Is a Jessner Peel worth the hype?
The Jessner peel is a gentle and safe chemical peel that helps to improve the dull appearance of the skin. It’s a fast and relatively affordable treatment that is suitable for most skin tones.
Like other chemical peels, the Jessner peel helps to remove and heal damaged skin by peeling away the dead surface layer of the skin. This dynamic peel activates a healing response, which brings new, fresher-looking skin to the surface.
WebMD calls the Jessner Peel “an effective way to treat common skin issues”.

How does it work?
Your aesthetician will apply a combination acidic solution that was invented nearly 100 years ago and improved with today’s technology. The solution may feel tingly as it begins to break down the surface layer of the skin. Across the next few days, your face will peel and begin a healing process, bringing new skin to the surface.
Is there downtime?
You should be able to go about your normal activities following the Jessner Peel Facial, but will want to treat your skin delicately and follow care instructions. Your face may be sensitive for a few days and look a little bit red and swollen as the top layer of skin peels. The healing process will take about 7-14 days, after which you will see the results. Some people will want a series of peels to get the results they desire.
