Chemical Peels: Elaine Brennan Get Glow Peel

What is the Elaine Brennan GetGlowing Micro-peel?
The GetGlowing MicroPeel is a treatment in which a cream/peeling 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 GetGlowing MicroPeel is tailored to fit the clients’ individual skin type and long-term goals.

What results will you see?
The GetGlowing Micro-peel is designed to refine skin texture damaged by environmental factors and skin conditions such as acne ,acne scars, solar keratosis, sun damage and hyperpigmentation. The procedure 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 procedure, you will notice incremental improvements in the overall appearance of the skin.

How many treatments does a client need?
For maximum results, we recommend a series of Four to Six GetGlowing Micro-Peel procedures in two to six week intervals, depending on the skin type.

Will  clients experience any downtime?
For approximately one week following the procedure, the skin will undergo a renewal process, lightly shedding its dead outer layer. Depending on the skin, the client 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, the client may experience mild itching, dryness and redness. Your aesthetician will provide further information in clinic on post care treatment.

How long does the treatment take?
The client will need to be in the clinic for about 60 -90 minutes. The peeling may be done on its own or after deep pore cleansing treatment.
