Why Derrymore 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. Derrymore clients see the same practitioner at every appointment.
What PCA Peels & Facials involves
Skin analysis
Lauren assesses your skin type, sensitivity and current condition, then selects the peel formulation and strength for that appointment.
Preparation
A thorough double cleanse and prep step, which is what allows the peel to work evenly rather than patchily.
Custom layering
The peel is applied in layers, with your skin's response monitored between each one. Layering is what keeps it controlled.
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 Derrymore: common questions
How do I book PCA chemical peel from Derrymore?
Booking is through the online system, where you can pick a consultation or treatment slot that suits you. Lauren confirms the appointment and sends the studio address. You can also call or message if you would rather talk it through first.
Will a peel help with pigmentation?
Yes, pigmentation is one of the concerns peels handle best. Improvement is gradual and requires diligent daily SPF, since sun exposure will undo the result.
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.
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.
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 is the difference between a PCA facial and a PCA medical peel?
The facial is a gentler treatment focused on immediate glow, hydration and maintenance. The medical peel uses stronger formulations to target specific concerns such as pigmentation, acne or texture, and is custom-layered with more active ingredients.
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.
Will my skin visibly peel?
Usually not dramatically. PCA peels are designed to work progressively rather than aggressively, so most people experience mild tightness and perhaps light flaking rather than obvious shedding.
What are the appointment times like?
NUA runs by appointment only with flexible scheduling, including times outside standard working hours. That tends to suit clients travelling from Derrymore who would rather not take time off work.
Do you offer PCA chemical peel to clients in Derrymore?
Yes. NUA Aesthetic treats clients from across County Antrim, including Derrymore. Treatments are carried out at the private studio in Carryduff, and the address is confirmed when you book.
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.
