What is a Jessner Peel and TCA Peel?
A Jessner Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel that combines three key ingredients—salicylic acid, lactic acid, and resorcinol. This peel is renowned for its effectiveness in addressing various skin concerns. The combination of these acids works to exfoliate the outer layer of the skin, promoting cell turnover and revealing a smoother, more youthful complexion. Jessner Peels are often used to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation. The depth of penetration can be adjusted based on individual skin needs, making it a versatile option for those seeking skin rejuvenation.
A TCA peel is a chemical peel that utilizes trichloroacetic acid as the primary active ingredient to improve the texture and appearance of the skin. TCA peels come in various strengths, allowing for customization based on the specific skin concerns and desired outcomes of the individual. TCA peels are commonly used to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, age spots, and uneven skin tone. They can also improve skin texture and stimulate collagen production, resulting in firmer and more resilient skin. The depth of penetration and intensity of a TCA peel can be adjusted but are generally deeper than a Jessner Peel.

Who Is a Candidate for A Jessner Peel and TCA Peel?
The ideal candidate for both a Jessner Peel and TCA peel is seeking to address skin concerns related to aging and other imperfections. These can include:
- Dark spots
- Age spots
- Uneven skin tone
- Fine lines
- Wrinkles
- Scars
- Melasma
- Hyperpigmentation
- Acne scars
A TCA peel is not recommended for those with darker skin tones as it poses a higher risk of scarring. A Jessner Peel, however, is great for individuals of all skin types and tones. The best way to determine your candidacy is by scheduling a consultation with Dr. Yco.
Jessner Peel and TCA Peel Procedure
Whether you are choosing to treat your skin with a Jessner Peel or TCA peel, each will be customized to a strength that best addresses your concerns. We always start by cleansing your skin before applying the chemical exfoliating agent with a large cotton swab. After sitting for 5-10 minutes, the solution is removed, and a cooling agent is applied.
Post-Op Care
Immediately following treatment, your skin may appear red, and you may experience some mild tingling. This should go away after a couple of days and be replaced with flaking that starts around the mouth. Do not pick at this skin as it will shed on its own. Continue to cleanse and moisturize your face with gentle products and wear an SPF. Your recovery is complete when your flaking has stopped. This is usually around 2 weeks.
