Abstract
This chapter reviews the use of Jessner’s peel for the treatment of medical and cosmetic dermatologic conditions. Jessner’s peel is a practical and versatile peel that can be utilized by most any provider and most any skin-type patient. Included in this discussion are the materials and techniques required in the clinical setting to successfully apply this peel. Beyond the practical application, we review the multiple indications as well as the potential contraindications and side effects that each provider and patient should be aware of prior to use.
