The Science

The Jessner
Peel

Our medium-depth Jessner peel combines three acids that work below the surface of your skin and start its natural renewal process. Your skin ends up smoother, clearer, and brighter.

Each acid has its own job:

Targeted Results

What It
Treats

Our chemical peels make a visible difference to several common skin concerns.

Hyperpigmentation

Fades dark spots, melasma, and uneven patches caused by sun exposure, hormones, or post-inflammatory marks.

Acne Scars

Speeds up cell turnover and prompts new collagen, which smooths pitted or raised scars.

Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Removing damaged outer layers softens fine lines and helps firmer new skin grow in.

Sun Damage

Removes sun-damaged cells so the healthier skin underneath shows through, clearer and younger looking.

Dull Skin

Clears away the buildup of dead cells that makes skin look tired and dull, and brings back your natural glow right away.

Texture & Pores

Clears congestion so pores look smaller, and helps the surface renew smoother and tighter.

Before Your Peel

Pre-Care
Essentials

In the days before your peel, keep your skincare routine simple and protect your skin so it's calm and healthy when you come in.

Your Recovery

The Peel
Journey

Here's what to expect as your skin recovers, day by day.

Treatment Day

Mild Warmth & Tightness

Right after your peel, your skin may feel warm and a little tight, with a mild pink flush. That's normal and means the peel is working. Most clients say it feels like a light sunburn.

What To Do

  • Apply the gentle moisturizer from your kit
  • Avoid washing your face for 6 hours
  • Skip makeup for the first 24 hours
  • Stay out of direct sun

The Tightening Phase

Skin Feels Tight & May Darken

Your skin will feel tighter and may look slightly darker or bronzed as it gets ready to shed its outer layers. Try not to exfoliate or pick at it.

What To Do

  • Keep skin hydrated with your aftercare moisturizer
  • Avoid direct sun exposure
  • Use only a gentle, sulfate-free cleanser
  • No active products (retinol, acids, vitamin C)

Peeling Begins

Visible Flaking Starts

Your skin starts to flake and peel, beginning around the mouth and chin and spreading outward. It can look dramatic, but it means fresh, healthy skin is coming through underneath.

What To Do

  • Do NOT pick, pull, or peel flaking skin
  • Let skin shed naturally
  • Continue gentle cleanser & moisturizer
  • Apply SPF 30+ before any sun exposure

Active Renewal

New Skin Emerging

Most of the peeling happens now, as old, damaged layers come off and new skin replaces them. You'll start to notice smoother texture, brighter tone, and dark spots and fine lines that are less visible.

What To Do

  • Continue your gentle skincare routine
  • Always wear SPF 30+ outdoors
  • Drink plenty of water
  • Avoid strenuous exercise that causes heavy sweating

The Reveal

Your Fresh, Renewed Skin

The peeling is finished and your new skin is fully visible: smoother, more even in tone, and brighter. Results keep improving over the next few weeks as your skin makes more collagen.

Going Forward

  • Continue daily SPF to protect your results
  • Gradually reintroduce your normal skincare
  • Schedule your next peel in 4-6 weeks for best results
  • Enjoy your glow

FAQ

Know Before
You Peel

Answers to common questions before your first chemical peel.

A Jessner peel is a medium-depth chemical peel that combines three active ingredients: salicylic acid, lactic acid, and resorcinol. Together they exfoliate damaged layers of skin and stimulate cell renewal, which leaves your complexion brighter and more even.

Most clients feel a mild tingling or warmth while the peel is applied, similar to a light sunburn. It fades shortly after the peel is neutralized, and we check on your comfort throughout the treatment.

The full peeling cycle takes about 7-14 days. Visible flaking usually starts around day 4 and clears up within a week. Most clients schedule their peel around their social plans, though many feel fine going about their day within a few days.

Many clients see a noticeable improvement after one session. For deeper concerns like stubborn hyperpigmentation or acne scarring, a series of 3-6 peels spaced 4-6 weeks apart usually works best. We'll put together a plan based on your goals.

Chemical peels are not recommended for those who are pregnant or nursing, have active cold sores or open wounds, are currently using Accutane, or have had recent laser treatments. We'll review your history during consultation to ensure a peel is right for you.

Yes. Peels work well alongside treatments like HydraFacials and microneedling as part of a broader skincare plan. The treatments need to be spaced out so your skin can heal in between, and your provider will tell you how far apart to schedule them.

Every peel comes with an aftercare kit: a gentle cleanser, a healing moisturizer, and SPF. We chose these products to help your skin recover and to get the most from your treatment.
