The Modified Jessner's Peel—significant results with minimal irritation

A traditional Jessner’s peel is a combination of 14g of salicylic acid, 14g of resorcinol, and 14g of lactic acid in an ethanol solution.  Most modern Jessner’s have been modified with fewer grams of each ingredient to lessen the potential side effects of the peel, which may include mild peeling and redness. 

 Modified Jessner’s peels are widely used to treat pigment concerns as they penetrate the skin evenly and cause the cells to turn over.  At times, retinoic acid can be applied to strengthen the effect of the peel.  Those who are allergic to salicylic acid (found in aspirin) or resorcinol (a phenolic compound) should not have the peel.

Zel Skin & Laser Specialists offer two versions of the modified Jessner’s peel, the Vitalize Peel and the Rejuvenize Peel.  Consult your Zel esthetician to see if these peels are right for you. Call 952-929-8888.
