JESSNERS PEEL
One of the main ingredients of Jessners is salicylic acid that deeply penetrates the skin and removes congested sebum and dead skin cells. These peels are superb for skin that suffer with blackheads, acne, sun damage and pigmentation. We recommend a series of 3-6 peels.
What are Jessner’s peels?
Jessner’s solution induces superficial peeling of the skin. It has been used for cosmetic purposes for over thirty years and is still one of the most popular options for skin rejuvenation.
The Jessner’s peel is a mild to moderate form of peeling. Its strength and therefore its peeling effects can be increased, by layering the applications. This would be dependent on the patients skin type, skin condition and desired outcome.
What can Jessner’s peels treat?
• Sun damage
• Acne and congested skins (pimples, blackheads and whiteheads)
• Enlarged pores
• Pigmentation (sun spots, freckles and melasma)
Contra-indications (Reasons why Jessner’s peels may not be suitable for you)
• Allergies to aspirin based products (salicylates), resorcinol or lactic acid
• Roaccutane use in the last 6 months
• Dermatitis or infection in the area to be treated
• Pregnancy
• Abnormal wound healing
How many sessions do I need?
We recommend a course of 2 to 6 peels, this is dependent on skin type, skin condition, peel strength and the desired outcome.
What does it feel like?
Jessner’s solution is at a low pH, so it will sting a little, though will not hurt. Throughout the peel application (10 to 20 mins) the patient holds a fan – this helps to reduce the sting.
How does my skin look after the treatment?
• Mild to moderate redness and sensitivity (similar to a sunburn) lasting 12 to 48 hours
• Skin feels dry and tight
• Some darkened areas of skin may occur (this is skin preparing to shed)
• Varying amounts of flaking/peeling can occur for approximately 3-7 days after your treatment. It is very important not to pick or peel the skin prematurely as this can lead to prolonged healing or even scarring
• After the skin has shed it has a healthy glow, feels softer, smoother and is more even in color
• It is important to protect the new skin from the sun by using a broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) SPF 30+ sunscreen daily. We highly recommend SkinCeuitcals SPF!
Potential complications
• If the peeling skin is removed prematurely, prolonged healing and or infection is possible and may lead to a scar
• Possible herpes simplex outbreak if prone to cold sores
Patient After-Care
Now that you’ve had your first peel, there are a few simple steps for after care that you will need to follow:
Please use the moisturiser supplied to you for 3-7 days or until your skin is no longer sensitive. Thereafter, continue with your usual moisturisers unless advised otherwise.
Your skin will be a little more sensitive to the sun so keep sun exposure to a minimum. Please wear a hat and sunscreen daily. This should be a regular routine for you anyway!
Apply foundation as you wish.
Slight crusting and/or scabbing in particular areas may develop. If so, please do not rub or pick the skin as this may lead to a scar.
Expected changes over the next 7 to 14 days include:
Day 1 to 3 – Tight, dry skin with moderate redness and sensitivity
Day 2 to 5 – Areas of darkened skin (this is the old skin in preparation to peel)
Day 3 to 7 – Peeling or slight flaking lasting 2 to 5 days
Home care products to use for the following 5 to 7 days:
A gentle Cleanser, Phyto Corrective Gel, Moisturizer and a sunscreen will be supplied to you for use the week following your Jessner’s Peel
