Modified and Enhanced Jessner’s Peels

This variety of gentle and innovatively blended formulations effectively smoothes surface texture while brightening and inhibiting hyperpigmentation. They also help heal and reduce breakouts, control oil, and soften lines and wrinkles to provide more even skin texture.

PCA Peel Hydroquinone Free:

 (14% Lactic Acid, 14% Salicylic Acid, 3% Kojic Acid & Citric Acid)

This formula is ideal for more sensitive skin types, ethnic skin or those allergic to hydroquinone. This treatment will help unclog pores, clear acne and rejuvenate the skin. With its blend of brighteners and alpha and beta hydroxyl acids, it also is an excellent choice for correcting pigment discolorations and maintain even pigmentation for those with hydroquinone sensitivities.

PCA Peel with Hydroquinone:

(2% Hydroquinone, 14% Lactic Acid, 14% Salicylic Acid, 3% Kojic Acid & Citric Acid)

This formula is for those who want an even skin tone and have no sensitivity to hydroquinone. It will help to quickly lighten pigment discolorations of any kind, such as melasma and actinic damage. In addition, this peel helps inhibit acne and correct post-inflammatory hyperpigmentaion from acne.

PCA Peel with Hydroquinone & Resorcinol:

(2% Hydroquinone, 14% Lactic Acid, 14% Salicylic Acid, 3% Kojic Acid, Resorcinol & Citric Acid)

The most potent of the enhanced Jessner’s formulas, this peel will even skin tone and provide more exfoliation for oilier, thicker and more resilient skin types. It is extremely effective on sun-damaged and thickened skin. It is also excellent for those with active or cystic and asphyxiated skin (dry on the surface, oily underneath) or those who require deeper treatment.

Blended TCA Peels

These skin friendly yet effective peels address many skin conditions without the discomfort and downtime associated with traditional TCA peels. These blends contain a variety of beneficial ingredients to help treat acne, hyperpigmentation, and fine lines and wrinkles, while leaving the skin plump and hydrated. This group contains a range of options from very gentle, for sensitive or darker skin types, to more active formulations, for resilient skin and the skin on the body.

Sensi Peel:

(12% Lactic Acid, 6% Trichloroacetic Acid, Azelaic Acid, Arbutin & L-Ascorbic Acid)

This gentle solution is formulated primarily for ethnic skin and other extremely sensitive skin types. The Sensi Peel will strengthen and brighten the skin while helping to treat sun damage and other forms of hyperpigmentation. This multi-faceted treatment also provides anti-inflammatory, anti-acne and antibacterial action, making it an excellent choice for helping to calm rosacea, as redness and inflammation can subside substantially after treatment.

Ultra Peel I:

(20% Lactic Acid, 10% Trichloroacetic Acid, Kojic Acid, Azelaic Acid & L-Ascorbic Acid)

Specially formulated to treat dehydrated, maturing skin, Ultra Peel I is also appropriate for many other skin types, conditions and sensitivities. It will help treat pigment disorders, fine lines and wrinkles, sun damaged skin and acne. This treatment is especially ideal for sensitive skin, as it produces only a mild tingling sensation. Mild to moderate exfoliation will be experienced, depending on the number of layers applied. Overall the final result will be plump, hydrated and luminous skin.
