Salicylic Acid Peels for the Treatment of Photoaging

Abstract: Several chemical agents are currently used to perform superficial chemical peels of the face. These include trichloracetic acid (15-30%), alpha-hydroxy acids (e.g., glycolic acid, 40-70%), and Jessner's solution (14% lactic acid, 14% resorcinol, and 14% salicylic acid). We have developed salicylic acid, a beta-hydroxy acid, at a higher strength (30% in a hydro-ethanolic vehicle) as an alternative peel. This peel has distinct advantages for resurfacing moderately photodamaged facial skin. We have peeled patient… Show more

“…Goldman and Wollina alternative peel to GA. 32 The benefits of salicylic acid peels are resurfacing moderately photodamaged facial skin, fading of pigment spots, decreased surface roughness, and reduction of fine lines also in pigmented skin. 33 Derivatives of salicylic acid, especially long-chain fatty acylconjugates of salicylic acid, have been claimed to be more effective at lower concentrations for skin peeling use.…”

“…Patients with active inflammation as seen in seborrheic, atopic dermatitis, irritant or allergic dermatitis, rosacea, psoriasis, or vitiligo, may be at an increases risk for postoperative complications secondary to alterations in the skin's normal barrier function. Thus, these conditions should be controlled before receiving a superficial peel [10]. Any history of abnormal scar formation, either hypertrophic scar or keloids, creates a greater risk to scar with deep as opposed to medium-depth peeling.…”

“…It is a lipophilic agent, which produces desquamation of the upper lipophilic layers of the stratum corneum [14]. Its efficacy for the treatment of acne and photoaging has been well documented in the Fitzpatrick skin types I-III [33,10] as well as in patients with Fitzpatrick skin types V and VI [14]. Salicylic acid peels are the preferred therapy for comedonal acne as it is lipophilic and concentrates in the pilosebaceous apparatus.…”
