Jet Peel: What You Need to Know

Pros

• JetPeel delivers immediate results, with no downtime.
• It’s noninvasive and fully customizable, depending on your skin concerns and goals.
• The treatment is safe for all skin types and tones.

Cons

• The results of JetPeel are only temporary, so you'll have to continue getting monthly treatments to see ongoing benefits.
• Jet Peel does not result in any actual peeling, so if you’re looking to shed a layer of skin, consider a chemical peel or laser resurfacing.
• Jet Peel can be slightly uncomfortable.

Your provider starts by cleansing the skin, using a pressure wash of water and oxygen. The next step will be extractions or microdermabrasion, depending on your provider’s preference and your skin’s needs. 

Finally, you’ll choose the liquid for your JetPeel from a list of vitamins and medicines. You might choose a hyaluronic, salicylic, or glycolic acid, to address signs of aging; vitamin C, for brightening; or vitamin B, to reduce rosacea. Your provider will use a pen-like device to spray the oxygen-and-liquid blend onto your face. It doesn’t hurt, but the air can feel sharp or cold. From start to finish, the whole process takes only a few minutes.

Avoid washing your skin or putting on any makeup for at least six hours afterward so that the nutrients can really seep into the dermis.

There are no serious side effects of JetPeel, but since it uses such high pressure, you might notice redness or irritation following the treatment. Both should subside within a few hours. Despite its name, the facial doesn’t actually result in any peeling; if you select glycolic acid or a similar liquid, you might notice some shedding in the days following, but that’s really it.

Both JetPeel and microdermabrasion can remove impurities, and the two can be used together. But they have a few major differences. Microdermabrasion uses fine crystals and suction to exfoliate, removing blackheads and dead skin along the way. JetPeel exfoliates much more gently, cleansing and hydrating the skin. Additionally, microdermabrasion is not recommended for anyone with sensitive skin, rosacea, or acne. JetPeel is suitable for all skin types.

HydraFacial also delivers nutrients to the skin, but like microdermabrasion, it uses the power of suction to remove impurities. It focuses on exfoliation first and infusion second. JetPeel, on the other hand, removes debris while pushing nutrients deep into the dermis.
