Beta Lift Salicylic Acid Peels in 535 Miller Ave
Mill Valley, CA 94941
The Beta Lift is redefining the superficial peel. Featuring beta-hydroxy acid (salicylic acid), this peel takes just minutes to apply with little to no downtime, and your skin immediately looks and feels smoother and tighter. At Aesthetic Dermatology And Skin Cancer, Inc., Beta Lift peels are used to refresh and even skin tone, treat acne, and reduce the redness of rosacea.
Why Salicylic Acid?
Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that is oil soluble, which allows it to penetrate deep into pores and dissolve the oil and debris that lead to blackheads and breakouts. It also has calming, anti-inflammatory properties, making it especially helpful for oily, congested, and acne-prone skin as well as redness associated with rosacea.
Benefits of the Beta Lift Peel
- Clears and unclogs pores
- Helps treat active acne and reduce breakouts
- Reduces redness from rosacea
- Refreshes and evens skin tone
- Leaves skin smoother and tighter immediately
What to Expect
Treatment takes just a few minutes. Afterward, your face may look a bit rosy for a short time, and a day or two later you may begin to peel slightly. Peeling ranges from barely visible to mild flaking. Most patients return to their normal routine right away. Use gentle skin care and daily broad-spectrum sunscreen while your skin renews.
