“Jessner's peel worthless”
Jessner peel: NOT worth it
Cost: $160
Pain: Mild
Pain: Mild
Jessner peel satisfaction: Poor
My Jessner's peel was on Monday, on Thursday my skin started getting crinkly with little sheets coming off over the next few days. I thought this would have a better result than other types of facials I have tried since I could actually see that sheets of skin were getting exfoliated. It didn't do a thing for me.
For the days of looking bad with dirty looking skin and crinkly peeling skin, I could have had some sort of better deeper procedure from a doctor that gives some real results.

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?
