Hydrating Peel

This is a superficial San Diego chemical peel with superior hydrating properties. As a byproduct, it improves product penetration.

The hydrating peel is a safe, effective medical-grade peel that is ideal for dry, dehydrated, and photo-damaged skin with little to no downtime. This peel produces micro-exfoliation and long-lasting skin hydration with only one to three days of downtime.

The ZO three-step peel is an innovative, restorative facial rejuvenation procedure that treats imperfections such as acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven skin textures, wrinkles, and fine lines, and melisma. Treatment at the office is followed up by maintenance treatment at home, thus extending the peel’s results beyond that of ordinary facials.

The Jessner Peel

The Jessner chemical peel in San Diego is medium-strength and is designed to remove damaged layers of depleted cells while fighting the everyday stress of environmental toxins. Treatment results tend to last longer than the average peel, making it especially popular for facial rejuvenation practitioners.

The Jessner peel has three key ingredients, which include lactic acid, salicylic acid, and resorcinol. Together, these three compounds help to exfoliate, penetrate and heal broken, compromised skin.

What to Expect with a Jessner Peel

At first, your skin may be tight, dry, and red, as well as slightly sensitive. These are all normal reactions to our San Diego chemical peel and just mean that the peel has done its job. Slowly over the course of about a week, the skin will turn from a pinkish color to a more brown shade. Once the damaged layer has been shed, however, your new complexion will be glowing and healthy after about seven to 10 days of recovery.
