WHAT JESSNERS PEEL USERS ARE SAYING:

About Me Beauty Conscious

Worked great and got an excellent peel very quickly. May be a bit stronger than you would think, if you are a first time peeler. (I also used with a .04% Retin A layered on just after) So use in only one or two layers, and that would give you a fine outcome. Expect to start peeling in 30-36 hours. If very thick skin or have undergone multiple peels already, do 3-4 layers..and use the fan on your face. Cheers.

The Jessner's Solution should be applied by experienced professionals only. The solution is applied by gently painting onto the skin and can be layered. The application of this peel progresses from the forehead to the cheeks and, then, to the center of the face and across the chin, upper lip, and nose.

Repeated coats are applied until the white frost develops or until the stinging becomes unbearable. For a deep, effective peel, this usually takes 4 to 6 coats, after which one should continue to fan the face for several minutes until the pain sensation fades.

Rinse thoroughly with cool water and pat dry. A light moisturizer or sunscreen should be worn the days following the peel treatment. Moderate downtime.

It is common to use the Jessner's peel in combination with other peeling solutions, such as Glycolic Acid peels, TCA peels and Retinoic Acid Peels (Retin-A).

Darker skin types (particularly African American) should proceed with caution due to an increased risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from Resorcinol exposure.

Jessner's can be used to lighten areas of hyperpigmentation, treat acne and acne scars and to treat photo damaged and aged sun damaged skin. Jessner's peel achieves a more thorough peel than AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) peels and is appropriate for patients requiring a deeper peel.
