The Comedone-Clearing Peel is a specialized chemical exfoliation treatment designed to dissolve the impactions causing blackheads and whiteheads. Ideal for congested, acne-prone skin, this treatment uses a blend of salicylic and glycolic acids to unclog pores and smooth texture without the trauma of aggressive extractions.
If your skin feels like a bumpy road map or you are constantly fighting blackheads that refuse to budge with home care, this is your intervention. This peel is designed for those who need a reset button on their pore restored, moving beyond surface cleaning to deep, chemical decongestion.
You have rough, uneven skin texture caused by tiny bumps under the surface (closed comedones) that makeup only seems to highlight.
You struggle with visible oxidation on the nose, chin, or forehead and manual extractions leave you red and irritated.
Your skin produces excess oil that gets trapped quickly, leading to frequent breakouts and a shiny complexion.
From congestion to clarity in four steps
Welcome to Skin Lounge Med Spa. After settling in with a refreshing beverage, we begin with a close-up skin analysis. We identify the specific types of comedones you have—whether they are open (blackheads) or closed (whiteheads)—to determine the correct acid strength for your peel.
We start with a double cleanse to remove surface oil and makeup, followed by a degreasing prep solution. This step is crucial as it removes the lipid barrier, allowing the peel solution to penetrate deeply into the follicle where the congestion lives.
Your esthetician applies the active solution—typically a salicylic-heavy blend known for its lipophilic (oil-loving) properties. You may feel a spicy tingling or warming sensation as the acid works to dissolve the “glue” holding dead cells and debris together. We monitor your skin closely, neutralizing the peel at the perfect moment to ensure safety and efficacy.
Once the peel is removed, we apply a soothing, anti-inflammatory serum and a heavy dose of non-comedogenic hydration. We finish with a high-grade SPF, as your fresh skin will be sensitive to the Florida sun. You leave looking dewy, with the deep cleaning process already underway.
Choose the intensity that fits your skin goals
Our entry-level peel focuses on surface exfoliation and dissolving minor blackheads. It uses a lower concentration of salicylic acid, making it perfect for first-timers or those with mild congestion who want zero downtime.
The standard protocol for stubborn acne. This tier utilizes a higher strength acid blend and includes ultrasonic extractions to manually remove debris loosened by the peel. Ideal for those with significant texture issues.
Our most complete tier combines the high-strength peel with LED Blue Light Therapy to help reduce acne-causing bacteria and High Frequency treatment to oxygenate the skin and speed up restoreing. Best for active breakouts combined with congestion.
Add 20 minutes of Blue LED light to target P. acnes bacteria and reduce inflammation immediately after your peel.
A cooling finish using frozen globes to instantly constrict capillaries, reduce redness, and soothe the “spicy” feeling of the peel.
An electrolyte-infused mask applied over the face to lock in hydration and calm the skin barrier post-exfoliation.
Remove vellus hair (peach fuzz) before the peel to allow the acid solution to penetrate even deeper for maximum results.

Not necessarily. Modern comedone peels are designed to exfoliate at a microscopic level; you might experience mild flaking or "dusting" for a few days, but rarely the heavy shedding associated with deep medical peels.
You will likely feel a tingling, prickly, or warm sensation that we often describe as "spicy." It is generally very tolerable, and we use fans or cooling air to keep you comfortable during the active phase.
We strongly recommend waiting at least 24 hours before applying makeup to allow your pores to breathe and the skin barrier to stabilize. If you must, use mineral-based makeup.
Yes, but with caution. Salicylic acid is excellent for inflamed acne, but we may adjust the strength or avoid manual extractions on active cysts to prevent spreading bacteria.
Social downtime is minimal. You may be slightly pink for an hour or two, and you might have some dryness or flaking on days 3 through 5, but you can generally return to work immediately.
Absolutely not without protection. Your fresh skin will be highly photosensitive. You must avoid direct sun exposure and wear SPF 30+ specifically in Boca Raton heat.
It helps fade post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark spots left by acne), but it is not aggressive enough to address deep, pitted indented scars. We have other treatments like texture-renewal for that.
We recommend waiting at least 24 hours after a peel to get anti-aging skin therapy, or waiting 2 weeks after anti-aging skin therapy to get a peel, to ensure the product doesn't migrate.
Pregnant or nursing women (due to salicylic acid), those on certain medications (within the last 6 months), or anyone with a sunburn or open wounds on the face should avoid this peel.
