Understanding the Treatment
Delivering a broad spectrum of benefits, the Jessner Peel dries out active acne, reduces acne scarring, smoothens out fine lines and wrinkles, and lightens skin discoloration due to hyperpigmentation. It is also effective for stimulating collagen, refining open pores and rejuvenating sun-damaged skin.
It can be used on non-facial areas as well, making it an effective treatment for acne on the back, chest or arms and for the treatment of in-grown hair.

How it Works?
A combination of three chemicals, Lactic acid, Salicylic acid and Resorcinol, the Jessner Peel is stronger and more aggressive than most superficial peels. It is a medium depth peel, which means it penetrates through the epidermis but not into the dermis. This makes it a ‘Pre-treatment peel’ prior to even deeper and more aggressive treatments.
- Lactic acid assists in exfoliation of the skin.
- Salicylic acid in penetration of the ingredients.
- Resorcinol in the treatment of acne.
Generally, around 2-5 coats of the peel are applied, followed by a calming mask after the session.
The peel can be repeated at 4 week intervals until the desired effect is achieved.
What you can expect?
A warm, tingling sensation may be experienced at the time the peel is applied. The skin may then look white and frosted – for a few hours only.
Over the next few days, the skin will appear progressively more inflamed – going from red in colour to brown. This is because the peeling process is underway.
The skin will also feel dry and uncomfortable. But once it has peeled way, a glowing complexion will be revealed.
Since the peel penetrates deeper with each coat of solution applied, recovery time increases accordingly as well.
