“Jessner's Peel Worthless”

There are modified types of Jessner's Peels ... Do you know which one you had? I have had the original and a modified peel... I preferred the original.

I work for a skin care company that carries a Jessner's Peel. We tell our service providers to sell chemical peels in packages ONLY! You will not get great results with just one peel....unless you do a TCA. Jessner's peels normally require 6 to see optimal results, but you should see fairly good results by the fourth peel. Hope this helps...hang in there....they really GREAT peels!

the first time I had it done, minimal results for all the peeling I thought maybe it was a waste. But the esthetician told me you need to do several, so I took her word for it that it was not a sales ploy. She was right; I am on peel #3 now and my skin is noticeably different. It glows, it is lovely and I don't bother with foundation, just a bronzer. Others have commented so I know it looks good and I plan to do at least three more. One peel is not going to accomplish much.

I paid $150 for my Jesner's and it was well worth it! I have had 3, and it is getting better all of the time!

Jessner's are less irritating than deep phenol peels, and they do produce results. I agree that you may need several before you will see a huge difference, but it will be worthwhile. Hang in there.

how long do you normally wait in-between the Jessner's peels?

Maybe your expectations were too high about what the jessner peel would do for you? I had had the jessner done one time about a year ago, had dark patches, wrinkles, and peely skin for a week and my skin looked fantastic afterwards. I'm 34 and have enlarged oily pores and occasional ace. My pores look much smaller now and most of the superficial acne scarring I had went away. I even started getting carded again at the bars! I just got another jessner peel because I had another bout of acne and got new scars. They're gone again now though since I had my second jessner.

I love Jessner's! The results are amazing. The exfoliation process is a necessary step if you want to correct sun damage, or help with lines. My esthetician gives me a post treatment kit that lasts for the week following my peel. Its something you have to plan ahead for because of the flakiness and peeling. But after 5 days or so - it looks great!
