I went to a spa and had a Jessner Peel. I did not get all the peeling they said I would. They told me after the third day if I did not have much peeling I could go back in for a thicker layer, I did not have the peeling expected but, was not able to go back in due to an emergency. I am interested in trying the at home kit but, read that you need to do at least 6 treatments to get better results. How long should I wait before treatments if I decide to do that at home tx. Thanks

Did the person who did your peel explain to you how to take care of your skin after the Jessner's peel? Post-peel care can be as important as the procedure it self. It sound like you are very dry. Consider moisturizing with pertolatum about 4 times a day but also talk to a doctor.
Thank you for your question. I wouldn't recommend doing any peel by yourself unless you know what you're doing. Peels can be good and bad for your skin. I would recommend being treated under the supervision of a Board Certified Dermatologist for safest and best treatment option. I...
RELAX. Skin usually turns red, then brown/black after Jessner's peel. This lasts a few days & then starts to peel off on its own, starting around the mouth. Just wash your face as usual , & apply moisturizers liberally. DO NOT PEEL the skin yourself.
