Jessner’s Chemical Peel
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 & Surgery, our board-certified dermatologists customize Jessner’s peels to address:
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.
What is it
This in-office treatment is slightly more intensive than a superficial peel but still requires no anesthesia and minimal downtime. Here’s what to expect:
We thoroughly cleanse and prep your skin to ensure even penetration.
We apply the Jessner’s solution in one or more layers using gauze or a brush, adjusting the intensity based on your skin’s needs.
You may feel a mild stinging or warming sensation, which fades within minutes.
Our dermatologists carefully evaluate your skin’s response and may apply additional layers for enhanced exfoliation.
Some Jessner’s peels self-neutralize, but we may apply a cool compress or neutralizing solution for added comfort.
The entire process takes about 10–15 minutes, followed by personalized post-treatment care to ensure proper healing.
CARE
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:
Use a gentle, dermatologist-recommended moisturizer.
Let your skin shed naturally to avoid scarring or discoloration.
Apply broad-spectrum SPF 50+ daily and avoid prolonged sun exposure.
Hold off on scrubs, exfoliants, or acne treatments for 5–7 days.
Skip workouts, saunas, and excessive heat exposure for a few days.
WHO IT IS FOR
While safe for most skin types, those with deeper complexions may require a customized approach to prevent post-peel pigmentation changes. Our dermatologists will assess your skin and tailor the treatment to your needs.
A Jessner’s Peel is ideal for those needing a more intensive treatment to address deeper skin concerns. It’s particularly effective for:
Jessner’s Chemical Peel
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.
