PCA Chemical Peels & Facials, Inishrush

There is no shortage of places offering PCA chemical peel across County Derry. What differs is who is holding the needle and how much time they give you.

Professional PCA Skin peels and facials, custom-layered to your skin type for a healthy post-treatment glow without aggressive downtime. Clients from Inishrush are given the same consultation time as everyone else, which is to say as long as it takes to answer the questions properly.

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

What to expect as a Inishrush client

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. Inishrush 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

PCA Peels & Facials in Inishrush: common questions

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Inishrush clients.

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 Inishrush who would rather not take time off work.

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.

Where exactly is the clinic if I am travelling from Inishrush?

The studio is in Carryduff, County Down. It is a private home studio rather than a high street clinic, so the full address is sent on booking confirmation along with parking guidance.

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.

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.

Can peels help with rosacea?

Certain PCA formulations are specifically suited to rosacea and help control redness and reactivity. Assessment matters here, as the wrong peel would make rosacea worse.
