A beta peel is a type of chemical peel that often uses salicylic acid as the main active ingredient. This peel is designed to address acne-related concerns, including:
- Exfoliation: The peel helps to remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, which can clog pores and contribute to acne.
- Unclogging Pores: Salicylic acid is oil-soluble, allowing it to penetrate the pores and help unclog them. This can be particularly effective for treating blackheads and whiteheads.
- Reducing Inflammation: Beta peels can have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help calm redness and inflammation associated with acne.
- Promoting Skin Renewal: Chemical peels, in general, stimulate the skin's natural renewal process, leading to a smoother and more even complexion over time.



Here’s a general outline of what you might expect during a beta peel treatment:
- Preparation:Before the peel, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed to remove any oils and impurities.
- Application: The beta peel solution, typically containing salicylic acid, is applied to your skin. The solution is left on for a specific period, which can vary depending on the peel's strength and your skin's condition.
- Sensation: You may experience a tingling or mild burning sensation during the peel. This is generally temporary and expected.
- Recovery:Your skin may appear red and peel for a few days after the treatment, which is part of the exfoliation process. It's important to follow post-treatment instructions carefully to ensure proper healing and results.
