Salicylic Chemical Peel
At Summerlin Dermatology, we offer salicylic chemical peels, a powerful treatment that gently exfoliates the skin, unclogs pores, and reduces acne breakouts. Whether you're dealing with blackheads, whiteheads, or mild acne scars, this peel helps reveal clearer, smoother, and more radiant skin.
What is a Salicylic Chemical Peel?
A salicylic chemical peel is an advanced skincare procedure that uses salicylic acid, a type of beta hydroxy acid (BHA), to deeply cleanse and rejuvenate the skin. This treatment penetrates the pores, dissolves excess oils, and removes dead skin cells, making it an ideal choice for individuals dealing with acne-prone skin, clogged pores, and uneven texture.

There are numerous benefits to Salicylic Chemical Peels, including:
Clearer Skin: Effectively reduces acne by unclogging pores and eliminating buildup.
Prevents Future Breakouts: Keeps pores clean, minimizing the chances of recurring acne.
Improved Texture: Smoothens the skin and reduces the appearance of acne scars and age spots.
Gentle Yet Effective: Offers noticeable exfoliation without harsh scrubbing, revealing brighter, healthier skin.
Regular treatments can significantly improve skin clarity and texture over time.

How the Procedure Works
Here’s what to expect during a salicylic chemical peel treatment at Summerlin Dermatology:
Prepping the Skin: Your skin is cleansed to remove any dirt, oil, or makeup.
Applying the Peel: A controlled concentration of salicylic acid is applied and allowed to penetrate the skin, dissolving impurities and dead skin cells.
Waiting Period: The solution stays on the skin for a carefully monitored period, based on your skin’s sensitivity.
Neutralization & Removal: The peel is neutralized and gently cleansed away.
It’s important to note that full benefits can take up to 6 weeks to become noticeable.

Moisturize with a gentle, hydrating product.
Apply Sunscreen (SPF 30+) daily to protect sensitive skin.
Avoid Harsh Products like exfoliants, scrubs, and heavy makeup for a few days.
