Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are beneficial for individuals seeking to improve the appearance and texture of their skin, address specific skin concerns, and achieve a refreshed and rejuvenated complexion. They can benefit those with:

Acne-prone skin: Chemical peels can help unclog pores, reduce acne breakouts, and improve the overall clarity of the skin.

Hyperpigmentation: Peels can effectively lighten dark spots, sunspots, and melasma, promoting a more even skin tone.

Fine lines and wrinkles: Chemical peels stimulate collagen production, which can help diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Uneven skin texture: Peels can smooth rough skin and improve its texture, making it look and feel more youthful.

Sun-damaged skin: Chemical peels can help reverse the effects of sun damage, including sunspots and photodamage.

Dull and lackluster skin: Peels can reveal a brighter and more radiant complexion by removing dead skin cells.

Scarring: Certain peels can help reduce the appearance of mild scars, such as acne scars or superficial scars.

Aging skin: Chemical peels are a valuable anti-aging treatment, promoting a more youthful and revitalized look.

What to Expect After Your  Chemical Peel:

Peeling Starts Between Day 3 and 5: Following the Jessner peel, your skin will start to peel between the third and fifth day. This is a natural response to the treatment as the damaged skin begins to shed.

Heaviest Peeling Between Day 5 and 7: The peeling will be most intense from days 5 to 7 after the Jessner peel. During this time, you may experience significant shedding of the old skin layers.

Initial Appearance May Worsen: Initially, your skin may appear worse due to a process called purging. As the dead skin is shed away, your skin might experience breakouts, and hyperpigmented areas may temporarily look darker.

Complete Shedding by Day 10: By day 10, the peeling process is typically complete, and your skin will have shed all the old, damaged layers. This reveals a fresh, rejuvenated complexion with improved texture and appearance.

Controlled Peeling and Shedding: The level of peeling and shedding can be controlled to some extent. By adjusting the treatment parameters, such as the number of layers applied during the Jessner peel, and providing appropriate post-treatment moisturization, we can minimize excessive peeling and promote a more comfortable recovery.

Focus on the End Result: While the immediate post-treatment period might involve some inconvenience, keep in mind the end result. After the peeling is over, you'll be left with beautiful, younger-looking skin that makes the Jessner peel worthwhile.

Individual Variations: It's essential to remember that individual healing rates can vary. Some individuals may experience milder peeling, while others might have more intense shedding. Following post-treatment instructions diligently will help optimize the outcome.

Be Patient and Embrace the Process: Jessner peels can deliver remarkable skin rejuvenation, but patience is key. Embrace the process, knowing that the temporary inconvenience will lead to long-lasting and impressive results for your complexion.

Always consult with your skincare professional before undergoing a Jessner peel to discuss your specific skin concerns and ensure a safe and effective treatment plan.

The number of treatments needed for optimal results with a chemical peel can vary depending on individual skin concerns and goals. In general, a series of 4 to 6 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is typically recommended. However, the exact number of sessions will be determined based on factors such as the severity of the skin condition being treated, the desired outcome, and individual skin response to the peel.

During the initial consultation with your skincare professional, they will assess your skin, discuss your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. They will also advise you on the recommended number of treatments required to achieve the best possible results.

Consistency and following the treatment schedule are essential for achieving the desired outcome and maintaining the improvements in your skin's appearance and texture.

Chemical peels offer a wide range of benefits for the skin and are a popular choice for addressing various skin concerns. Some of the key benefits of chemical peels include:

Improved Skin Texture: Chemical peels promote exfoliation, removing dead skin cells and revealing smoother and more refined skin texture.

Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Peels stimulate collagen production, which can help diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, resulting in a more youthful complexion.

Even Skin Tone: Chemical peels can effectively lighten dark spots, sunspots, and melasma, promoting a more even skin tone.

Acne and Breakout Control: Peels can unclog pores, reduce acne breakouts, and improve the overall clarity of the skin.

Reduced Hyperpigmentation: Peels can address hyperpigmentation, such as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or age spots, for a more balanced complexion.

Minimized Appearance of Scars: Certain peels can help reduce the appearance of mild scars, such as acne scars or superficial scars.

Boosted Radiance: By promoting cell turnover and revealing fresh skin, chemical peels enhance the skin's natural radiance and glow.

Improved Skin Hydration: Some chemical peels also have humectant properties, helping to retain moisture in the skin and improve hydration levels.

Enhanced Product Absorption: After a chemical peel, the skin's surface is renewed, allowing better penetration and absorption of skincare products.

Prevention and Maintenance: Regular chemical peel treatments can help prevent future skin issues and maintain a healthy and vibrant complexion.

Customizable Treatments: Chemical peels come in different strengths, allowing skincare professionals to tailor treatments to individual skin types and concerns.

One Week Before the Peel:

1. Discontinue Retinol and Vitamin A: Refrain from using any topical prescriptions or products containing Retinol or Vitamin A for one week before the peel. These ingredients can increase skin sensitivity and may interfere with the treatment.

2. Avoid Hair Removal Treatments: Steer clear of waxing, electrolysis, hair removal creams, and laser hair removal treatments during the week leading up to the peel. Such procedures can cause skin irritation and may make the skin more susceptible to post-peel reactions.

3. Protect from Sun Exposure: Minimize sun exposure and avoid tanning beds to prevent skin sensitivity. Sunburned or sun-damaged skin may not be suitable for a chemical peel.

4. Delay Botox and Fillers: Refrain from receiving Botox or dermal filler injections at least one week before the peel. Combining these treatments too close to a chemical peel can increase the risk of adverse reactions.

5. Avoid Other Facial or Peel Treatments: Do not undergo any other facial or peel treatments within the week leading up to your scheduled chemical peel. This is to prevent potential skin overexfoliation or irritation.

Day of Your Peel:

1. Avoid AHA, BHA, and Benzoyl Peroxide: On the day of the peel, avoid using products containing alpha hydroxy acids (AHA), beta hydroxy acids (BHA), or benzoyl peroxide. These ingredients can exacerbate skin sensitivity during the treatment.

2. Cease Exfoliating Products: Discontinue the use of any exfoliating products that may be drying or irritating to the skin. These products can compromise the skin's barrier and lead to discomfort during the peel.

3. **Men, Avoid Shaving:** If you're a man, it's advisable to avoid shaving on the day of the peel. Shaving can cause micro-abrasions on the skin, making it more sensitive to the peel's active ingredients.

Important Post-Treatment Instructions:

That evening - leave the Jessner Peel on all night. 

Avoid Picking the Skin: Resist the urge to pick at the skin during the peeling process. Premature removal can lead to prolonged healing, infection, and potential scarring.

Day 1-2: In the morning, wash your face and apply sunscreen if exposed to direct sunlight. For best results opt for a mineral powder sunscreen.

Avoid touching the skin excessively. The skin may appear frosted until lubricant is applied, and it may resemble a slight sunburn. Avoid heat and excessive sweating during the first 2 days. Refrain from using makeup or shaving until the peeling process is complete.

Evening of Day 1-2: Gently cleanse your face.

Day 3: Gently cleanse your face twice a day with a mild natural cleanser. Avoid rubbing the skin, as it may feel tight and dry. 

Day 4-6: Continue cleansing twice a day and use sunscreen when exposed to direct sunlight, consider a hat. During peeling, the skin may feel tight, but never attempt to peel off the skin; allow it to shed naturally.

Day 7-8:The peeling process typically completes by day 7 or 8. Once skin sensitivity diminishes, you may resume your normal, gentle, and acid-free skincare routine.

Day 8-10: The peeling should be complete by this time. You can gently exfoliate your face to remove any remaining dead skin cells.

Makeup can be worn if the skin is no longer shedding.
