PCA Chemical Peels & Facials in Castlewellan

If you are looking into PCA chemical peel around Castlewellan, the first thing worth knowing is that NUA is a private nurse-led studio rather than a salon or a high street chain.

In short: professional PCA Skin peels and facials, custom-layered to your skin type for a healthy post-treatment glow without aggressive downtime. Lauren will tell you if it is not the right treatment for you, which happens more often than you might expect.

NUA operates by appointment only from a private studio in Carryduff. For Castlewellan clients that means a calm, discreet setting rather than a busy clinic, and an address shared on confirmation.

Serving Castlewellan and the surrounding area

The clinical background matters. An NMC registration means accountability, record keeping and a duty of care that a beauty qualification alone does not carry. For Castlewellan clients considering PCA chemical peel, that is worth checking wherever you end up going.

What PCA Peels & Facials involves

  1. Skin analysis

    Lauren assesses your skin type, sensitivity and current condition, then selects the peel formulation and strength for that appointment.

  2. Preparation

    A thorough double cleanse and prep step, which is what allows the peel to work evenly rather than patchily.

  3. Custom layering

    The peel is applied in layers, with your skin's response monitored between each one. Layering is what keeps it controlled.

  4. Finish and protect

    Neutralising, calming and protective products are applied, and you leave with clear aftercare and SPF guidance.

Who it suits

  • Dark spots and hyperpigmentation
  • Acne and congestion
  • Rosacea and persistent redness
  • Dry or dehydrated skin
  • Dull, uneven tone and rough texture
  • Sensitive skin types that react badly to harsher resurfacing

PCA Peels & Facials in Castlewellan: common questions

How many treatments will I need?

A series is recommended for the best results, typically spaced two to four weeks apart depending on the concern being treated. Lauren will set out a realistic plan at your first appointment.

How long do the results last?

The glow from a single treatment lasts a few weeks. Structural improvements in pigmentation and texture from a series are longer lasting, and are maintained through daily skincare and SPF.

What if PCA chemical peel is not right for me?

Then Lauren will say so at the consultation and talk through what would suit your skin better. Being told no is a reasonable outcome of an honest assessment, and it happens regularly.

Can I combine PCA chemical peel with other treatments?

Yes. PCA Peels & Facials sequences well with several other treatments, and Lauren will plan the order so each one has room to work rather than doing everything at once.

Do peels help with acne?

Yes. They help control active breakouts by clearing congestion and regulating oil, and improve the marking left behind. For established scarring, microneedling is usually the stronger option.

How much does PCA chemical peel cost?

Pricing is listed openly on this page and is the same for all clients regardless of where they travel from. There is no separate charge for the consultation and no call-out or travel fee for Castlewellan clients.

Is there any downtime?

Very little. Mild tightness, occasionally light flaking. Aftercare guidance is given at the appointment, and Lauren is contactable afterwards if anything concerns you.

Can I wear make-up afterwards?

It is best avoided for the rest of the day to let the skin settle. From the following morning, normal make-up is fine.

Is there anything I should avoid beforehand?

Stop retinoids and exfoliating acids five to seven days before, avoid sun exposure and fake tan, and do not book within two weeks of any waxing on the treatment area.

How long do results last?

A series is recommended, with results maintained by ongoing skincare. Maintenance is discussed at your review so you can plan around it.

Do I need a consultation before PCA chemical peel?

Yes. Every treatment includes a consultation so Lauren can assess your skin and confirm the plan is right for you. It is included in the appointment rather than charged separately.

Can peels be combined with other treatments?

Yes, though not on the same day as microneedling or injectables. Lauren will sequence them so the skin has time to recover between treatments.
