What is Salicylic Acid Peeling ?

Salicylic acid peeling removes aged keratin on the skin’s surface,
promoting skin regeneration to improve various skin concerns.

Most skin issues like acne, rough skin, dullness, and wrinkles
are often linked to disruptions in skin turnover (renewal) cycles.
Salicylic acid softens skin keratin and has antifungal properties against fungi like the athlete’s foot fungus.

It’s formulated into ointments, liquids, or plasters for treating conditions such as psoriasis, keratosis, warts, corns, calluses, and athlete’s foot.
People with chronic conditions or allergies should inform their doctor.
Avoid using on severely irritated or wounded areas.
Peeling refers to removing skin, similar to peeling an onion’s outer skin to reveal a smooth surface, and is considered an easy cosmetic method to remove unnecessary surface keratin and guide towards transparent, glowing skin.

Salicylic Acid Peeling

Effects of Salicylic Acid Peeling

You may have heard of skin turnover, which occurs approximately every 4 weeks (28 days) in healthy skin. The skin is composed of three main layers: the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue. The outermost layer, the epidermis, consists of four layers in sequence from the outside: the stratum corneum, granular layer, spinous layer, and basal layer.

New epidermal cells are born through cell division in the basal layer, gradually changing shape as they are pushed upward through the spinous and granular layers. Once they reach the stratum corneum, these cells serve to physically protect the body surface as keratin, and eventually shed as visible flakes, revealing new keratin underneath. This process is known as the skin turnover cycle.

The purpose of peeling is to remove old keratin layers to help regulate the turnover cycle, though naturally shed keratin does not necessarily need peeling.

Salicylic acid macrogol is a chemical peel that dissolves salicylic acid (which dissolves keratin) and macrogol (which prevents acid penetration into the skin). Originally, salicylic acid peels were known for their strong stimulation of the skin, but thanks to macrogol, they can now selectively remove dirty old keratin on the skin surface and unclog pores.

The timeframe for experiencing the effects of chemical peels varies depending on symptoms and individual differences, with gradual changes typically appearing. Although sensitive patients may experience thinning skin after treatment, this usually resolves within a few days. Similarly, slight tingling or itching post-treatment also gradually improves, typically without requiring further outpatient visits.

By promoting normal skin turnover, salicylic acid macrogol effectively prevents and improves dark spots, dullness, and acne. It also promotes the production of collagen and elastin, maintaining youthful and radiant skin. Salicylic acid macrogol is a chemical peel with minimal irritation and high efficacy in removing keratin.

Effects of salicylic acid peels and commercially available peels

The difference between commercially available peels and commercially available peels is that commercially available peels are classified as cosmetics.
The ingredients and concentration are different from the peeling agents used at beauty clinics.
There are various soap types, serum types, and rinse-off types available on the market.
Commercially available peels and peels at beauty clinics have the same purpose, but the effects and stress on the skin are very different.
It is also important to understand the advantages, disadvantages, and precautions of each.
Only medical institutions can perform chemical peels for the purpose of treating and improving skin diseases.

Chemical peels at aesthetic salons are for cosmetic purposes, so there are differences in the chemicals used.
For acne, age spots, etc., it is necessary to correctly assess the symptoms before choosing the drug and method, so it is necessary to consult a beauty clinic and make a decision.

Benefits of salicylic acid peels

There are three benefits to receiving a salicylic acid peel.

 
The first is that it does less damage.
Salicylic acid peel is a peeling treatment that minimizes damage to the skin.
The drug used contains macrogol.
Macrogol is an ingredient that prevents the powerful dissolving action of salicylic acid from penetrating too much.
It allows for highly safe skin beautification treatments that limit penetration to the layers where the beauty effect is enhanced and do not damage the deeper layers where the damage is most severe.The second thing is that you can take it in a short time.
Salicylic acid peels take less than 10 minutes from the start of the treatment.
After receiving the reception, counseling, and examination, all that is required during the treatment is to apply the medication.
There is almost no downtime, so many patients can combine it with other treatments.The third thing is that it is relatively inexpensive among cosmetic treatments.
There is an impression that many beauty treatments cost over 10,000 yen,
Salicylic acid peels cost several thousand yen at many clinics even for the entire face.
Salicylic acid peeling is a treatment that is effective even after just one treatment, but you may not be able to clearly feel the effects.This is because the effects experienced vary from person to person depending on the desired beauty effect, skill of the treatment, and original skin type.
Of course, there are some people who smile after experiencing the soft texture and moisturizing effect even after just one use.
However, if you are expecting too much effect from a single treatment, you may be disappointed and feel that there is no effect at all.
Basically, many people start to notice improvements in their skin gradually by repeating the treatments over and over again.
The recommended frequency of salicylic acid peeling treatments to make it easier to feel the effects depends on the patient's skin condition.
It depends on the condition of the day, but if you have acne-prone skin, it is recommended to use it once a week, and if you have normal skin, it is recommended to use it once a month.
This is just a guideline, but most people achieve satisfactory results if they undergo a total of 5 or more treatments.
In addition, if you are concerned about redness or uneven skin tone, a photofacial, which irradiates the entire skin with light called IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), can be used in conjunction with a salicylic acid peel to reduce the appearance of dark spots, dullness, redness, etc. You can expect more improvement in skin problems.
