What is a Major Peel?
The Elaine Brennan Skin Renewal Peel is a deep, reliable exfoliation of the skin with no surprises. It is a 2 day, 2 hour treatment that while on the skin, begins the process of removing several of the top dead cells layers without any destruction of the epidermis. As the skin begins to shed, the dead, horny surface skin cells harden and form a thin crusty layer that later falls off to reveal a beautiful fresh appearance. Each peeling treatment restores the skin, stimulating regrowth and the basal cells. Rejuvenating and thickened many skin layers below.
The Process:
It is recommended as a treatment for aging skin, especially the deep wrinkles of the upper lip but also works wonders for acne, pigmentation problems, blemishes and freckles. Another major benefit is the effects of the process continue for up to a year after. Most people initially require two to three Skin Renewal Peels to achieve the best result with this dramatically successful treatment. One annual maintenance peeling is recommended thereafter to maintain a fresh, smooth, glowing and problem free complexion.
