The development of age spots, which are brown or black spots that appear on the skin often cause distress. 

Age spots can be caused by sun exposure, genetics, or certain medical conditions.

If you are looking for a way to manage the appearance of age spots in Sussex, the PCA Peel System is a great option. The PCA Peel System is a chemical peel that uses a blend of alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) to exfoliate the skin and remove age spots.

In this blog, we’ll explain what it is, its benefits, and why it’s so popular.

What is the PCA Peel System?

The PCA Peel System is a professional-grade chemical peel that is used to improve the appearance of the skin. It is a gentle peel that can be used on all skin types, including sensitive skin.

It works by exfoliating the skin and removing the top layer of dead skin cells. This allows the underlying skin to regenerate, revealing a brighter, more even-toned complexion.

The PCA Peel System is also effective at removing age spots. The AHAs and BHAs in the peel work to break down the pigment in age spots, making them fade over time.

How it works

The PCA Peel System is a multi-step process that begins with cleansing and toning the skin, followed by a bespoke LED Neoelegance session. The peel is then applied to the skin and dependent on the sensations, further layers of peel are applied. 

The PCA peels are self neutralising so they can be left on the skin.

Hydrating, calming and soothing creams are applied.  

The benefits of the PCA Peel System

The PCA Peel System offers a number of benefits. 

These include:

• Effective at removing age spots
• Gentle on all skin types
• Can improve the overall appearance of the skin
• Can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Can improve skin texture
• Can brighten the complexion
• Improve confidence with better skin

Does it carry any risks?

The PCA Peel System is a safe and effective treatment, but there are some risks and side effects associated with it as with any other procedure. These side effects may include:

• Redness
• Peeling
• Irritation
• Sensitivity to the sun

These side effects are usually mild and go away on their own within a few days. It is a safe treatment when applied by a professional.

Your safety matters

Factors to consider when choosing a clinic:

• Qualifications and experience: Make sure your dermal filler clinic and practitioner are qualified. Look for practitioners with extensive experience and a proven track record of successful treatments. If you select a Nurse, doctor, or dentist, you have the added assurance that they adhere to a code of conduct to ensure a high level of professionalism. 
• Reputation and reviews: Do your research before choosing a dermal filler clinic. Does the clinic have an official website? Do they have contact details and places of business open to the public? Read reviews and testimonials from previous patients to get insights into their professionalism, expertise, and patient satisfaction. Google Business, What clinic and social media accounts set up by the clinic are great starting points.
• Consultation process: A thorough consultation is crucial for a successful outcome. A reputable clinic will assess your needs, discuss the treatment options, and address any concerns or questions you may have. The clinic should be able to answer all your questions, no matter how many you ask. You should be given a detailed discussion on the risks vs benefit of potential treatment options if appropriate. The clinic should also be able to let you share your opinions on the look you desire if you have one.
• Before and after photos: Ask to see before and after photos of previous patients. This will give you an idea of the skill and the potential results you can expect. 
• Safety measures: Ask about the clinic’s safety protocols, such as the use of sterile techniques and quality products. A reputable clinic will prioritise your safety and adhere to strict hygiene standards.

By carefully considering these factors and choosing a qualified practitioner or clinic, you are increasing the chance of a safe and positive dermal filler experience.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance in the human body that plays a crucial role in maintaining skin health. It is found in the skin, connective tissues, and joints.

HA has gained popularity in the UK due to its unique ability to minimise signs of ageing.

Carly Pearce, a highly skilled and qualified aesthetic Nurse practitioner based in West Sussex, gives insight into how scientific research supports the use of HA in minimising ageing signs on the skin.

Moisture retention

HA has an exceptional capacity to retain water molecules, which is vital for maintaining skin hydration. A study published in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology found that topical application of HA significantly increased skin moisture content, resulting in improved skin elasticity and reduced appearance of wrinkles.

Wrinkle reduction

As we age, the production of HA in our skin decreases, leading to the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. By injecting HA, the skin’s moisture barrier is strengthened, resulting in a plumping effect that reduces the appearance of wrinkles. A study published in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology reported that the use of HA resulted in significant improvements in wrinkle depth and skin elasticity.

Collagen synthesis

Collagen is a structural protein responsible for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. Research has shown that HA can stimulate collagen synthesis in the skin. A study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology demonstrated that HA injections stimulated collagen production, leading to improved skin texture and reduced signs of ageing.

Antioxidant properties

Oxidative stress plays a significant role in the ageing process, causing damage to the skin cells. HA has been found to possess antioxidant properties, helping to neutralise harmful free radicals and reduce oxidative damage. A study published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology revealed that HA exhibited antioxidative effects, protecting the skin from UV-induced damage.

Wound healing

HA has been shown to accelerate wound healing and improve tissue regeneration. Research published in the Journal of Dermatological Science highlighted the role of HA in promoting cell migration and collagen synthesis, leading to faster wound closure and reduced scar formation.

In conclusion, scientific research supports the use of hyaluronic acid in minimising ageing signs on the skin. Its ability to retain moisture, reduce wrinkles, stimulate collagen synthesis, possess antioxidant properties, and aid in wound healing contribute to its effectiveness in improving skin health and reducing signs of aging.
