MEDPEEL CONTROL: JESSNER’S SOLUTION
Classification: Lactic Acid (AHA-Alpha Hydroxy Acid), Salicylic Acid (BHA-Beta Hydroxy Acid) and Resorcinol (Phenol Derivative)
Description
Due to its unique blend of active peeling agents, the medium strength Jessner’s Solution skin peel revitalizes and renews skin like none other. Lactic acid (alpha hydroxy acid) renews the surface of the skin as salicylic acid (beta hydroxy acid) exfoliates deep within the pore lining to dissolve obstructing comedones. All the while, resorcinol ensures a bacteria-free peeling environment. This three-pronged combination therapy ensures real results for individuals plagued with acne, enlarged pores, excessive sebum production and hyperpigmentation. The downtime is short-term to moderate, however, the remarkable results are long lasting!
Level: Medium/Deep
Please Note: The depth and concentration of the Jessner’s Solution skin peel is largely dependent upon the sum of application passes applied to the skin during treatment.
Skin Type: Jessner’s Peel is generally safe for most skin types particularly normal to oily, sun damaged, dull, and uneven skin. Sensitive skin should progress application passes over time. Excessively dry or reactive skin should avoid Jessner’s Solution and instead opt for the AHA Kojic Peel.
Standard Benefits: Improved skin tone, texture and clarity. Reduction of acne, clogged pores, shallow wrinkles, fine lines, seborrheic dermatitis and eczema. Increase in collagen and elastin production.

Caution: Please read peel instructions! When proper direction is administered, risks are minimal. However, always protect the new skin’s delicate barrier with MedPeel’s Hyaluronic Moisturizer Serum and Age-Defy SPF 30 + Moisturizer. Darker skin types (particularly African American) should proceed with caution due to an increased risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from Resorcinol exposure.
Downtime: Moderate – Varies accordingly to individual skin traits and application passes/coats.
