If you struggle with acne, oily skin, or stubborn blackheads, a Salicylic Acid Peel could be your secret weapon for achieving clearer, healthier skin. This peel is a game-changer for anyone dealing with breakouts, clogged pores, or rough texture, and at Freya MediSpa, we tailor this treatment to help you achieve your best skin yet!
What is a Salicylic Acid Peel?
A Salicylic Peel is a professional chemical peel that uses salicylic acid, a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) known for its ability to deeply penetrate pores and exfoliate from within. Unlike other acids that primarily work on the skin’s surface, salicylic acid dissolves excess oil, dead skin cells, and debris trapped inside pores, making it one of the most effective treatments for acne-prone and oily skin.!
Who is a Salicylic Peel Best For?
This peel is ideal for individuals with:
✔ Oily skin – Controls excess sebum and reduces shine.
✔ Acne-prone skin – Helps prevent and treat breakouts.
✔ Clogged pores & blackheads – Unclogs and refines pores.
✔ Uneven skin texture – Smooths rough, bumpy skin.
✔ Dull complexion – Exfoliates dead skin for a radiant glow.
✔ Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) – Fades dark marks left by acne.
🔹 Not recommended for: Individuals with extremely dry or sensitive skin, active rosacea, or those allergic to aspirin (since salicylic acid is derived from the same family as aspirin).

Top Benefits of a Salicylic Peel
1. Deep Pore Cleansing & Acne Reduction
Salicylic acid penetrates deep into the pores, breaking down oil and dead skin cells that contribute to acne. This reduces the formation of whiteheads, blackheads, and inflammatory pimples.
2. Oil Control & Matte Finish
For those struggling with oily skin, this peel helps regulate sebum production, keeping your skin fresh and shine-free for longer.
3. Unclogs & Minimizes Pores
Over time, congested pores can stretch and become more noticeable. A Salicylic Peel helps shrink the appearance of pores by clearing out excess oil and buildup.
4. Fades Acne Scars & Dark Spots
Salicylic acid encourages faster cell turnover, helping to fade post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) caused by acne breakouts.
5. Smoother & Brighter Skin
By exfoliating the skin’s surface and removing dead skin cells, this peel leaves your complexion glowing, smooth, and even-toned.
6. Anti-Inflammatory & Redness Reduction
Salicylic acid has anti-inflammatory properties, making it effective in calming red, irritated, or inflamed acne lesions.
After the Treatment:
Expect mild redness or slight flaking for a few days as your skin renews itself.
Within 3-5 days, your skin will start to appear brighter, clearer, and smoother.
Continue hydrating your skin and wearing SPF 30+ daily, as your skin will be more sensitive to the sun.
How Many Sessions Do You Need?
For best results, a series of 3-6 treatments is recommended, spaced about 2-4 weeks apart. This allows your skin to gradually clear and regenerate while minimizing the risk of irritation.
