What is the Elaine Brennan GetGlowing Micro-Peel?

The GetGlowing 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 GetGlowing Micro-Peel is tailored to fit a client's individual skin type and long-term goals.

What results will I see?
The GetGlowing Micro-peel is designed to refine skin texture damaged by environmental factors and skin conditions such as acne. 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 do I need?
For maximum results, we recommend a series of 4-6 GetGlowing Micro-Peel procedures in two to six week intervals, depending on the skin type.

Will I 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, 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?

Clients will need to be in the clinic for about 45-60 minutes. The peeling may be done on its own, after a facial treatment or after deep pore cleansing treatment.

Does it hurt?

This peel only tingles for about the first 10 minutes, then the feeling completely goes away. Pain is only about a 3 out of 10, nothing that is going to make you feel too uncomfortable.

Am I allowed to wear makeup after treatment?

Immediately after 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 the skin to flake off. You must wear sunscreen daily.
