Jessner chemical peeling: description of the procedure and recommendations from specialists


Peculiarities

Peels using chemical components are designed to correct various facial skin imperfections. These are acne, sunburn, facial wrinkles, problems with skin tone and texture.

During the procedure, the following active substances are used: glycolic or salicylic acid, Jessner's solution, trichloroacetic acid or phenol.


Various active substances can be used during the procedure

The drug used is placed on the treated area, left for a certain period of time, and then removed. As a result, you can get rid of dead skin particles, which allows you to rejuvenate your skin.

On a note! TCA and Jessner peels are the most famous types of peels using chemical components.

This event is extremely important for the skin, which cannot be sufficiently elastic and elastic due to age-related changes. Chemical peeling is also relevant for skin suffering from wrinkles caused by facial movements.

All of these disadvantages are due to the fact that with age, the rapid destruction of collagen and elastin begins. Every day, young cells are restored in the skin structures.


The problem most often is age

Over time, a hardened, naturally occurring stratum corneum forms. The procedure we are considering allows you to quite gently but effectively control the size of this layer. Thanks to this, young cells can help the skin stay young and healthy.

Of course, the Jessner peel also has a drawback: it cannot be used frequently, as this will lead to very thin skin and turgor problems. And this leads to the formation of a network of wrinkles and sagging skin in areas prone to this problem (for example, the lower eyelid).


The procedure has its disadvantages

On a note! This procedure is contraindicated for elderly clients, as they may suffer from bright pigment spots upon completion.

Components included in the peeling

The procedure we are considering is quite gentle on the surface of the skin. It is often used as a superficial type, but some specialists can also use it for deeper effects. Therefore, the drugs used may differ significantly.

If we consider the traditional recipe, the composition includes resorcinol, acetylsalicylic and purified lactic acid. In this case, based on the required depth of exposure, you can change the concentration of lactic acid: from 14 to 20%.


Changes can be made to the lactic acid concentration

This substance copes well with inflammatory processes occurring in the skin and stimulates the production of vital moisture.

On a note! The strength of the effect is directly related to the number of layers of the drug applied to the epidermal part of the skin.

Acetylsalicylic acid stimulates the removal of keratinized epithelial cells. This process is called exfoliation. Acting together with lactic acid, this substance allows you to get rid of pathogenic microorganisms and causative agents of various infections.

Resorcinol is used for similar purposes - to kill bacteria and have a tanning effect on the skin. Therefore, this substance is very often used in the correction of various dermatological diseases.


Resorcinol kills bacteria

Improved Jessner peeling from the American company PCA

This company provides Jessner peeling with improved formulas. After the discovery of these compounds by American laboratories, professional cosmetology centers are sure to use them in their work.

HydroquinoneFree

Used for skin that reacts negatively to hydroquinone. Thanks to the combination of alpha and beta hydroxyl acids, it is possible to normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands, erase traces of acne from the skin, and improve its overall health. If a person suffers from acne or excessive pigmentation, has oily skin or shows signs of sun damage, the manifestations of these imperfections are minimized.


Hydroquinone Free

WithHydroquinone – contains acids and hydroquinone

Used if a person tolerates these components normally. It copes well with excessive skin pigmentation, removes melasma, treats acne and the traces left from it. Used for aging skin, excessive work of the sebaceous glands, problems with the color of the surface of the facial skin.

  • normalization of skin color so that it is even and beautiful;
  • effectively removing impurities from oily, dense skin, saturating it with useful substances, softening and healing;
  • getting rid of skin injuries caused by sun rays, various comedones and active acne.

The addition of resorcinol can even combat significant skin damage from the sun, severe pigmentation, signs of aging and skin scarring.

Exact instructions for performing a Jessner peel at home


The main idea of ​​peeling is three stages of skin cleansing. The depth of cleaning depends on the goals pursued and the condition of the skin.

  • The first stage is sufficient for traditional cleansing and stimulation of the skin's metabolic process.
  • The second stage is lifting and getting rid of wrinkles.
  • The third stage is the removal of serious wrinkles, deep acne, pigmentation, relief.

The procedure is based on the “three pillars” of peeling – cleansing, gradual application of acids, and their neutralization.

Selection of optimal depth of exposure

If only a superficial effect is carried out, it will be enough to use one layer of the composition containing the active components. To prevent skin from being burned, you need to apply protective products immediately after rinsing.

This type of peeling is the right choice when you need to normalize the water balance in the epidermal layers of the skin, make it visually beautiful - correct not too bright expression wrinkles, normalize the color, making it uniform.

On a note! The event does not cause pain, there is also no strong discomfort, so clients tolerate it well.


This procedure is not accompanied by pain

During the recovery period, minor peeling of the skin may occur. However, you should not worry about this - this effect shows that the upper layers of the skin are actively regenerating. After a short amount of time everything will return to normal.

If a medium peel is performed, the specialist uses three layers of a preparation containing active ingredients. Apply it at short intervals - approximately once every 5 minutes.


Medium peeling requires three layers of the product.

In general, the mixture used for peeling should remain on the skin for up to twenty minutes. When the last layer is applied, the composition is left for another minute and then washed off.

The procedure we are considering allows you to get rid of the obvious manifestations of skin aging, which include deep wrinkles, excessive pigmentation, scars and small scars.

About five days are allotted for rehabilitation; clients note very severe peeling of the skin. This is normal.


Skin may peel

On a note! There are cases when the client is prescribed up to five layers of peeling preparation. Then the impact is considered profound. However, this is not a very common occurrence.

The drug used allows you to get rid of even very deep wrinkles on the skin of the face and very noticeable age spots. The skin color is normalized, becoming uniform, and the oval of the face becomes more toned.

As a disadvantage of this procedure, one can note a rather long recovery, combined with not the most pleasant side effects - the skin turns red and white spots appear on it. Possible pain. The condition will return to normal in a couple of weeks, and all of these manifestations will disappear without consequences or outside intervention.


It takes a long time to recover

Carrying out the procedure

On the day of the procedure, the patient is not recommended to wear makeup or use any cosmetic care products. The intervention involves sequentially performing the following actions:

  1. Superficial cleansing using a mild product with a neutral ph. The detergent composition does not require long exposure: application, removal by rinsing with warm water.
  2. Degreasing the surface. They use special formulations with the ability to break down lipids, regular alcohol or lotions containing it.
  3. Application of the active composition. The active substance is distributed over dry skin. The lip area and eyelids are not affected. The product should cover the surface evenly. Burning and tingling may occur. Moderate symptoms are acceptable. Within 2–5 minutes, white crystals form on the surface.
  4. Increasing the depth of impact. To perform a medium, deep version of the Jessner peel, you will need to apply 2–5 layers of the composition. After the first layer has dried (6–10 minutes), the process is repeated. It is recommended to stop after applying 5 layers. The cosmetologist adjusts the depth of exposure, focusing on the skin's reaction.
  5. Ending the process. After the last layer has dried, the composition is neutralized, washed off or left to act for up to 12 hours. It all depends on the condition of the patient’s skin and the product used. Typically, peeling is sealed with a special composition, which is characterized by an analgesic, soothing, and antiseptic effect. After waiting the time specified by the cosmetologist (how long to keep is determined individually), the patient will have to independently wash off the remaining substance with water. The cleansed skin is lubricated with a healing agent (Panthenol, Solcoseryl) or a cream recommended by the doctor.

The end of the Jesner cleansing session in the cosmetologist’s office is an explanation of the principles of further skin care. The doctor indicates a list of restrictions and stipulates rules of behavior during the recovery period.

Composition specifics

Experts talk about the following properties of the substances included in the preparation used for peeling.

  1. Salicylic acid. It perfectly kills pathogenic microorganisms in the skin, dries it a little, and removes excess sebum. It provokes the destruction of molecular intercellular connections, forcing the body to synthesize keratin in sufficient quantities.
  2. Lactic acid. Enriches skin structures with moisture, softens, produces collagen fibers. In addition, lactic acid is involved in the production of moisture, its distribution and circulation throughout the body.
  3. Resorcinol. This substance is necessary for the influence of salicylic and lactic acids to manifest itself to the proper extent and to enhance the results they provide. Resorcinol is also an excellent assistant in the correction of inflammatory processes and redness.


The components of the product are quite effective

How Jessner Peel works on the skin:

  • the use of lactic acid softens the stratum corneum of the epidermis, making it more susceptible to various influences;
  • moisture inside is bound, leaving the upper soft layers of the skin;
  • salicylic acid provokes exfoliation of dead cells;
  • Resorcinol increases the effect of the acids used and kills pathogenic microorganisms.


Skin becomes better after the procedure

Indications and contraindications

The peeling technique we are considering is suitable for both mature and young skin suffering from defects inherent in adolescence and youth.

Indications:

  • pimples and traces of them;
  • bright pigmentation of facial skin;
  • bright wrinkles provoked by facial expressions;
  • correction of scars and scarring;
  • freckles.


You can get rid of skin defects thanks to the procedure

Contraindications:

  • herpes;
  • diabetes;
  • cancer diseases;
  • problems with the functioning of the immune system;
  • women carrying a baby or breastfeeding it;
  • mental problems of various types.


Contraindications should be taken into account

On a note! If these contraindications are not taken into account, the client will suffer from various complications - there may be an exacerbation of herpes, diabetes or cancer, as well as an allergic reaction.

If you want to achieve the best result, you can combine the procedure we are considering with TCA peeling and biorevitalization. If you approach the issue systematically, your face will look beautiful, fit and young.

Prices and brands of peelings

The cost of one Jessner peeling procedure ranges from 1,500 to 6,000 rubles, depending on the category and prestige of the beauty salon.
The relatively low cost, coupled with high efficiency, makes Jessner peeling very popular both among clients and among cosmetologists. Its implementation does not require expensive equipment, and the procedure itself is very simple and short.

However, simplicity and accessibility pushes many patients to the “home option”, which they try to do on their own. Without experience and special knowledge of the structure of the skin, injuries and chemical burns may occur. Therefore, you should trust your face to professionals and not skimp on your own health and beauty.

Preparations that can be offered in a cosmetology clinic for Jessner peeling: Mediccontrolpeel (Tuscany Laboratory, Russia), Mediderma (Spain), Medpeel (Kira Labs, USA), Allura Esthetics (USA), PCA Skin (USA), Enerpeel (Italy ), NanoPeel (Seventy BG, Italy), Natura Bisse (Spain), Martinex (Russia).

Questions and answers

I want to go to warm countries during my vacation. Where can I go if I just recently used the Jessner peel?

After an event of this nature, you need to significantly reduce the time you spend under the sun. Research shows that you should avoid tanning for at least a month, although this is the minimum period. Better to save yourself even longer.


You should not stay in the sun for a long time for a month after the procedure.

I have been suffering from age spots for a long time. Can I use Jessner peel to get rid of my problem?

Pigment spots are exactly the problem that this type of peeling is designed to solve. This is due to the whitening effect of the procedure. However, you should know that cosmetology can offer you more effective ways to remove pigmentation. For example, you might want to look into laser resurfacing or ATP therapy.

How often will I have to visit a specialist for this type of peeling?

It is impossible to give a definite answer to this question. The cosmetologist will select the exact timing based on the specific problem and individual characteristics of the client. On average, three to six procedures are enough. You should maintain a gap of about a month between them.


You need to visit a specialist from time to time

Healing period

The severity of the condition after peeling using a milk-salicylic mixture depends on the individual reactions of the body and the depth of the effect performed. You may feel pain, itching, the skin takes on a pinkish, brownish-purple tint, the face looks unattractive: it swells, swells.

Usually the surface is covered with a thin film, under which redness is hidden - the result of a chemical burn. The outer crust gradually dries out and turns into a kind of brown shell or containing dark spots. This is a temporary phenomenon. After successful completion of rehabilitation (5–10 days), the skin becomes healthy and renewed.

Recovery photos by day

Proper skin care is important for proper recovery after peeling. The cosmetologist will warn against:

  • steaming (visiting a bathhouse, sauna, washing in hot water);
  • tanning (solarium, open sun);
  • active sweating (sports, physical work);
  • swimming in a pool, public or open water;
  • applying makeup (even foundation or usual cream is prohibited);
  • violation of the formed crust, tearing off pieces of exfoliating tissue.

Strict restrictions apply for up to 1 month after the procedure, but to obtain the highest quality results, it is better to abstain from prohibited activities for up to 2-3 months. You can return to using decorative cosmetics after complete exfoliation. The fact that your skin itches will have to be tolerated.

For proper skin care, avoid the use of regular creams and other cosmetics. Until the crusts completely disappear, it is recommended to care for the skin as follows: washing in slightly acidified water, applying to the surface (up to 5-6 times a day) a pharmaceutical version of regenerating ointments (Solcoseryl, Bepanten, Panthenol). This will help speed up the completion of the rehabilitation period.

Additionally, there is no need to smear the skin with anything. Regular use of sun protection becomes mandatory. The product should have a high SPF factor and should be applied when going outside in any weather, regardless of the planned duration of the walk.

Active peeling after Jessner peeling begins on days 2–3 and lasts up to 4–7 days.

Important! The deeper the impact, the longer and more painful the recovery. Compliance with restrictions and proper care will facilitate the process and protect against complications.

Jessner peeling protocol step by step

The steps of the procedure are as follows:

  1. Preparatory activities.
  2. Direct peeling.
  3. Care activities.

You should prepare for the procedure a couple of weeks in advance. To do this, you don’t have to go to a cosmetologist; you can do it at home after receiving doctor’s recommendations.

To make the skin soft and the active substances can work better, you need to wipe it with specialized lotions containing fruit acids. Before starting the treatment, the cosmetologist is required to do a test for allergies or individual intolerance to the components. To do this, cover the skin with the product used for several minutes. Then her condition is checked: there should be no rash or redness or swelling. Only then can you start peeling.


It is worth using creams and lotions that contain fruit acids

Important ! The procedure we are considering is recommended to be carried out only in good cosmetology clinics. The specialist must have sufficient skills in this area.

Deep effects are allowed to be carried out only by doctors, and medium effects – by experienced cosmetologists. If a superficial effect is necessary, you can independently purchase peeling products with various acids.

For example, many online stores or cosmetics stores offer ready-made compositions for Jessner peeling.

How to carry out the procedure at home

How to carry out the procedure at home

Chemical peels are the trump card of many modern beauty salons. But often those procedures for which women are willing to pay a large sum of money can be carried out independently. This type of exfoliation was no exception.

Answering the question of how to do a Jessner peel at home, it is worth noting that the process of doing a Jessner peel at home contains several stages.

Preparation

The initial stage consists of carrying out simple measures to prepare the skin for applying the cosmetic composition. To do this, 1-2 weeks before the procedure, cosmetologists recommend wiping your face twice a day with a special lotion containing a small percentage of fruit acids. This will soften the roughened top layer, as well as enhance the effect of the main acids used for chemical peeling.

A similar option could be a self-performed superficial peel, which has the same effect before the Jessner procedure. After the skin has been restored, it will be possible to move on to the main deep peeling. Already at the initial stage, do not forget about using sunscreen before going outside.

Choice of funds

Modern cosmetics manufacturers have made every effort to produce effective and safe products. Therefore, the original recipe can be supplemented with several more components.

To properly do a Jessner peel, you need to know how to choose components. Popular lines include products from the following companies:

  • Onmacabim is an Israeli company whose product range also includes a Jessner peeling product aimed at gentle and gentle cleansing of the skin. 50 ml of product costs 400-450 rubles, and many beauty salons prefer this series;
  • Mesoestetic specialists have created a hydro-glycerin formula for peeling. Relevant in the fight against wrinkles and scars. The composition already contains lactic, salicylic and citric acids. Action time - no more than 10 minutes, neutralized using a special product;
  • Jessner Solution Peel or Jessner's solution from Medpeel is a medium cleansing product that contains 3 classic ingredients (salicylic and lactic acids, resorcinol). For superficial peeling there is an analogue - delicate Fusion peeling;
  • Italian manufacturer Enerpeel has come up with a more potent formula called JR, which only takes a couple of minutes to apply, saving time without affecting performance. The frequency of use of JR is 2-3 times a year.

In addition to basic products, manufacturers produce a variety of restorative skin care products after the procedure.

Technique

Having chosen a suitable product or mixed the ingredients yourself in equal proportions, you can begin cleaning Jessner at home; peeling will not cause difficulties, but all manipulations must be performed carefully and carefully!

The algorithm of actions is as follows:

  • remove makeup, wash with milk or foam;
  • degrease the skin with alcohol or salicylic lotion;

Note! Those with dry skin should be careful when handling alcohol-containing products, as there is a high risk of drying out the dermis.

  • steam the skin so that the pores expand and the active peeling substances can penetrate deeper, thereby activating the processes of renewal and restoration in the deep layers of the epithelium;
  • Apply a thin and even layer of Jessner Peel to the cleaned area. When treating the face, you should move in the forehead-chin direction, without touching the mucous membranes;
  • for home use, it is advisable not to apply more than 2 layers of the product;
  • in general, the product is on the face for 15-20 minutes;
  • the interval between applying layers is 5-10 minutes.

Whether to wash off the product or whether to leave the Jenssner peeling is a pressing question. The answer is simple: at home it is better to remove the mixture after the specified time. This is done using special foams to easily remove chemical particles.

In beauty salons, the composition may not be washed off, but the cosmetologist applies a soothing mask on top of it. Depending on the peeling solution applied, the patient must remove it independently after 4-6 hours and apply a moisturizing mask.

How is peeling performed?

When it is determined that the client’s body reacts normally to the composition used, the cosmetologist or doctor will cleanse the top layer of skin, ridding it of excess fat. After this, a peeling agent is used. If the skin begins to burn or itches, this is normal - the active ingredients have simply begun to take effect.

When the drug dries, a special mask is used with a calming and analgesic effect.

After 3-5 hours it is necessary to wash off the drug. The client does this independently, at home.


Preparations and masks alleviate skin condition during the procedure

On a note! The time allotted for the procedure is related to the degree of exposure to the active components, as well as the number of layers used.

A new layer is applied five minutes after the previous one. In general, peeling can take up to an hour.

After exposure, the skin turns red, and some areas may turn white. There is no need to worry about this. The next day the skin changes color to brownish and a thick film appears.

If you have had a superficial peel, it will take a week for your skin to normalize. Medium peeling takes a couple of weeks, and deep peeling takes about a month.


Depending on the type of peeling, the rehabilitation period varies

On a note! It is necessary to strictly follow all the advice of your specialist, take care of the treated skin, treat it with special creams that will enrich it with moisture and stimulate regeneration.

If a film appears on the skin, you should not tear it off with your own hands. It will come off on its own after a few days, without the need for any outside help.

The final effect can be observed after half a month. The appearance will improve significantly: the skin is fresh, youthful, minor defects such as small wrinkles, age spots, large pores, scars and scarring will be a thing of the past.

How many times should the Jessner peel be repeated for best results? For the effect to really last for a long time, you need to complete the full course, which usually consists of five to ten events. There should be at least a month between them.


Five or even ten treatments are required for best results

How is the session going?

Peeling takes place in the following stages:

  1. Preparation for the event.
  2. Skin peeling.
  3. Post-care.

After conducting a sensitivity test, the specialist will degrease the upper layer of the epidermis and apply a composition with acids. During their action, you will feel itching and burning on your face - this means that the acids have begun to work.

After the composition dries, a soothing and analgesic mask will be applied.

The duration of action of the composition lasts from 3 to 5 hours, the remaining substance is washed off independently, at home.

The time for Jessner peeling depends on the intensity of the action of acids (superficial, medium or deep type), on the number of layers of solution applied.

Each of them is applied at intervals of approximately 5 minutes. The total duration of the procedure can be up to 1 hour.

Performing a Jessner peel

The procedure itself is not painful, but there is a slight burning sensation.

Plastic surgeon Barry Weintraub

After a Jessner peel, the epidermis becomes red (in some cases, white areas may appear). The next day, the skin turns brown and becomes covered with a thick film.

The recovery period after superficial peeling is approximately 1 week. For medium – up to 2 weeks, and for deep – 3 weeks.

During this period, it is very important to strictly follow the doctor’s recommendations, care for damaged skin and nourish it with moisturizing and healing products.

Under no circumstances should the film that appears be removed by yourself. It will completely disappear a few days after the procedure without outside intervention.

Plastic surgeon Kenneth Francis

Final results will be visible in 10–14 days. The skin will look rested, refreshed, and small wrinkles, age spots, deep pores, scars and scars will disappear.

How many Jessner peel treatments are needed? In order to achieve the most lasting results, it is recommended to take a course that includes from 5 to 10 procedures with an interval of 30 days between sessions.

What complications can there be after peeling?

It is known that any peeling is designed to rid the skin of dead cells. The use of peeling with chemical components (and Jessner peeling is of this type) involves burn damage to the skin, after which the upper epidermal layer is torn off.

Unfortunately, it is not always possible to avoid complications with chemical peels. Problems that a client may encounter can be roughly divided into expected and unexpected.

Expected complications are those shortcomings that appear to one degree or another in a significant number of clients. These include the following:

  • erythema - redness of the skin that appears after peeling. The procedure we're looking at often leaves redness for several days;
  • peeling. There is no escape from this side effect; it is typical for peeling. After Jessner peeling, large-scale peeling occurs, which can be dealt with by using creams with a moisturizing effect;
  • swelling. This is a reaction at the vascular level on the part of the treated skin, because the effect of peeling provokes an increase in capillary permeability. Usually this complication appears on the second day after peeling and lasts about three days. A specialist with the proper level of qualifications always takes into account the specifics of the client’s skin when selecting formulations for the procedure. If everything is done correctly, the swelling may not be too severe;


    There is no need to be afraid of swelling if the procedure is performed by a specialist.

  • darkening of the skin. It goes away approximately a week after the procedure, going away along with the peeling;
  • increased skin sensitivity. This is also normal after a chemical peel. The skin is more susceptible to external influences. It is extremely rare for clients to note that this complication goes away after a year or more.

Unexpected complications of the Jessner peel. These are reactions that are not typical for this procedure. Such consequences can negatively affect the client’s appearance, and sometimes even worsen their overall health. These include the following:

  • complications of an infectious nature that are associated with improper disinfection of the skin before peeling. To correct this problem, antibiotics, ointments, and sometimes IVs or injections are used;
  • herpes. If a person has a herpes virus in his body, the procedure we are considering can provoke its manifestation. As a result, the skin becomes covered in rashes. The cosmetologist must know that the client has ever had herpes, which often returns. Then, during the event, it is necessary to take medications with an antiviral effect;


    Herpes may get worse due to Jessner peel

  • allergic reactions. In general, the preparations used for peeling do not provoke allergies very often. To avoid this complication, you need to conduct a test before the procedure. It is worth noting that after peeling, the skin remains sensitive for a long time, so it may itch, turn red, and sometimes rashes appear on it. If the client is prone to allergies, you need to weigh the pros and cons before a Jessner peel. After all, the problem that worries them can well be solved with other cosmetic products. However, if you want to carry out this particular peeling, the cosmetologist must prescribe a course of antihistamines before the procedure.


Allergies may occur during this procedure.
