The Jessner peel is a medium-depth peel. It penetrates the skin’s top layer (the epidermis) as well as the outer portion of the middle layer (the dermis). However, we can modify the solution for treatment to achieve a superficial peel if you require a faster healing time. If modified, you may need a Jessner peel more frequently to achieve the results of a medium-depth peel.

Treatment
After cleansing and prepping your skin, your licensed aesthetician will apply the peel to your skin. Once it’s had time to soak in, they will remove the peel and apply moisturizer.
Results
You will experience some light peeling and dryness that lasts for several days—this is normal! Many patients see results, including brighter skin, over the next 4 to 6 months.

- Discontinue use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including aspirin, up to 72 hours before your appointment
- Avoid makeup on the day of your scheduled peel
- Avoid direct sunlight for 1 week ahead of your treatment
- Stop using retinoids, retinals, and harsh exfoliating skincare products a week prior to treatment
Chemical peels penetrate layers of the skin in different ways.
Superficial peels target the outermost layer of skin—the epidermis. This peel is best for mild skin concerns, like minor blemishes and fine lines. The superficial peel is popular among patients who maintain a regular skin maintenance routine.
Medium peels penetrate deeper, into the top of the second layer of skin—the dermis, making it a popular solution to target moderate skin concerns. Many patients choose this peel to help them tackle acne scars and wrinkles. Anyone seeking this treatment should be prepared for a little bit more downtime than a superficial peel.
