The Jessner Peel
Multi-acid resurfacing peel for congestion, pigmentation and texture.
Overview
The Jessner Peel combines salicylic acid, lactic acid and glycolic-style exfoliation in one advanced treatment to deeply exfoliate, clear congestion, brighten pigmentation, refine pores and improve skin texture. Ideal for acne-prone, congested or uneven skin.
Key Benefits
- Deeply exfoliates and clears congestion
- Brightens pigmentation and uneven tone
- Refines enlarged pores
- Improves overall skin texture
How It Works
After a consultation and skin prep, the Jessner solution is layered onto the skin. You'll feel mild tingling and warmth which is closely monitored. The peel is neutralised, and a calming mask and SPF finish the session.

Client Stories
What clients say
Consultation
"The consult alone was worth it. Dafni mapped out my skin properly and explained why certain treatments wouldn't suit me. She saved me from spending money on the wrong thing. That level of honesty is rare."
Charlotte E.
Hampton, VIC
HIFU Body Tightening
"After significant weight loss my upper arms were loose. Dafni was kind and never made me feel awkward. The HIFU has tightened the skin noticeably and I'm finally comfortable in sleeveless tops. She's wonderful."
Isabela F.
Seaford, VIC
EMS Body Toning
"I wanted to strengthen my core after back surgery but couldn't do regular exercise. Dafni tailor the EMS sessions around my limits and tracked everything. I can feel muscles I hadn't felt in years. So grateful for her care."
Kim T.
Aspendale, VIC
Non-Surgical Face Lifting
"I was really nervous about HIFU but Dafni made me feel so at ease. She talked me through everything and kept checking I was comfy. My jawline looks firmer already and I've had heaps of compliments. The clinic doesn't feel clinical at all, it's really calm."
Sophia R.
Noble Park, VIC
Laser Hair Removal
"Best decision I've made honestly. Six sessions in and my underarms are completely smooth. Dafni told me straight up what to expect and never tried to upsell me on stuff I didn't need. She actually cares about getting it right."
Madeleine K.
Brighton, VIC
Chemical Peels
"Years of post-acne pigmentation and I'm finally seeing real change. Dafni made me a proper plan and actually explained the home care routine so it made sense for my skin. My skin's never looked this even."
Charlotte J.
Mentone, VIC
