What is Jessner?

- Lactic acid is a hydrating & exfoliating acid.
- Salicylic acid is a keratolytic & penetrates the oil gland. It is also anti-inflammatory.
- Resorcinol potentiates penetration of both acids into the skin.

We also perform medium to deep peels. This is more involved & is performed under sedation. Downtime ranges from 8 to 14 days.

Cosmelan & Dermamelan peels are best, however downtime varies from 4 to 10 days. Other peels for pigment including glycolic & low concentrations of TCA
Dermatologists prefer lasers as they are more effective & cost less than peels (in the context of pigmentation). Jessner peeling has been reported to reduce melasma pigmentation, however this is the exception rather than the rule.
