Salicylic Acid Peel to Improve Acne? I have been advised by a Doctor to do a 30% Salicylic Acid Peel to improve my acne condition. He even advised me to look at a video of the procedure online and information about the procedure online (internet).
What I am wondering is how much of these peels will I have to do and how many layers will be remove with a 30% salicylic acid peel?

A: Salicylic Peels are an Excellent Choice for Acne Treatment

Salicylic peels are an excellent choice for treatment of active acne, both reducing the acne breakouts themselves and the inflammation caused by the acne. Usually, a series of peels are required, staged 1-2 weeks apart, depending on your sensitivity. Common side effects are redness, flaking, tenderness, and sensitivity. Occasionally, you will experience what seems like more breakouts early on, as the pores free themselves of buildup. Maintenance acne treatment and sunscreen (non-comedogenic) are also an important part of your care. For acne scarring, deeper peels, laser, dermabrasion or excision may be required.
