Just had my Jessner's Peel.

HI Everyone. I said how I was going to have my first chemical peel--a Jessner's Peel a few weeks ago. I had it performed yesterday and the aesthetician told me that because of my skin color (Fitzpatrick 4) and skin type (oily), I probably would not peel. I would still have a good result but the most I would get is some flaking. I was pretty relieved to hear this because I do have an interview at 4 today and didn't want to come in with a red face! The peel itself did not really burn that much; I could have done without the fan that was provided. My skin is smooth and looks great but I will have to report back in a week to let you know if there was any flaking. So, what I was able to take away from this is the oilier and darker complected you are, the less you well peel with a Jessner's. To really get deep peeling you would need a TCA peel.

A friend in need is a friend indeed.
