Caroline, Licensed Esthetician
Google review
“Caroline is one of the best, if not THE best, esthetician in the area. She takes the time to discuss your skins needs before treatment and does a fabulous job explaining everything she does throughout the process. She carries (and uses) top of the line products and just launched an e-commerce site. I highly recommend Skin by Caroline to anyone looking for skincare, facials, peels, etc.”

Caroline selects the peel type and strength based on your skin's condition, concerns, and history. No one-size-fits-all approach, your treatment is built specifically for you.
Whether you're dealing with breakouts, dark spots, rough texture, or early signs of aging, PCA peels address the root cause, not just surface-level symptoms.
PCA peels are designed for controlled exfoliation with manageable recovery. Most clients experience light flaking for a few days, not dramatic peeling.
A series of peels builds on each session, each one revealing clearer, smoother, more even skin. Caroline tracks your progress and adjusts the formulation as your skin improves.
A chemical peel applies a controlled acid solution to the skin that removes damaged outer layers. This accelerates cell turnover, revealing fresher, smoother skin underneath. PCA peels are formulated to be effective while minimizing irritation.
Most clients experience light flaking rather than dramatic peeling, it’s often subtle enough that it isn’t noticeable. The degree of visible peeling depends on the peel type, strength, and your skin’s response. Caroline will set expectations before your treatment.
Many clients notice improvement after one session, but a series of 3–6 peels spaced 4–6 weeks apart delivers the most significant, lasting results. Caroline will recommend a plan based on your specific concerns and skin type.
Yes, with the right peel and the right approach. Deeper skin tones are more prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which means the choice of formulation and strength matters more, not less. Caroline starts with an assessment of your skin and history, usually begins conservatively to see how your skin responds, and builds from there. She will walk you through what to expect, including how to protect your results afterward, before you book.
Before: stop retinoids and chemical exfoliants 5–7 days prior. After: avoid direct sun, hot water, heavy exercise, and active skincare ingredients for 3–5 days. SPF is essential during the healing period. Caroline provides detailed aftercare instructions at your appointment.
Often, yes. PCA offers gentle formulations designed for sensitive and reactive skin types. Caroline will assess your skin’s tolerance and may start with a lighter peel to see how your skin responds before building up to stronger treatments.
Refined with Caroline offers PCA chemical peels in Rock Hill, SC, about 20 minutes south of Charlotte. Clients come from Fort Mill, Tega Cay, Lake Wylie, and Indian Land. Call (980) 999-0974 to book a consultation.
Plan on an hour. Your appointment is a 60 minute slot. The peel itself runs about 45 to 60 minutes depending on your skin and the strength Caroline selects, and she uses the rest of the time on the cleanse, the post-peel care and getting you out the door comfortable rather than rushed.
