If you are looking to achieve smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin, a Jessner + Tretinoin peel might be the perfect solution. This powerful chemical peel combines multiple exfoliating agents to target skin concerns like melasma, post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), and uneven skin texture—delivering visible results with minimal downtime.
At Elite Dermatology & Esthetics, we offer this advanced chemical peel to help patients achieve radiant, youthful skin.
What is a Jessner + Tretinoin Peel?
A Jessner peel is a multi-acid solution that works on different layers of the skin, effectively exfoliating and rejuvenating the complexion. It contains:
- Salicylic Acid (BHA)
- Lactic Acid (AHA)
- Resorcinol
These ingredients target acne, unclog pores, smoothen texture, and brighten dark spots.
When combined with Tretinoin, a vitamin A derivative which is much more potent than retinol, the peel becomes even more potent. Tretinoin accelerates skin renewal, boosts collagen production, and enhances the penetration of the Jessner solution, making it highly effective for skin brightening and texture improvement.
Who Can Benefit from This Peel?
The Jessner + Tretinoin peel is ideal for individuals dealing with:
✔ Melasma – A common skin condition that causes dark patches on the face.
✔ Post inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) – Dark spots left behind after acne or skin irritation.
✔ Uneven Skin Tone – Sun damage, dullness, or blotchy skin.
✔ Fine Lines and Rough Texture – Promotes smoother, youthful-looking skin.
What to Expect:
- Before the Peel: Be diligent with sun protection (SPF30+) and stop cosmetic products for at least one week.
- During the Treatment: The peel is applied in layers, and you may feel a mild tingling or warming sensation.
- After the Peel: Expect mild flaking or peeling over the next few days as your skin renews itself.
- Results: Within 7–10 days, you’ll notice a brighter, more even complexion with improved skin texture.
Post-Peel Care Tips
- Moisturize generously to support the healing process.
- Use sunscreen (SPF 30+) to protect fresh, sensitive skin from UV damage.
- Avoid picking or peeling skin to prevent irritation or scarring.
