DermaFrost Salicylic Acid 25%
This treatment has two strengths, 12.5% and 25%. Salicylic Acid has the benefits of alpha hydroxy acids but is more effective in the treatment of early to moderate photo aging. The use of salicylic acid is a rapid in office procedure with high tolerability safety and efficacy for the client.

Skin Type:
For sun damaged skin (actinic keratoses), aging skin showing deep wrinkling and loss of elasticity, acne vulgaris types I & II, pigmentation abnormalities, fine wrinkles, and rough, calloused skin. Suitable for most Fitzpatrick skin classifications.

Properties:
Salicylic acid is lipid-soluble, in contrast to water-soluble AHA’s. This is very important in relation to how it affects the follicular orifice, which is filled with sebum, a lipid. Salicylic acid easily penetrates into the lipid plug in a congested follicle. It is considered keratolytic and antimicrobial. It does not increase transepidermal water loss even though the proliferative effect is greater. It is less irritating and does not alter skin barrier properties. DermaFrost is self neutralizing, meaning it is applied in one or more layers and allowed to dry. Skin exfoliation takes place within the following 2-3 days. The use of salicylic acid is a rapid in-office procedure with high tolerability, safety, and efficiency for the patient.
