WHAT IS THE ELAINE BRENNAN GET GLOWING MICRO-PEEL?

The Get Glowing Micro-Peel is a treatment in which a cream is applied to the skin to encourage the exfoliation of dead skin cells and debris while stimulating the skin’s natural renewal process. The Get Glowing Micro-Peel is tailored to fit a client's individual skin type and long-term goals. This Micro-Peel was created for clients who cannot afford the down time of the Elaine Brennan Skin Renewal Peeling, as well as for clients looking for a less expensive option.

HOW DOES THE GET GLOWING MICRO-PEEL DIFFER FROM THE ELAINE BRENNAN SKIN RENEWAL PEEL?

There is no comparison between the two peels and should not be confused with one another. The Get Glowing Micro-Peel is a mild peeling which will lightly exfoliate the skin, leaving it refreshed and soft.

WHAT KIND OF RESULTS WILL I SEE?

The Get Glowing Micro-Peel is designed to refine skin texture damaged by environmental factors and skin conditions such as acne. The treatment assists in smoothing fine lines and evening out skin discoloration. It improves skin texture and reduces the appearance of acne scars and environmental damage to the skin. With each additional Micro-Peel treatment, you will notice incremental improvements in the overall appearance of the skin.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS DO I NEED?

For maximum results, we recommend a series of 6 Get Glowing Micro-Peel treatments in two to six week intervals, depending on the skin type.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE PEEL?

Immediately after the treatment you will do nothing. You will not wash your face until the next morning. You may wear makeup the next day. Do not over moisturize the skin as you want your skin to peel. You must wear sunscreen daily. For approximately one week following the treatment, the skin will undergo a renewal process, lightly shedding its dead outer layer. Depending on the skin, clients may or may not experience peeling. If peeling occurs, it usually begins four to five days following the treatment and lasts for approximately three days. In addition, clients may experience mild itching, dryness and redness.

HOW LONG DOES THE TREATMENT TAKE?

The treatment will take approximately 45 minutes, with the peel being on the skin 30 minutes. The peel may be performed on its own, after a facial treatment or after a deep pore cleansing treatment.
