The exfoliation procedure involves the removal of keratinized cells, affecting different dermal levels. As a result of superficial peeling, it is possible to whiten pigmentation and refresh the skin. Median - starts renewal processes, stimulates collagen synthesis, improves lymphatic drainage functions. Deep peeling is comparable to the effect of plastic surgery; it helps smooth out wrinkles of varying degrees, get rid of deep scars, and smooth out bumpy relief. To achieve the desired aesthetic goals, it is necessary to follow the rules of rehabilitation. It is important for patients to know what to apply to their face after peeling to quickly restore the skin.
General recommendations during the post-peeling period
The procedure is performed by a cosmetologist in an aesthetic medicine salon or clinic. We use professional products that allow us to solve a whole range of problems. The composition is selected individually, depending on the needs of the skin. After peeling, the following phenomena are observed:

Jessner Peel Procedure Protocol
Although Jessner peeling is a completely safe procedure, before starting it you need to familiarize yourself with a number of contraindications. These include: allergies to components in the drug, pregnancy and lactation, diabetes mellitus, cancer, autoimmune diseases, skin hypersensitivity, acute fungal infections (herpes, dermatosis, etc.), purulent-inflammatory process in the form of boils or impetigo , the presence of various lesions on the skin in the form of wounds or cracks, rosacea, papillomavirus in the form of large moles, sunburn, elevated body temperature, the period of chemotherapy, the use of medications for the treatment of acne.
Jessner peeling is allowed only in the autumn-winter period, when solar activity is low. Before and after the peeling procedure, you should not sunbathe in the sun or in a solarium for more than a month. Those with very dark skin should undergo this peeling with extreme caution.
Preparatory stage
Any procedure of this level requires preliminary preparation and consultation with a specialist. Depending on your problem, treatment options may be varied by your healthcare provider. As a rule, in order to better prepare the skin of the face and thereby somewhat alleviate the active peeling process, you can undergo 1-2 peeling sessions in the salon or select products containing fruit acids for home care. The duration of such preparation is decided individually in the cosmetologist’s office.
On the day of the Jessner peel, you should not use moisturizers or any products based on fruit acids.
Jessner Peel Procedure
The peeling procedure begins with cleansing the skin of decorative cosmetics and impurities. Apply special products with a pH of 4.5 – 5.5 to the surface with light massage movements and wash off after 30 seconds. Then the surface of the skin is degreased with an alcohol solution. After this, a layer of the drug is very quickly but carefully distributed over the entire area of the face, excluding the area around the eyes. At this stage, the patient feels a burning sensation and a strong odor of the drug. After a couple of minutes, the skin of the face becomes covered with a whitish coating of salicylic acid crystals, which are an indicator of uniform application.
To reduce discomfort, the attending physician usually directs an additionally turned on fan on the face. If necessary, the application of layers of peeling solution can be repeated, but at intervals of 5 minutes.
The final stage of the procedure
At the end of the procedure, the solution is not washed off the face. Additionally, a moisturizer or soothing mask is applied. The composition is washed off the face after 5-6 hours on its own. After washing, you need to apply an ointment containing a high concentration of panthenol.
In the salon, the peeling mixture is washed off only in cases of an immediate allergic reaction.
Post-peeling rehabilitation
The state of your appearance the day after the procedure depends on the duration of exposure to the drug and the number of applications. Symptoms can range from mild redness and slight swelling to severe burning and tightness of the skin.
Stimulation of skin renewal occurs through the removal of the upper layers and will be safe if the recommendations of a cosmetologist are followed.
After both types of peeling, you should strictly apply only those products prescribed by the doctor to your face. It must be remembered that the quality of the result after the procedure also depends on the patient who has fulfilled the conditions of the rehabilitation period to the maximum extent possible.
The exfoliation process occurs on the third day after the peeling procedure. The duration of peeling of the skin can take up to 7-9 days. Under no circumstances should the film that appears on the face be peeled off, otherwise a scar may remain. We advise you to endure this condition and wait for the film to peel off on its own. Typically, skin cracking occurs in the most active areas of the face: around the mouth, sides of the nose, forehead and bridge of the nose. To avoid unnecessary annoying questions about your condition, you can hide part of your face using a disposable medical mask.
Ideally, a Jessner Peel should be scheduled at a time that is convenient to you so that you can provide proper care and be in a state of mental peace.
Also, during rehabilitation it is necessary to completely avoid applying decorative cosmetics and visiting a solarium. Using sunscreen is necessary every day before going outside.

Reviews from specialists about Jessner peeling
Kristina Arnaudova, dermatovenerologist, cosmetologist, researcher (@cosmetolog_arnaudova) :
— Beautiful skin is given to us from birth, which we simply must carefully preserve and protect. At a young age, this requires less effort, because the skin can renew itself. However, over the years, the renewal process goes a little differently, damaged fibers begin to accumulate, the rate of cellular renewal of the epidermis is already slower, wrinkles and dull complexion appear, and the thickness of the stratum corneum increases. Many of my patients note that their skin feels like parchment paper. But the ability of the skin to restore its previous appearance after damage, that is, to regenerate, remains intact. One of my favorite peels is the “Hollywood” or, in other words, Jessner peel, which is the first multi-acid chemical peel in the history of cosmetology, created a hundred years ago and, due to a number of undeniable advantages, does not lose its relevance to this day. This is due to the special composition of alpha and beta hydroxy acids plus a powerful antiseptic. As a rule, I use this type of peeling to solve problems such as: acne, post-acne, signs of photoaging, superficial wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, increased activity of the sebaceous glands. Thanks to “Hollywood” peeling, we also achieve skin smoothing, radiance and lifting.
I select the number of procedures, as well as the depth of exposure, individually depending on the skin type. Peeling has a cumulative effect, and the course varies from two to six sessions with a break of 2-6 weeks. Peeling is considered aggressive, so it can only be carried out during periods of low solar activity. In the post-peeling period, it is necessary to restore the water balance with the help of moisturizers, as well as use sunscreen. In general, the recovery period after any medium peel takes about a week, accompanied by redness, slight swelling, severe skin tightness and the removal of formed scales and crusts. However, all the discomfort is worth the result.
Do not forget that every peel, even the most balanced one, has a number of contraindications, such as: rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, active herpes, allergies to any of the components, pregnancy and lactation. Thus, the cosmetologist and the patient have the opportunity to solve several problems at once using Jessner peeling. After complete restoration, the skin looks significantly fresher and younger.
How to apply cream correctly
Professionals recommend following a number of rules to quickly revive the skin:
- apply the cream after cleansing the skin with foam or tonic with pH5, along the massage lines, in a thin layer;
- movements are light, superficial, do not rub the composition so as not to accidentally injure the sensitive dermis;
- the procedure is carried out 3 to 5 times a day during the period of active crust formation. After peeling off the epithelial plates, it shrinks up to 2 times;
- Before going outside, apply sunscreen or emulsion, and use it after complete healing of the skin, for 2-3 months.
Benefits of Jessner Peel
- An absolutely controlled and safe procedure, as a result of which the likelihood of side effects is low;
- exfoliation can also be performed on the body;
- relatively quick rehabilitation period of up to 5-7 days;
- universality of application to all skin types;
- acne treatment and optimal removal of their consequences;
- cleansing and tightening of visible pores; elimination of increased oily skin;
- smoothing the skin texture, getting rid of scars, dimples, deep scars;
- rejuvenation and smoothing of the skin from shallow wrinkles and creases on the face;
- reducing the visibility of pigmentation;
- increasing skin elasticity: tightening of the oval of the face is noted after the first procedure;
- a noticeable effect is observed within a few hours after the session.

To alleviate these symptoms, you can use pharmacy ointments and creams specially designed for tissue regeneration: Bepanten, Panthenol, and others like them.
Bepanten for healing with vitamins
Bepanten cream, produced in Germany, was specially created for the regeneration of damaged and irritated skin with redness (including children's skin). This is one of the most popular drugs in its category with multiple dermatological applications (burns, bedsores, tattoos, wrinkles). Bepanten promotes tissue healing after various types of peeling and enhances barrier functions.
Unlike the thicker ointment of the same name, Bepanten cream is absorbed faster, so it is preferable after peeling. Apply a thin layer to the skin for 5 days in the mornings and evenings. The main active ingredient of the cream is provitamin B5, supplemented with beeswax and almond oil. “Bepanthen Plus” also includes the disinfectant chlorhexidine.

It is also available in the form of a spray, which is especially convenient when you don’t want to touch your itchy face again. However, it is worth taking into account that D-Panthenol cream does not contain antibacterial components and is not suitable for daily use.

Lyoton-gel for swelling and redness
Traditionally, Lyoton is used in the treatment of varicose veins, but in cosmetology it is used for the face against bruises and swelling, as well as rosacea. The principle of action is based on the beneficial properties of heparin: this substance is extracted from the liver and lungs of cattle and prevents blood from clotting. The product is economical: just squeeze out a small pea-sized amount of gel from the tube and apply with patting movements.
Troxevasin against edema
The special pharmaceutical anti-edema ointment Troxevasin is also not directly intended for the face, but its bactericidal properties help fight swelling and bags under the eyes, as well as vascular mesh, which is why cosmetologists love it. Its action is similar to Lyoton, but is designed for a longer period of use.

But a few days after the procedure you will have to return to your normal lifestyle. To protect renewed skin from ultraviolet exposure, sunscreens with a maximum SPF factor must be used.
Regardless of the season, products with SPF 50 are used. This means that the filters block 99% of the sun that hits the skin.

What is a Jessner peel?
Jessner peeling preparations contain three main ingredients - lactic acid, salicylic acid and resorcinol, presented in an equal concentration of 14%. Lactic acid helps exfoliate dead cells, whitens, activates collagen synthesis, and also moisturizes and stimulates cell renewal. Salicylic acid works as an antiseptic, effectively and quickly penetrates the layers of the skin, thereby cleansing pores of impurities, dries out inflammation, and prevents itching after the peeling procedure. Resorcinol is a component that enhances the effect of lactic and salicylic acids in the peeling composition, in addition to quickly destroying harmful bacteria.
There are two types of Jessner peels. Their difference depends on the depth of exposure of the composition to the skin. Superficial peeling is a procedure for one-time application of a solution to the face, while it does not penetrate deeply and affects the upper layers of the epidermis. Medium peeling is a procedure of applying the drug twice, with some time between applied layers. This peeling can reach the basal layer of the epidermis, so after the procedure, mandatory and careful skin care is necessary.

At this point, many realize that their usual creams are not suitable: they either contain abrasive particles, or alcohol, or too greasy components.
