Jessner's Peel:
 

This is a medium depth peel 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.  These components are put together because they help to exfoliate the outer layers of your skin, which helps to promote the natural peeling of the top layer(s) after a few days. 

Your nurse 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 or she 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). you may have several layers applied depending.  You may develop a whitened look, known as "frosting" that will dissipate within a few hours.  Then your nurse will neutralize the acid and remove your solution with cool water.  Your nurse may apply a calming mask and you will be sent home.  You will peel and flake for about 7 days and turn pink or brown afterwards.  After you heal nice, smooth skin will be revealed.

The Jessner peel is a skin treatment method that has many faithful fans, thanks to the fact that it can be used on a wide variety of skin types and to treat a lot of different skin problems.  These include anywhere from mild to very severe acne, wrinkling and damage from sun exposure.  This type of peel enhances and improves the overall quality of your skin.
