Jessner peeling - Hollywood facial skin care

Peculiarities

Peels using chemical components are designed to correct various facial skin imperfections. These are acne, sunburn, facial wrinkles, problems with skin tone and texture.

During the procedure, the following active substances are used: glycolic or salicylic acid, Jessner's solution, trichloroacetic acid or phenol.

Various active substances can be used during the procedure

The drug used is placed on the treated area, left for a certain period of time, and then removed. As a result, you can get rid of dead skin particles, which allows you to rejuvenate your skin.

On a note! TCA and Jessner peels are the most famous types of peels using chemical components.

This event is extremely important for the skin, which cannot be sufficiently elastic and elastic due to age-related changes. Chemical peeling is also relevant for skin suffering from wrinkles caused by facial movements.

All of these disadvantages are due to the fact that with age, the rapid destruction of collagen and elastin begins. Every day, young cells are restored in the skin structures.

The problem most often is age

Over time, a hardened, naturally occurring stratum corneum forms. The procedure we are considering allows you to quite gently but effectively control the size of this layer. Thanks to this, young cells can help the skin stay young and healthy.

Of course, the Jessner peel also has a drawback: it cannot be used frequently, as this will lead to very thin skin and turgor problems. And this leads to the formation of a network of wrinkles and sagging skin in areas prone to this problem (for example, the lower eyelid).

The procedure has its disadvantages

On a note! This procedure is contraindicated for elderly clients, as they may suffer from bright pigment spots upon completion.

Is it possible to peel after fillers?

Both peeling and the introduction of fillers into the skin are procedures aimed at improving the quality of the epidermis and, as a result, transforming its appearance.

These two methods have huge differences between each other: the result of the first method of rejuvenation is the cleansing of the surface of the epidermis from dead, keratinized cells, while the meaning of the second method is the saturation of the skin with useful substances and the restoration of functions thanks to the influence from the inside.

Combining these two approaches is a qualitatively new cosmetological idea: its meaning is to help the skin recover after cleansing of dead particles of the dermis through the use of hyaluronic acid-based compounds.

Conversely, timely removal of the no longer needed top layer provides some assistance during the administration of drugs, because it literally opens access to the needed part and shortens the rehabilitation period.

When asked whether it is possible to do peeling after using fillers, cosmetologists express their unequivocal agreement, albeit with some reservations. Thanks to this combination, the effect of the composition based on hyaluronic acid increases many times, that is, such effects as:

• moisturizing the epidermis, the duration of which will be much longer than without peeling;
• activation of cellular functions, among which improved gas exchange (“skin respiration”), accelerated production of collagen native to the body and enhanced restoration of the structure of the components of the integument are especially pronounced;
• facial contouring, which is much more pronounced than if cleansing had not been carried out;
• reduction in the number of aesthetic defects, for example, bright pigment spots, uneven or sallow complexion, heterogeneous structure of the skin.

However, attention should be paid to the fact that this approach, which consists of combining procedures, should be chosen by those women who have crossed the age of 35. This is explained in such a way that the speed of all ongoing processes slows down, including the ability to renew the epidermis, but at the same time the severity of age-related changes increases: wrinkles, folds, less elasticity of the skin

The very reservation of the experts that was mentioned is the rest period between the two approaches to improving the cover: despite the order in which the combination occurs, it is necessary to wait until the epidermis is sufficiently restored after undergoing the first impact in order to carry out the second, not worrying about how painful the side effects will be.

And here is more information about how to care for your face after fillers.

Components included in the peeling

The procedure we are considering is quite gentle on the surface of the skin. It is often used as a superficial type, but some specialists can also use it for deeper effects. Therefore, the drugs used may differ significantly.

If we consider the traditional recipe, the composition includes resorcinol, acetylsalicylic and purified lactic acid. In this case, based on the required depth of exposure, you can change the concentration of lactic acid: from 14 to 20%.

Changes can be made to the lactic acid concentration

This substance copes well with inflammatory processes occurring in the skin and stimulates the production of vital moisture.

On a note! The strength of the effect is directly related to the number of layers of the drug applied to the epidermal part of the skin.

Acetylsalicylic acid stimulates the removal of keratinized epithelial cells. This process is called exfoliation. Acting together with lactic acid, this substance allows you to get rid of pathogenic microorganisms and causative agents of various infections.

Resorcinol is used for similar purposes - to kill bacteria and have a tanning effect on the skin. Therefore, this substance is very often used in the correction of various dermatological diseases.

Contraindications

Despite its mild effect, Jessner peeling has a number of contraindications, the absence of which should be ensured before the procedure. These include the following conditions:

• inflammatory diseases of the facial epidermis;
• herpes virus in the acute stage;
• allergic reaction and individual intolerance to any component of the composition;
• violation of the integrity of the skin in the area that will be treated;
• autoimmune diseases;
• pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• dermatological skin diseases;
• diabetes;
• heat;
• infectious diseases at the acute stage;
• oncological diseases;
• chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

Peeling is not recommended in the summer, as pigmentation may appear on exfoliated skin under the influence of sunlight. But in winter and autumn, the procedure will be safe and effective.

Another pressing question about a technique such as Jessner peeling is how many sessions will be required. Usually the course includes 5-10 procedures, but it all depends on the condition of the skin. In some cases, it is enough to visit a cosmetologist 2-3 times.

Jessner peeling is a safe and effective procedure, popular among both Hollywood stars and ordinary women. It provides high-quality and professional skin care, helps eliminate imperfections and renew the epidermis. The procedure can be carried out at home, but if it is being done for the first time, it is still better to visit a qualified cosmetologist.

This company provides Jessner peeling with improved formulas. After the discovery of these compounds by American laboratories, professional cosmetology centers are sure to use them in their work.

HydroquinoneFree

Used for skin that reacts negatively to hydroquinone. Thanks to the combination of alpha and beta hydroxyl acids, it is possible to normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands, erase traces of acne from the skin, and improve its overall health. If a person suffers from acne or excessive pigmentation, has oily skin or shows signs of sun damage, the manifestations of these imperfections are minimized.

Hydroquinone Free

WithHydroquinone – contains acids and hydroquinone

Used if a person tolerates these components normally. It copes well with excessive skin pigmentation, removes melasma, treats acne and the traces left from it. Used for aging skin, excessive work of the sebaceous glands, problems with the color of the surface of the facial skin.

Drug WithHydroquinone

With Hydroquinone & Resorcinol

Almost the same as the previous remedy, supplemented with resorcinol. The strongest composition used for Jessner peeling. Use for:

• normalization of skin color so that it is even and beautiful;
• effectively removing impurities from oily, dense skin, saturating it with useful substances, softening and healing;
• getting rid of skin injuries caused by sun rays, various comedones and active acne.

The addition of resorcinol can even combat significant skin damage from the sun, severe pigmentation, signs of aging and skin scarring.

Preparation WithHydroquinone & Resorcinol

Compound

The peeling product contains 3 active substances - resorcinol, lactic and salicylic acids in a concentration of 14%. They are selected in such a way as to simultaneously exfoliate dead cells, regulate the functioning of the sebaceous glands and stimulate the regeneration of the epidermis.

Salicylic acid is considered one of the most powerful antiseptics that can prevent the spread of infection. Lactic acid makes the skin softer and more elastic by accelerating collagen production. Resorcinol is necessary to enhance the effect of the two previous ingredients. In addition, it is used as a soothing agent that relieves redness. You can find out the indications and contraindications for the use of these substances from the table.

As you can see from the table, there are a lot of side effects. For this reason, choose a cosmetologist (or home peeling product) carefully.

Selection of optimal depth of exposure

If only a superficial effect is carried out, it will be enough to use one layer of the composition containing the active components. To prevent skin from being burned, you need to apply protective products immediately after rinsing.

This type of peeling is the right choice when you need to normalize the water balance in the epidermal layers of the skin, make it visually beautiful - correct not too bright expression wrinkles, normalize the color, making it uniform.

On a note! The event does not cause pain, there is also no strong discomfort, so clients tolerate it well.

This procedure is not accompanied by pain

During the recovery period, minor peeling of the skin may occur. However, you should not worry about this - this effect shows that the upper layers of the skin are actively regenerating. After a short amount of time everything will return to normal.

If a medium peel is performed, the specialist uses three layers of a preparation containing active ingredients. Apply it at short intervals - approximately once every 5 minutes.

Medium peeling requires three layers of the product.

In general, the mixture used for peeling should remain on the skin for up to twenty minutes. When the last layer is applied, the composition is left for another minute and then washed off.

The procedure we are considering allows you to get rid of the obvious manifestations of skin aging, which include deep wrinkles, excessive pigmentation, scars and small scars.

About five days are allotted for rehabilitation; clients note very severe peeling of the skin. This is normal.

Skin may peel

On a note! There are cases when the client is prescribed up to five layers of peeling preparation. Then the impact is considered profound. However, this is not a very common occurrence.

The drug used allows you to get rid of even very deep wrinkles on the skin of the face and very noticeable age spots. The skin color is normalized, becoming uniform, and the oval of the face becomes more toned.

As a disadvantage of this procedure, one can note a rather long recovery, combined with not the most pleasant side effects - the skin turns red and white spots appear on it. Possible pain. The condition will return to normal in a couple of weeks, and all of these manifestations will disappear without consequences or outside intervention.

It takes a long time to recover

Precautionary measures

Jessner peeling has a wide range of contraindications, careful attention to which will protect you from unpleasant consequences. The procedure cannot be performed if:

• intolerance to the components of the solution;
• pregnancy;
• rosacea, the presence of large moles and other formations in the treatment area;
• exacerbation of herpes;
• skin diseases requiring preliminary treatment (demodex, psoriasis, eczema);
• oncology of any location;
• open wounds on the surface (scratches, abrasions, opened pimples);
• fresh tan;
• inflammation, tissue irritation;
• acute course of any disease;
• taking retinoids, products containing menthol, camphor;
• hormonal imbalance (medication, lactation, menstruation, menopause).

It is recommended to postpone the procedure in case of general ailments. Cosmetologists do not undertake interventions in the summer. Optimal period: from autumn to spring. It is recommended to complete the course completely in March. Dark-skinned people should think carefully about the advisability of performing a Jessner peel. The procedure can result in the appearance of a demarcation line that spoils the appearance.

If contraindications are excluded and all the cosmetologist’s recommendations are followed, the occurrence of complications is minimal. Normal reactions preceding the final result are the appearance of:

• redness;
• swelling;
• excessive peeling;
• dark spots, red-brown crust.

The phenomena are accompanied by moderate pain, burning, itching. All symptoms normally disappear within 7–10 days. If large subcutaneous pimples appear, spots that do not go away for a long time, signs of infection (severe pain, fever, suppuration, induration, extensive swelling), or suspected allergies (rash, persistent itching, long-lasting redness), it is recommended to consult a cosmetologist.

Note! The absence of peeling and weak skin convergence should also not be alarming. This is not a signal of low quality intervention. This circumstance is typical when carrying out surface exposure (1–2 layers).

Composition specifics

Experts talk about the following properties of the substances included in the preparation used for peeling.

1. Salicylic acid. It perfectly kills pathogenic microorganisms in the skin, dries it a little, and removes excess sebum. It provokes the destruction of molecular intercellular connections, forcing the body to synthesize keratin in sufficient quantities.
2. Lactic acid. Enriches skin structures with moisture, softens, produces collagen fibers. In addition, lactic acid is involved in the production of moisture, its distribution and circulation throughout the body.
3. Resorcinol. This substance is necessary for the influence of salicylic and lactic acids to manifest itself to the proper extent and to enhance the results they provide. Resorcinol is also an excellent assistant in the correction of inflammatory processes and redness.

The components of the product are quite effective

How Jessner Peel works on the skin:

• the use of lactic acid softens the stratum corneum of the epidermis, making it more susceptible to various influences;
• moisture inside is bound, leaving the upper soft layers of the skin;
• salicylic acid provokes exfoliation of dead cells;
• Resorcinol increases the effect of the acids used and kills pathogenic microorganisms.

Skin becomes better after the procedure

Specifics of the procedure

For surface cleaning, a special composition is applied in one layer. The middle one requires at least 3 layers of application, the drying time between which is at least 5 minutes. It is practically safe and is not accompanied by side effects in the form of scars.

Deep peeling is accompanied by simultaneous application of the composition four times.

Expert opinion

Elena Apostolyuk

Cosmetologist

Any chemical procedure involving acids is associated with damage to the epidermis. Most complications resulting from exposure to aggressive substances appear due to damage to the integrity of the skin, or are associated with the onset of an inflammatory process.

This is an inevitable and normal response of the body to mechanical intervention: redness and swelling appear, peeling is observed, and dark spots appear.

As side effects, acne may become more active, new comedones may form, and lumps may occur.

A professional will help determine the cause. Due to personal characteristics, the body may react with an allergic outbreak or exacerbation of a skin infection. In this case, the doctor prescribes treatment procedures using zinc-containing drugs and anti-inflammatory drugs.

The consequence of chemical peeling can be the formation of a burn on the skin. A similar phenomenon occurs due to a large number of applied layers, or in case of untimely removal of the composition with water.

A dense crust will “cover” the tissue until restoration. An ointment based on panthenol will help the skin cope with the consequences faster. At the same time, you need to take formulations that contain fatty acids and promote accelerated tissue healing.

How long the redness lasts after a Jessner peel depends on how intensively the chemical procedure was performed. During recovery after superficial exposure, uniform redness of the skin is observed for 1–2 days. With medium cleansing, facial redness persists for up to 5 days.

Peeling is typical for any chemical procedure. After visiting the salon, it lasts up to one week and indicates that the process of tissue renewal has begun. Typically, after a Jessner peel, the face begins to peel off on the 3rd day.

When this does not happen, this indicates that the skin is poorly susceptible to external irritants. If there is no peeling, the cosmetologist increases the number of layers applied during the subsequent session, and retinol is used as a mask.

Consequences in the form of peeling, redness of the skin, according to the time of their appearance, can be divided into:

• instant, which lasts up to 14 days;
• regenerating, appearing after 2.5–6 weeks;
• persistent changes formed after the process of cell restoration after 20–50 days.

To minimize undesirable consequences, it is necessary to pre-prepare the tissues for subsequent manipulations, as well as provide timely skin care after Jessner peeling.

Questions and answers

I want to go to warm countries during my vacation. Where can I go if I just recently used the Jessner peel?

After an event of this nature, you need to significantly reduce the time you spend under the sun. Research shows that you should avoid tanning for at least a month, although this is the minimum period. Better to save yourself even longer.

You should not stay in the sun for a long time for a month after the procedure.

I have been suffering from age spots for a long time. Can I use Jessner peel to get rid of my problem?

Pigment spots are exactly the problem that this type of peeling is designed to solve. This is due to the whitening effect of the procedure. However, you should know that cosmetology can offer you more effective ways to remove pigmentation. For example, you might want to look into laser resurfacing or ATP therapy.

How often will I have to visit a specialist for this type of peeling?

It is impossible to give a definite answer to this question. The cosmetologist will select the exact timing based on the specific problem and individual characteristics of the client. On average, three to six procedures are enough. You should maintain a gap of about a month between them.

You need to visit a specialist from time to time

How is the recovery period going?

When caring for your skin after a Jessner peel, you should follow the following basic recommendations:

• avoid going to the pool, solarium or sauna for a period of 1 to 3 months;
• regularly use sunscreen before going out;
• do not wash your face for the first 24 hours after cleansing;
• Avoid excessive physical activity that causes increased sweating for at least a month;
• until peeling is completely eliminated, do not apply decorative cosmetics to cleansed skin;
• Do not remove film or crusts from your face yourself.

To speed up the recovery process, it is recommended to use regenerating drugs such as Panthenol or Bepanten - they can treat the epidermis up to 5 times a day.

Jessner peeling protocol step by step

The steps of the procedure are as follows:

1. Preparatory activities.
2. Direct peeling.
3. Care activities.

You should prepare for the procedure a couple of weeks in advance. To do this, you don’t have to go to a cosmetologist; you can do it at home after receiving doctor’s recommendations.

To make the skin soft and the active substances can work better, you need to wipe it with specialized lotions containing fruit acids. Before starting the treatment, the cosmetologist is required to do a test for allergies or individual intolerance to the components. To do this, cover the skin with the product used for several minutes. Then her condition is checked: there should be no rash or redness or swelling. Only then can you start peeling.

It is worth using creams and lotions that contain fruit acids

Important ! The procedure we are considering is recommended to be carried out only in good cosmetology clinics. The specialist must have sufficient skills in this area.

Deep effects are allowed to be carried out only by doctors, and medium effects – by experienced cosmetologists. If a superficial effect is necessary, you can independently purchase peeling products with various acids.

For example, many online stores or cosmetics stores offer ready-made compositions for Jessner peeling.

You can find formulations in cosmetic stores or online stores

Preparation for the procedure

A responsible approach to the preparatory stage of Jessner peeling determines the quality of the result. The first step is a consultation with a cosmetologist who will decide whether the intervention is possible. If no contraindications are found, the further preparation system will be described to you in detail:

1. Two weeks before the session, you need to include products containing fruit acids in your daily care or use light peeling;
2. Protect your skin from sun exposure using cosmetics with a high degree of SPF;
3. Preliminary allergy test to the ingredient selected for the basic procedure (apply to the crook of the elbow or wrist).

Satisfactory health, especially the integrity of the skin, are the main points of preparation for the procedure. The remaining nuances will be determined by the cosmetologist as events unfold. It is better to choose autumn or winter for the intervention.
