In general, there are few conlraindicalions to salicylic acid chemical peeling. Salicylic acid peels are well tolerated in all skin types (Fitzpatrick s I through Vt) and all racial-ethnic groups. General contraindications... [Pg.18]

Grimes [11] compared the histologic alterations induced by a variety of chemical peels in 17 patients with skin types IV, V, and VI, including glycolic acid 70%, salicylic acid 30%, Jessner s solution, and 25% and 30% TCA. Peels were applied to 4 x 4 cm areas of the back and 2 x 2 cm postauricular sites. Biopsies were performed at 24 h (Fig. 21.2a-d). Glycolic acid induced the most significant stratum comeum necrosis. Compared to the other tested peels, salicylic acid and Jessner s peels caused mild lymphohistiocytic der-... [Pg.176]

Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid. Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid, as are lactic acid, citric acid, and many others. Hydroxy acids are compounds that are both alcohols and acids at the same time. Hydroxy acids are used as chemical peeling agents. Alpha hydroxy acids can make the skin more sensitive to ultraviolet light by removing the skin s protective outer layers. Some alpha hydroxy acids ... [Pg.165]

Jessner s Solution has been used for over 100 years as a therapeutic agent to treat hyperkera-totic epidermal lesions [1]. This superficial peeling agent constitutes a mixture of salicylic acid, resorcinol, and lactic acid in 95% ethanol. Jessner s solution causes loss of corneocyte cohesion and induces intercellular and intracellular edema. Jessner s typically induces wounding to the level of the papillary dermis. Historically, resorcinol (a key component of Jessner s peels) was used in concentrations of 10-50% in the early twentieth century. High concentrations of resorcinol were associated with side effects such as allergic contact dermatitis, irritant contact... [Pg.23]

A variety of formulations of salicylic acid have been used as peeling agents. These include 50% ointment formulations (Table 6.1) [2,3], as well as 10, 20 and 30% ethanol formulations (Table 6.2) [4,6]. More recently, commercial formulations of salicylic acid have become available (BioGlan Pharmaceuticals Company, Malvern, PA Bionet Esthetics, Little Rock, AR). [Pg.50]

Grimes et al. [8] reported substantial efficacy and minimal side effects in 25 patients treated with 20 and 30% salicylic acid peels in darker racial-ethnic groups. Conditions treated included acne vulgaris, melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. [Pg.50]

Thirty-five Korean patients with facial acne were treated biweekly for 12 weeks with 30% salicylic acid peels [9]. Both inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesions were significantly improved. In general, the peel was well tolerated with few side effects. [Pg.50]

Given these findings, indications for salicylic acid peels include acne vulgaris (inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesions), acne rosacea, melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, freckles, lentigines, mild to moderate photodamage, and texturally rough skin. [Pg.50]

When treating acne vulgaris, topical and systemic therapies (if indicated) are initiated 2 to 4 weeks prior to peeling. Topical antibiotics and benzoyl peroxide based products can be used daily and discontinued 1 or 2 days prior to peeling. However, unless a deeper peel is desired, retinoids should be discontinued 7-10 days prior to salicylic acid peeling. Broad-spectrum sunscreens (UVA and UVB) should be worn daily (see Photo damage. Sunscreen section). [Pg.51]

Despite some general predictable outcomes, even superficial chemical peeling procedures can cause hyperpigmentation and undesired results. Popular standard salicylic acid peeling... [Pg.51]

Salicylism, or salicylic acid toxicity, is characterized by rapid breathing, tinnitus, hearing loss, dizziness, abdominal cramps, and central nervous system reactions. It has been reported with 20% salicylic acid applied to 50% of the body surface, and it has also been reported with use of 40 and 50% salicylic acid paste preparations [7]. The author has peeled more than 1,000 patients with the current 20 and 30% marketed ethanol formulations and has observed no cases of salicylism. [Pg.56]

In general, salicylic acid peels are extremely well tolerated. However, the procedure can cause swelling, redness, crusting, dryness and obvious peeling of the face which could last for up to 7-10 days. [Pg.56]

In 2002, Grimes reported the efficacy of combination salicylic acid/TCA 10% peeling [1]. She treated patients with moderate to severe melasma with this combination regimen. In the series, nine patients were classified as Fitzpatrick skin type IV, eleven were skin type V, and seven were skin type VI. Many of the subjects included in the study had not responded to salicylic acid or glycolic acid peels. The concentration of salicylic acid was 20 and 30%, and the TCA concentration was 10%. A series of four peels was performed at 2-week intervals. Thirty percent of the patients experienced moderate improve-... [Pg.103]
