Jessner Resurfacing Peel

Overview

The Medi MD Jessner Peel is a powerhouse formulation consisting of a precise, synergistic blend of three primary active agents: 14% Salicylic Acid, 14% Lactic Acid, and 14% Resorcinol. Each component plays a specific role in cellular transformation. The Salicylic Acid acts as a powerful lipophilic exfoliant to clear sebum; the Lactic Acid acts as a keratolytic agent while drawing hydration into the deeper layers; and the Resorcinol breaks down rough, hardened skin proteins. Together, they create a medium-depth peel that causes the old, damaged epidermal layers to flake away over several days, forcing the body to rapidly produce a fresh, flawless, and tightly structured new skin barrier.

Benefits

• Deep Pore Cleansing: Salicylic acid penetrates oil glands to break up deep-seated impactions and eliminate active acne.
• Advanced Pigment Correction: Lactic acid and resorcinol work synergistically to break down heavy melanin deposits and sun damage.
• Scar Remodelling: Softens the appearance of post-acne scarring, deep textural irregularities, and structural wrinkles.
• Intense Resurfacing: Promotes a complete renewal of the top skin layers, leaving a completely fresh, refined complexion.
• Customisable Depth: Can be layered by the practitioner to target specific areas of concern safely and effectively.

Treatment Process

1. 1Clinical Cleansing: The skin undergoes a thorough double-cleanse to eliminate lipids and topical debris.
2. 2Degreasing Prep: A potent clinical prep solution is applied to thoroughly remove oil, ensuring deep, uniform penetration of the Jessner solution.
3. 3Application: The Jessner peel is applied in successive layers based on your skin's tolerance and clinical goals. A distinct frosting (temporary whitening of the skin) and a sharp, warm sensation are normal.
4. 4Self-Neutralizing Removal: The Jessner peel is a self-neutralizing formula. It is carefully monitored until it stabilizes, then cooled and wiped down with soothing compresses.
5. 5Post-Treatment Protection: The skin is sealed with an advanced barrier recovery balm and a broad-spectrum, physical SPF block.

Aftercare

• Because the Jessner peel induces genuine medium-depth resurfacing, meticulous adherence to aftercare for 7 to 10 days is vital:
• Photoprotection: Strict UV avoidance is required. Wear a physical SPF 50 daily and avoid direct sunlight entirely during the peeling phase.
• Gentle Hygiene: Use only cool water and a very mild, lipid-replenishing cleanser. Pat dry gently; do not rub with towels.
• Barrier Support: Apply the prescribed occlusive recovery balm multiple times a day to manage dryness and peeling skin.
• Mechanical Abstinence: Do not peel, pick, or pull loose skin. Allow the shedding process to happen organically to avoid permanent scarring or hyperpigmentation.
• Cosmetics: Do not apply any makeup until the skin has completely finished peeling (typically 3 to 5 days post-treatment).
• Physical Exertion: Avoid all forms of exercise, saunas, hot showers, and heavy sweating for 72 hours.
