SOCAL SKIN AND SURGERY
Reveal a Brighter, Clearer Complexion with a Jessner’s Chemical Peel
Jessner’s Chemical Peel
Advanced Exfoliation for Acne, Hyperpigmentation, and Aging Skin
If you need more than a superficial peel to target stubborn breakouts, uneven skin tone, or fine lines, a Jessner’s Peel may be the perfect solution. This medium-depth chemical peel exfoliates, resurfaces the skin, and stimulates collagen production for a smoother, more youthful glow.
At SoCal Skin and Surgery, our board-certified dermatologists customize Jessner’s peels to address: persistent acne and clogged pores, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, melasma, fine lines, early signs of aging and rough texture and acne scarring.
This time-tested treatment (used for over 100 years) combines salicylic acid, lactic acid, and resorcinol to unclog pores, dissolve dead skin cells, and refine skin tone.

How to Care for Your Skin After a Jessner’s Peel
With proper care, most patients are fully healed within a week, and any residual redness fades within 1–2 weeks. To protect and enhance your results, follow these simple aftercare tips:
Keep Skin Hydrated
Use a gentle, dermatologist-recommended moisturizer.
No Picking or Peeling
Let your skin shed naturally to avoid scarring or discoloration.
Strict Sun Protection
Apply broad-spectrum SPF 50+ daily and avoid prolonged sun exposure.
Skip Harsh Products
Hold off on scrubs, exfoliants, or acne treatments for 5–7 days.
Avoid Heat & Sweating
Skip workouts, saunas, and excessive heat exposure for a few days.

It’s particularly effective for:
Stubborn acne, blackheads, and acne scars
Sun damage, uneven pigmentation, and melasma
Oily, thick, or congested skin
Fine lines and rough texture

How Many Peels Will You Need?
Even a single Jessner’s Peel can deliver noticeable improvements. However, for stubborn pigmentation, acne scars, or deeper exfoliation, we typically recommend a series of 2–4 treatments spaced a few weeks apart for optimal results. After completing your treatments, you can expect:
