Beta Lift Chemical Peel

Beta Lift chemical peels are ideal for the following conditions:

The Jessner peel is a 14% blend of equal parts salicylic acid, lactic acid and resorcinol. This peel is versatile and can be used to address a wide variety of skin concerns, including acne, hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, and uneven skin tone and texture.

The application involves multiple layers, allowing for a controlled, customized, and precise approach. The strength of the Jessner chemical peel is determined by the number of layers that are applied: 1 to 3 layers are applied for a light peel, 4 to 6 layers are applied for a medium peel, and 7 to 8 layers can be applied for a deep peel.

Note: individuals with medium to dark skin tone should NOT have the Jessner solution applied beyond 4 layers, due to the increased risk of hyperpigmentation.
