These chemical peels are a skin smoothing procedure that uses an exfoliating chemical to remove the top layer of skin. There are three categories of chemical peels based on how deeply the chemical permeates the skin. Each category can help with a variety of skin conditions.
Superficial Chemical Peels permeate only the topmost layer of skin, the epidermis. These can be used to reduce the appearance of fine lines, unclog pores, and treat mild acne, improve skin tone by reducing hyperpigmentation and promote skin hydration. Light peels can be used as an in office maintenance treatment as often as every two to five weeks.
Medium Depth Chemical Peels
Penetrate the epidermis and part of the next layer, called the dermis.
For this reason, they should only be done by a professional aesthetician or dermatologist. Medium chemical peels can treat more pronounced wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin tone. They may need to be repeated several times in a series to obtain the desired effect and can be used regularly for maintenance every 3 to 9 months.
Deep Chemical Peels
Travel into the mid to lower layers of the dermis and are used to treat moderately deep wrinkles and scars. Deep chemical peels can only be performed by a dermatologist. They can be repeated but not as frequently as other types of peels.
Jessner Peel is considered a medium depth peel and our favorite one to use on most of our clients here. It helps minimize the appearance of mild to moderate hyperpigmentation and improve the appearance of oily, blemish prone skin. Jessners' solution combines beta hydroxy Salicylic Acid with alpha hydroxy lactic acid and resorcinol.
Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid that in addition to exfoliating and smoothing the skin, at higher concentrations inhibits melanin production, giving it skin brightening effects.
