A jet peel facial is a non-invasive procedure that’s often used to combat signs of aging, dry skin, and acne. During treatment, pressurized streams of air penetrate into the deep layer of your skin called the dermis to deliver cleansers and serums.
The FDA-approved jet peel has gained popularity in recent years, and offers many of the same benefits as similar treatments like Dermalinfusion or HydraFacial.
Unlike some types of chemical peels and other harsh treatments, jet peels are gentle enough for people with sensitive skin or skin conditions like acne or rosacea.
Jet peel benefits
There’s a limited amount of research examining the benefits of the procedure at this time. However, this type of facial treatment has been linked to the following potential benefits.
Treating acne
Jet peels may help you treat and prevent acne by deep-cleaning your pores and exfoliating your skin. They also have the potential to deliver serums that contain ingredients like salicylic acid that can help with acne management.
Signs of aging
This procedure may help reduce signs of aging like wrinkles or sun damage. As with other treatments like chemical peels, it’s thought that this could achieve results by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin.
Exfoliation
Jet peels help exfoliate your skin and may give it a smooth and refreshed feeling after treatment. Exfoliating can help you reduce clogged pores, reduce the appearance of scars, and help even out your skin tone.
Other benefits
Jet peel technology may also have other medical uses other than treating facial skin.
One study found that jet peels may be able to more efficiently deliver minoxidil (Rogaine) into the scalp of people dealing with male and female pattern baldness.
Another study found that jet peel technology may be effective at delivering local anesthesia into the skin.
