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 hope this helps.
A combo Jessner / TCA peel probably should not be administered at home. Depending on TCA concentration, this would cause a pretty good medium depth peel. There are a lot of risks for scarring with a peel that deep. A dermatologist or plastic surgeon should be administering this.
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.
True scars will not respond well to these types of peels. However early red spots from acne are often mis-interpreted as scars, when they are really temporary stains which will go away in time. Vascular lasers can hurry this process along.
A Jessner's peel is a combination of 3 fruit acids mixed together to give you a wonderful light chemical peel. It is made up of 14% lactic acid, resorcinal and salicyclic acids and is done every 2 weeks for a series of 4-6 peels at $175 per peel for the face. Everyone should do a series yearly...
