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]

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]

Salicylic acid (ortho hydroxybenzoic add) is a beta hydroxy acid agent. It is a lipophilic compound which produces desquamation of the stratum corneum via removal of intercellular lipids [3] (see salicylic acid section). Given its keratolytic effects, it has become an increasingly popular superficial peeling agent. Salicylic acid peels induce injury via thinning or removal of the stratum corneum. In addition, salicylic acid potentially enhances the penetration of TCA. [Pg.103]

The author has observed enhanced improvement of oily skin, enlarged pores, and acne vulgaris with the use of salicylic acid peels compared with glycolic acid peels. Possible mechanisms for this observation include salicylic acid s effect on lipid solubility and microcome-odone formation. [Pg.144]

Jessner s solution contains 14% resorcinol, 14% salicylic acid and 14% lactic acid. Jessner s solution has been used alone for superficial peeling, or in combination with TCA 35% to achieve a medium-depth peel. Increasing the number of coats applied to the treated area increases the depth and reaction induced by the Jessner s peel. These peels are well tolerated with minimal side effects in the author s practice. As with glycolic acid and salicylic acid peels, Jessner s peels are most commonly used as adjimctive therapy for moderate to severe facial dyschromias, acne, oily skin, texturally rough skin, fine wrinkles, and pseudofolliculitis barbae.

Nineteen women were treated. Of that group, nine were treated with 4% hydroquinone and serial salicylic acid peeling. Both groups showed improvement in photodamage however, there were no significant differences between the two treatments. [Pg.170]

Salicylic acid peelings performed at 3- to 4-week intervals are a good choice for patients with rosacea. Salicylic acid peeling has antimicrobial activity, reduces erythrosis and prevents relapses. [Pg.193]

In erythrosis 15% to 25% to 30% salicylic acid peeling should be performed at 3-week intervals for a total of three to four peelings (Fig. 17.14a, b). Suggested topical treatment between peeling includes 0,75% metronidazole cream once a day or 1-2% salicylic acid cream once a day and sunblock creams... [Pg.193]

In papulo-pustular rosacea 25-30% salicylic acid peeling is utilized in association with systemic treatment with metronidazole or antibiotics and topical treatment as for erythrosis (Figs. 1715,1716 and i/.i/)-... [Pg.193]
