Jessner's Peel (Theraderm)

About this treatment

Skin resurfacing that's stood the test of time — and earned its place in 2026's most-trusted clinical peels. The Jessner's Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel formulated from equal parts salicylic acid, lactic acid and resorcinol. Each ingredient plays its own role: salicylic acid penetrates deep into pores to clear congestion and calm breakouts, lactic acid gently exfoliates while boosting hydration, and resorcinol works as both an antiseptic and exfoliant — together delivering a smoother, brighter, more even-toned complexion. At Sebastian Rose, we use the Theraderm formulation — developed by a leading US plastic surgeon and trusted by official THERAPON USA registered clinics worldwide. Customisable in strength and layering, this peel is tailored to your exact skin type and concern at the time of treatment. Commonly used to treat: - Active acne, pimples and breakouts - Acne scarring and uneven texture - Hyperpigmentation, sun damage and melasma - Fine lines and early signs of ageing What to expect: visible improvement in as little as 3 to 5 days, with a short recovery period of 3 to 4 days depending on peel depth. Treatments are typically spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, with your practitioner recommending a course based on your skin's needs. This peel pairs especially well with Microneedling for enhanced results on acne scarring — clinical studies have shown the combination delivers meaningful improvement in scar appearance. All treatments are carried out by an NMC/GMC-registered medical practitioners. Book your Jessner's Peel consultation at Sebastian Rose Medical Aesthetics, Cardiff.
