Jessner Peel
The Jessner Peel is a medium depth chemical peel that penetrates to a certain depth and exfoliates the outer layer of the skin. This process helps with skin regeneration and collagen production improving overall texture, tone, and appearance.
The Jessner Peel is a combination peel with 3 active ingredients: Salicylic acid, Lactic acid, and Resorcinol.
Salicylic acid has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effects that limit bacterial growth. It penetrates the skin and helps unclog the pores from dirt and oil. It also breaks down the protein that holds the skin cells together aiding in skin shedding and exfoliation.
Lactic acid helps exfoliate the top layer of the skin and has a whitening effect to address skin discoloration. This exfoliation process stimulates collagen production which aids in firming and tightening the skin.
Resorcinol enhances the action of both acids. It has whitening and antibacterial properties. It is a component in many acne treatments as it helps remove rough damaged skin.
The Jessner peel is safe and suitable for most skin types. It is an effective treatment for:
- Treating acne on the face, chest, or back
- Reducing pigmentation from Melasma and sun damage
- Reducing the appearance of fine lines and acne scars
- Evening out skin tone and improving appearance and texture
- Rejuvenating the skin by resurfacing the top layer and encouraging the skin to regenerate
