How does the Jessner Peel work?
Commonly Asked Questions
The Jessner peel is a medium peel, so you may feel burning or stinging. A hand-held fan is provided to ease the burning.
After the peel, your skin may continue to burn or sting for 20 minutes or more. Your skin will be red, swollen, and tight for the first 24 hours or so. After that, the swelling will go down and your skin will begin peeling.
As with most procedures, there are side effects, and Dr Musa will discuss these with you.
While most patients will experience some side effects, complications are more common among people with darker skin tones. These include:
- redness and swelling
- peeling
- stinging or burning
Rare complications include:
- permanent darkening or lightening of the skin
- scarring or infection
There is none!
You can resume activities straight after the peel, though some stinging may persist afterwards.
Your skin may darken or even develop brown patches during this time, but the spots rarely stay after the skin has healed. Once the skin begins peeling off, new smooth skin will be revealed.
It can take 5-7 days after this medium peel to develop new skin. Generally, it will take 7–14 days to heal completely and see the full results of the peel.
