What to Expect and Aftercare Guide

The Jessner peel is a medium-depth chemical peel that helps improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. Here’s what you can expect during the process and how to care for your skin after the treatment for the best results.

What to Expect After Your Jessner Peel Initial Redness and Tingling

  • Initial Redness and Tingling: Mild redness, tingling, or a warm sensation is normal immediately after the peel.
  • Peeling and Flaking: Skin usually starts peeling within 2-4 days post-treatment, lasting about 5-7 days. The peeling can vary from mild flaking to more noticeable shedding.
  • Skin Tightness: You may feel a sense of tightness or dryness as the skin begins to exfoliate.
  • Improvement in Skin Texture and Radiance: After peeling, you’ll notice smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin. Full results typically appear around 2-4 weeks post-treatment.

What to Expect After Your Jessner Peel Initial Redness and Tingling

  1. Avoid Touching or Picking at the Skin: Allow the skin to peel naturally to prevent scarring and irritation.
  2. Use a Gentle Cleanser: Cleanse with a mild, non-abrasive cleanser. Avoid harsh scrubs, exfoliants, and active ingredients like retinoids and acids until your skin has fully healed.
  3. Keep Skin Hydrated: Apply a gentle, hydrating moisturizer as recommended to soothe and hydrate your skin.
  4. Avoid Sun Exposure: Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 1-2 weeks and use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily.
  5. Avoid Heat and Excessive Sweating: Avoid hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, and intense exercise for 48-72 hours post-peel.
  6. Avoid Makeup for 24-48 Hours: Give your skin time to heal without added irritation from makeup.
  7. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to support skin hydration from within.
