PCA PEELS
PellRadiant is proud to offer PCA peels as part of our comprehensive skincare treatments. A PCA skin peel chemically exfoliates and brings new skin cells to the surface to help treat chronic and acute skin conditions as well as discoloration, aging, and scarring. Unlike deep skin peels, PCA peels can be performed over the lunch hour, and you should have no problems returning back to work feeling fresh and rejuvenated.
WHAT IS A CHEMICAL PEEL?
A chemical peel is a type of deep exfoliation that uses an acid to speed up the skin’s natural healing processes. By removing the dead and dying skin and allowing fresh skin cells to move to the surface, a chemical peel can treat persistent problems like acne as well as the long-term effects of aging and sun damage.
Some skin peels require significant downtime and recovery, but PCA peels are a light, rejuvenating process that strengthens the skin and offers an alternative to traditional, deeper chemical peels.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
What benefits can I expect from DiamondGlow™?To jump-start your new skin we recommend 3-4 treatments 2 weeks apart and maintenance every 2-3 months. However, even one silk peel will usually refresh your skin for up to six weeks!
-
What are the risks and side effects of DiamondGlow™?Usually, there is no downtime with the DERMALINFUSION®, but some patients can experience tightening of the skin and mild exfoliation. Post-treatment the skin may be slightly pink but this should last for about one hour. Prior to treatment all potential risks and side effects will be discussed with you by your medical provider and cosmetic coordinator.

How will I look and feel during and after my DiamondGlow™?Your skincare professional will choose one or more of our specialized Pro Infusions, formulated to address a variety of skin conditions. The DERMALINFUSION® infuses these products deep into the skin where they are most effective. The solution delivers hydrating, antioxidant, acne-fighting and pore-reducing, and/or lightening infusions into your skin. After cleansing and preparing your skin, your esthetician will perform the procedure with a specialized handpiece. The treatment uses a closed-loop vacuum system resembling that of a wand to exfoliate the skin. An aesthetician will recommend the appropriate topical to infuse the skin and stimulate new cell growth. Each pass gently abrades away dead skin, thoroughly and evenly exfoliating while infusing the treatment solution into the skin. Your skin immediately looks clearer and brighter and definitely feels smoother and your makeup will go on easily. Patients can return back to work post-treatment or resume their everyday routine. Mineral makeup is recommended as it heals and soothes the skin without irritation post-procedure and covers up possible redness which should lighten after a few hours. Most patients report a post-treatment “glow-like appearance” coupled with a feeling of rejuvenation.

Can DiamondGlow™ be combined with other treatments?DiamondGlow™ may be combined with many other cosmetic treatments in our office such as Photorejuvenation, Diamond Glow, PCA peels and more. Many patients choose to undergo combination treatments in order to achieve the maximum aesthetic result.
