Professional Salicylic Acid Peels in Temecula

Aura Aesthetics offers advanced salicylic acid chemical peels performed by licensed estheticians who specialize in treating acne, blackheads, and oily skin conditions. Our beta hydroxy acid (BHA) peels penetrate deep into pores to dissolve oil and debris, providing superior results for clients throughout Temecula, Murrieta, and surrounding areas.

Salicylic acid is oil-soluble, allowing it to penetrate deep into sebaceous follicles where it works to dissolve keratin plugs, reduce inflammation, and prevent future breakouts. This makes it the gold standard treatment for acne-prone and oily skin types that need deep pore cleansing and long-term clarity.

Deep Pore Penetration

Salicylic acid's oil-soluble nature allows it to penetrate deeper into pores than water-soluble acids, making it uniquely effective for treating acne, blackheads, and congested skin from the inside out.

Ideal For:

  • • Active acne and breakouts
  • • Blackheads and whiteheads
  • • Oily and congested skin

How Salicylic Acid Works

Oil Soluble

Unlike water-soluble acids, salicylic acid can penetrate through sebum and oil to reach deep into pores where acne begins.

Keratolytic Action

Dissolves the bonds between dead skin cells, helping to unclog pores and prevent new comedones from forming.

Anti-Inflammatory

Reduces inflammation associated with acne while calming irritated skin and preventing future inflammatory responses.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are salicylic acid peels?

Salicylic acid peels are beta hydroxy acid (BHA) chemical peels that penetrate deep into pores to dissolve oil, dead skin cells, and debris. They are particularly effective for acne, blackheads, and oily skin conditions due to their oil-soluble nature.

How often should I get salicylic acid peels?

Salicylic acid peels are typically recommended every 2-4 weeks depending on skin condition and tolerance. A series of 4-6 treatments often provides optimal results for acne and oily skin concerns, followed by maintenance treatments.

What should I expect after a salicylic acid peel?

After a salicylic acid peel, you may experience mild redness and light peeling for 2-5 days. Your skin will appear clearer with reduced blackheads and improved texture as it heals. Deeper peels may have more extensive peeling.

Who is a good candidate for salicylic acid peels?

Salicylic acid peels are ideal for those with acne, blackheads, whiteheads, oily skin, enlarged pores, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. They're safe for most skin types but may not be suitable if you're allergic to aspirin (salicylates).

How should I prepare for a salicylic acid peel?

Avoid using retinoids, other acids, and exfoliating treatments for 3-5 days before your peel. Discontinue any acne medications as directed. Use gentle, non-irritating products and ensure your skin isn't compromised or overly irritated.
