PCA Chemical Peels & Facials for Clady and County Derry

People travel to NUA Aesthetic from Clady for PCA chemical peel because the clinic is deliberately small. One nurse, one room, and appointments that are not stacked back to back.

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 Clady clients that means a calm, discreet setting rather than a busy clinic, and an address shared on confirmation.

Why Clady clients choose NUA

Lauren is a registered Children's Nurse who graduated with First Class Honours from Northumbria University, and holds CIDESCO and ITEC qualifications in beauty therapy. That combination is unusual, and it is why PCA chemical peel here is treated as a clinical decision first and a cosmetic one second. Clady clients see the same practitioner at every appointment.

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

Questions Clady clients ask about PCA chemical peel

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 Clady clients.

Are PCA peels safe for sensitive skin?

Yes, and it is one of their strengths. Because each peel is custom-layered and the response monitored during application, the strength is matched to your skin rather than applied as a fixed protocol.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

How soon can I have a peel before an event?

Allow at least a week for a medical peel. A PCA facial is much more forgiving and is often booked two or three days before an event specifically for the glow.

Who will carry out my treatment?

Lauren, every time. She is an NMC registered nurse and CIDESCO qualified skin specialist. There is no rotating team, so Clady clients see the same practitioner from consultation through to review.

Is there parking available?

Yes, parking is straightforward at the studio, which is one of the practical advantages over a town centre clinic for anyone driving in from Clady.

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.
