Jessner Peel
Jessners Peel is a superior treatment designed to
remove superficial layers of skin. It’s one of the most effective light
cosmetic peel available. A Jessner peel consists of a mild peeling agent
that can be used to lighten areas of hyperpigmentation and to treat aged
sundamged skin.
The Jessner’s peel is excellent for all skin types. It smoothes and
rejuvenates skin, producing beautiful results in treating mild to severe
acne, discoloration, moderate wrinkling, and sun damage. Peeling the face,
neck, hands, and upper chest is also quite effective.
The Jessner’s peel is very beneficial for patients with acne, oily, or
thicker skin, because it tends to decrease oil production and open clogged
sebaceous follicles. It also contributes to the healing process of acne.
The Jessner’s peel combines resorcinol, lactic acid, and salicylic acid to
result in deeper penetration and greater exfoliation of the outer layers
of skin cells. This deeper exfoliation produces noticeable flaking and
exfoliation in the following three to four days after the peel, and within
a week a smoother, healthier layer of skin will be revealed
About the Jessner's Peel
A Jessner's Peel is a medium depth peel performed by a dermatologist and
is designed for more extensive damage
than AHA's can improve. It is made from salicylic acid (a beta hydroxy
acid), lactic acid (an alpha hydroxy acid) and resorcinol. Dr. Rao will
apply a glycolic cleanser over your face to fully remove the oils and
horny layer so that your Jessner's solution will penetrate properly. Then
he will apply the Jessner's solution to your face, it will then burn
slightly (although this uncomfortable sensation can be relieved by a fan
blowing cool air on your treatment area). Then Board Certified
Dermatologist, Babar K.. Rao will neutralize the acid and remove your
solution with cool water. You will peel and flake for about 7 days and
turn pink or brown afterwards. After you heal nice, smooth skin will be
revealed.
If you have any questions about the
Jessner's Peel, or chemcial peels, or any questions about our dermatology or dermatopathology
procedures please feel free to contact Board Certified Dermatologist,
Board Certified Dermatopathologist, Babar K. Rao, MD, FAAD at his
Manhattan, New York, Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey, or Fresno, California
offices.
