Using chemical peels for skincare has been in practice for a long time. Different peels are used for skin rejuvenation, and the most noticeable ones are the Hyaluronic Peel and Salicylic Acid Peel in Dubai. The Salicylic Acid Peel is one of the most beneficial peels for skin exfoliation and regeneration.
What are Salicylic Acid and Salicylic Acid Peels?
Salicylic Acid belongs to the beta-hydroxy acid group, naturally produced by willow bark and wintergreen leaves. It has the properties to remove oil and grease from the skin when used in a Salicylic Acid Peel facial. Moreover, it can help clear acne and acne scars from the face. Compared to other chemical peels, Salicylic Acid Peel gently exfoliates the skin on the surface level and does not harm the skin.

Salicylic Peel can be applied to the following areas:
- Face
- Back

Types of Salicylic Peels
The Salicylic Acid Peels are of two types depending on their strength and concentration. Generally, the practitioner decides which type is suitable for a patient.
