Jessner Peel in Noosaville, Sunshine Coast
Jessner Peel
A Powerful Chemical Peel that Resurfaces the Skin
A Jessner peel in Noosaville combines lactic acid, salicylic acid and resorcinol to help clear congestion, refine pores and brighten oily, sun-damaged skin.
A Jessner Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel that effectively removes the outer layers of the skin. It can be used on most skin types and is used to treat sun-damaged and ageing skin and to lighten areas of hyperpigmentation.
Jessner Peels offer a safe yet effective treatment for a range of concerns with little downtime. They have been one of the most popular peels for over 30 years!
The unique formulation of a Jessner Peel combines lactic acid (used for exfoliation), salicylic acid (used for penetration) and resorcinol (used to reduce oil content) to deeply exfoliate the skin and penetrate deep into the skin’s layers.
It is applied in layers to the treatment area and remains on the skin for several hours and, in most cases, overnight. Peeling usually begins on or around day 3-4 following the application and generally takes 7 days for total exfoliation to occur.
Those suffering with the following are generally good candidates for the Jessner Peel:
A Jessner peel is a good fit for oily, thicker skin and congestion, as well as early sun damage.
Acne
Oily Skin
Thick, dull or dehydrated skin
Skin Discolouration
Moderate wrinkles
Open or enlarged pores
The Jessner Peel’s effectiveness across these diverse skin concerns makes it particularly suitable for individuals seeking comprehensive skin improvement. It can address surface-level issues, like oiliness, and deeper concerns, such as pigmentation so that you can achieve multiple treatment goals in a single procedure.
Treatment Approach
The Jessner Peel utilises a time-tested combination of lactic acid, salicylic acid, and resorcinol to achieve controlled, medium-depth skin resurfacing. This carefully balanced formula works progressively, with each acid serving a specific purpose to exfoliate, penetrate, and refine the skin’s surface. Applied in layers and left to work over several hours, the treatment delivers predictable peeling that reveals renewed skin texture and improved clarity within a week.
Jessner peels for oily skin in a humid climate
Sunshine Coast humidity keeps oily skin oily. A Jessner peel cuts through the build-up that blocks pores.
Made for congestion
Heat and humidity increase oil production, and that oil mixes with dead skin cells to block pores. The result is blackheads, breakouts and pores that look larger than they are.
The three acids in a Jessner peel each play a part. Salicylic acid clears oil from inside the pores, lactic acid loosens dead surface cells, and resorcinol helps cut back excess oil.
Most people with Congested Skin or Enlarged and Open Pores notice clearer, smoother skin once the peeling finishes. A course spaced six to eight weeks apart builds on each result.
Caring for your skin after a Jessner peel
The way you treat your skin in the week after the peel shapes the result.
Let it peel on its own
Day of the peel: the solution stays on for several hours, usually overnight, so skip washing, exercise and heat until we tell you it’s time.
Days 1 to 3: skin feels tight and may look slightly flushed or darker. Use only the gentle cleanser and moisturiser we recommend.
Days 3 to 7: peeling begins. Leave it alone, keep your skin moisturised and wear mineral makeup if you need coverage.
Every day: SPF 50+ and a hat outdoors. Sun on healing skin can leave darker patches behind.
Hold off on retinoids, acids and scrubs until your skin has finished peeling and settled.
Who should choose a different peel
A Jessner peel suits most skin types, but not every situation.
Safety first
We’ll suggest a different treatment if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, have an allergy to aspirin, salicylates or resorcinol, or have taken prescription acne tablets in the last six months.
The same applies if your skin is sunburnt, freshly tanned, or flaring with eczema, psoriasis or dermatitis. Cold sores, broken skin or a history of keloid scarring also need a conversation first.
If your skin is sensitive, the Salicylic Peel is a gentler place to start. For deeper sun damage, the TCA Peel or Cosmo Peel Forte may suit you better.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some FAQ's about Jessner Peel. If you have any other questions, please give us a call or request a Consultation today.
What makes the Jessner Peel different from other chemical peels?
The Jessner Peel’s unique three-acid formula has been trusted for over 30 years. Unlike single-acid peels, it combines lactic acid for exfoliation, salicylic acid for deeper penetration, and resorcinol to control oil production.
This combination allows for more comprehensive skin renewal whilst remaining suitable for most skin types.
How long does the peeling process take after a Jessner Peel?
Peeling typically begins around day 3-4 after your treatment and continues for approximately 7 days total.
The process is gradual and predictable, allowing you to plan accordingly. Most people can return to work immediately, though you may prefer to schedule your treatment before a weekend to allow for the initial peeling phase.
Can I wear makeup during the peeling process?
Yes, you can wear makeup once the initial application has fully dried. However, we recommend using gentle, mineral-based products during the peeling phase.
Avoid trying to remove or scrub off peeling skin, as this can cause irritation or uneven healing.
Is the Jessner Peel suitable for sensitive skin?
While the Jessner Peel is generally well-tolerated by most skin types, sensitive skin requires careful assessment. During your consultation, we’ll review your skin’s history and may recommend a patch test or alternative treatment if needed.
Our practitioners will always prioritise your skin’s safety and comfort.
How often should I have Jessner Peel treatments?
The frequency depends on your individual skin concerns and goals. Many clients see excellent results with treatments every 6-8 weeks initially, then maintenance treatments every 3-4 months.
Your practitioner will recommend a personalised schedule based on your skin’s response and desired outcomes.
