room for these fresh, new cells.  Collagen production is also high, which keeps the skin looking plump.  This is why a young child’s skin looks vibrant and youthful.  As we age, the rate at which our bodies produce new cells and collagen slows down significantly.  Because we are slower to produce new, internal layers of skin, the outermost layers stay around longer.  Because of this, these cells are able to age.  The aging of these cells in combination with a loss of collagen results in dullness, dryness, fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity.

PCA’s self-neutralizing peel solutions accelerate your cellular turnover, meaning that your body starts making new cells faster than its usual rate.  This is great news for anyone over the age of 30.  Faster cell production reverses the signs of aging, seemingly “turning back time” on your skin.  Of course, these effects are only temporary, so a customized daily care regimen and continued professional peel services are recommended.  Improvements in the skin will be seen even with sporadic professional treatment, however a 2-4 week professional treatment regimen accompanied by a twice daily at-home corrective treatment plan is recommended to achieve maximum results.
