FOCUS ON the Jessner Peel
WHAT IS A JESSNER PEEL?
A Jessner Peel is a mild medical skin peel that takes away the skin’s damaged outer layers to produce smoother, tighter and younger-looking skin. Dr. Max Jessner, a German-American dermatologist, created the Jessner peel solution. It is combination of 3 fruit acids mixed together: 14% lactic acid, 14% resorcinal and 14% salicyclic acid in an alcohol base.
“This is a very popular peel due to the mild percentages associated with the peel formulation. It doesn’t penetrate as deeply as other chemical peels.”
- Dr. Crawford Dobson, Medical Director, Euphoria Wellness Spa
WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE?
The treatment time is approximately 45 minutes and performed in a private spa facial room at Euphoria Wellness Spa by a trained specialist.
- The skin is cleansed with a botanical natural wash.
- Toner is applied.
- A protective gel is applied under the eye area and on the lips.
- The peel formulation is carefully applied. (A fan or cooling technique is used to reduce the sensation of heat.)
- The peel is given time to activate. Some “frosting” will appear (a glaze on the skin) once the peel has neutralized.
- The peel formulation is removed and a special moisturizer is applied.
- Over the next week cleanse with very gentle soap and use a gentle moisturizer with an SPF 30. Makeup can still be applied. Avoid sun exposure.
WHAT IS THE TYPICAL PEELING EFFECT?
- Day One: No peeling. Your face may feel a bit dry. Your skin will have a very nice glow.
- Day Two: Your face will feel dry and a bit tight. Some peeling may be seen.
- Day Three: Typically, most of the peeling will occur on this day. It is not uncomfortable. You may wish to stay closer to home since your skin will peel as if you were shedding dry skin from a sunburn.
- Day Four: Minimal peeling, if any. Continue to apply moisturizer with a high SPF and use mild soap to wash.
WHAT IS THE RESULT?
Jessner peels at Euphoria Wellness Spa can help to:
- reduce signs of aging
- diminish hyperpigmentation
- diminish large pores
- treat acne concerns, including comedones
- brighten complexion
- promote exfoliation of your skin’s surface layers

WHAT IS THE FREQUENCY OF THIS TREATMENT?
