Are you struggling with acne or skin discoloration? A salicylic peel can help unclog your pores to reveal clearer and brighter skin. If over-the-counter acne products are ineffective in treating your breakouts, you may want to consider this minimally invasive treatment for clearer skin.

Salicylic Peel Treatment Process

During treatment, the provider will cleanse your skin and apply up to three layers of the salicylic solution. A mild stinging or burning sensation can be expected. After about five minutes, the salicylic peel is neutralized with water and removed. You may experience redness and skin flaking for up to a week after treatment. Normal activities can be resumed right away.

Mild irritation and redness may be experienced for the first few days after treatment. Your provider will give you specific aftercare instructions to help minimize discomfort and speed healing. You may need a series of four to six treatment sessions done at monthly intervals to achieve your desired results.

Benefits of a Salicylic Peel

A salicylic peel can provide multiple aesthetic benefits. These peels unclog pores to clear acne and help reduce age spots. Salicylic peels can also exfoliate sun-damaged skin to brighten your appearance. It can also reduce fine lines and wrinkles. This treatment is safe for all skin types to achieve a more youthful and healthier appearance.

Dr. Maia and her staff are incredibly professional and truly empathetic. They’ve done a beautiful job with the treatments that I’ve gotten and I look forward to coming to the office every single time.

Dr. Maia deserves more than 5-stars! I’m thrilled with my results and I’m less than 3 months post surgery. Dr. Maia is confident and kind, and not at all pushy like other plastic surgeons. I was overly impressed the morning of the procedure. The surgical and hospital staff know her well! They were ready for her and put me at ease while I was getting settled in the OR. I appreciate the team in Dr. Maia’s office for their patience and care. They are just as calm as Dr. Maia.

Mid 40s male who’s always had nasal breathing issues and a dorsal bump. I finally decided to do something about it with a septoplasty/rhinoplasty combo. I met with a few doctors but Dr. Maia stood out. She instilled confidence, and I’m extremely pleased with the results. The surgery was straight forward, and the swelling was surprisingly light. A week later the cast was off and I was on the short road to recovery. Honestly, if I had known it was this easy I would have done it earlier. Thanks Dr. Maia!

I recently had Dysport injected by NP Kristina, and I could not be happier with the outcome. I can already see some of the results few days post-injections! I love how quickly Dysport softens the wrinkles, without giving you the "frozen look". Just in time for the upcoming holidays! Earlier this year, I did 3 Morpheus-8 treatments to my face and neck, and I am CONSTANTLY being complimented on how good my skin looks. Worth every penny! I also had fillers injected by Dr. Maia and Kristina. Dr. Maia did my under-eye, which I am obsessed about... what a change! Kristina injected my lips, chin, jawline, and cheeks. My face looks more proportional and guess what.... I FINALLY HAVE A CHIN :) Thank you, Dr. Maia, Kristina, and the Team. You're the best. I will surely be back for more.

I had tummy tuck and muscle repair with Dr. Maia 3 months ago. I couldn't be happier. I am 44 and I got my 25 year old body back after tummy tuck with Dr. Maia. The initial consult was great. The surgery was fast. The post op care was excellent. Dr. Maia and team assured me that I had great post recovery and everything going okay. I had no complication whatsoever. The incission was very small and low which I love. She is amazing and caring surgeon. He teams are very responsive and wonderful. I am very happy with the result and everything.
