Three types of Jessner peels

Jessner peeling is divided into three types according to depth:
Lightweightwhen 1 layer is applied to the skin.
Mediumwhen the composition is applied in 2-3 layers. Such peels are also called "lactime" peels.
At deep peel 4 to 6 layers of the compound are applied. The skin becomes red, then darkens, covered with a brown crust. Healing lasts up to 30 days. In deep Jessner peeling, local anesthesia is usually applied.
It should be noted that no matter how deep the Jessner peel is, the composition lies on the skin evenly, which is difficult to achieve from peeling with TCA. This contributes to a calm recovery process.

Preparation for the Jessner Peel:

1. Before Jessner peeling, it is necessary to lower the pH of the skin by performing daily, within a week, exfoliating procedures with glycolic acid cleansers, pH not lower than 3.5. Creams should not be used. Usually with such skin preparation the recovery period is less noticeable, the skin is not very red and less flaky.
2. Peeling should be applied on cleansed skin. Never use soap as a cleanser. It is better to clean the skin with cosmetics with low pH4.5-5.5.
3. Do not apply any moisturizing creams before treating the skin with the composition.
4. Before peeling, a special test should be carried out. Apply the composition to a small area of skin on the face, for example, under the ear, and leave for 1 minute. Wash off. Look at the reaction. If the skin is reddened, then it is necessary to abandon the peeling and continue preparatory procedures with glycolic acid. If redness appeared and quickly passed or there was no redness, then you can proceed to peeling procedures.
5. Apply petroleum jelly to the most sensitive points on the face: near the outer corners of the eyes, on the corners of the lips and where the nostrils join the face.
6. It is better to apply the composition with a special brush. The brush should not be natural. It should be shaped like a fan. And there should be two brushes: with long bristles for large areas of skin, and with short bristles - for small areas of skin.

You can also apply the solution with cotton swabs, but they should have a wide, soft and thick tip, not ear cleaning swabs (Q-tips). Professionals soak a special gauze mask with eye slits in it with the solution and then apply it to the skin. Or they apply the solution to dry gauze, which is first placed on the face. The main thing is not to apply the solution with hands, otherwise the fingertips will go numb.
In other words, you should use application tools that are not time-consuming, are easy to apply and cover a large surface area at once. After all, every second counts when applying the compound.
7. It is better to pour the composition into a small glass container.
8. Apply the composition evenly, using quick movements in the following directions: forehead, temples, bridge of the nose, under-eye area, cheeks, upper lip area, chin.

12. Wash off the composition with cold water. Lightly blot dry the skin and apply moisturizer. You can use an oily base oil like sesame oil or macadamia oil. But it is better to apply a thick layer of petroleum jelly.

But if after the first composition of discomfort is not felt, then before applying Vaseline blot the skin, apply another composition, for example, cream with retinoids or peeling with glycolic acid to 30%. Hold depending on the condition of the skin. Keep in mind, the longer you keep it on, the longer the recovery process will be.
14. During the recovery process, special attention should be paid to moisturizing. Use petroleum jelly for 5 to 10 days, depending on the depth of peeling. The less the skin comes into contact with water, the better. You can cleanse the skin with base oils. Then you can apply decorative cosmetics.
