The peel application requires two back to back days. We recommend planning for 3 hours on each day for appx 6 hours total.

It takes about 30 min to apply, followed by a 2 hour processing time, and a 30 min removal time.

While processing you will be able to comfortably relax alone in a quiet, darkened room. Many clients sleep through most of the peel or bring an audiobook to enjoy.

About 7-8 days after application, you will return for a follow up appointment where we remove any lingering areas of peeling skin.

Once you leave this appointment your skin will be looking refreshed and beautiful.

Due to the unique nature of this peel, water must be avoided until the follow up removal appointment. This means no full showering or hair washing for 1 week.

Post-peel instructions are to apply StemFactor twice a day & become close friends with dry shampoo :)

Everyone who has done the Peel agrees it has a similar level of discomfort as our traditional peels. The stinging sensation lasts appx 20 min during which you will have a fan in front of your face to ensure maximum comfort.

To initiate this system, clients will need to complete 2 Peels performed 6 weeks apart.

After the 1st two peels, most clients will only need to repeat the peel once every 10-12 months to continue supporting their collagen matrix. We love the simplicity of planning for only one downtime treatment year!

*For more extreme situations, we may recommend 3 initial peels, and/or 2 maintenance peels throughout the year.

The majority of clients do very well maintaining with one annual peel combined with regular Infusion Treatments to keep skin in a progressive state and provide complete long-term support.

The ongoing maintenance approach will vary from face to face. We always recommend scheduling a post peel Infusion Treatment about 6-8 weeks after the 2nd peel.

Clients usually continue with regular Infusion Treatments every 4-7 weeks (depending on desired support level) until it is time to reboot the Elaine Brennan Peel 10-12 months later.

Technically it could be used on any area of skin, but the primary areas we suggest are #1: face/neck combo & #2: chest/hands combo.

The best candidates are individuals who have already taken steps to get their skin into a healthy & well-functioning place through proper home care and professional treatments.

If your skin isn’t used to remodeling or restructuring on a regular basis, then it will be harder for it to hold onto these bigger changes.

Everyone will have beautiful initial results, but in order to have long lasting results you will need to be assessed to ensure your skin is ready for the challenge. We require that clients have completed a minimum of 2 regular peels with us prior to switching over to the new peel system.

*Think of this as a “walk before you run” philosophy…if you are just learning how to crawl, you wouldn’t sign up to run a marathon, right? Similarly, if your skin is unaccustomed to clinical work then it wouldn’t be appropriate to throw the toughest treatment at it on day one.

If you are prone to these, then you will want to start a round of anti-viral meds at least 3 days before the big peel to ensure you do not have a breakout.

Any stimulating treatment can bring out a fever blister, and we want to minimize any unnecessary discomfort. It would also be ok if you already take L-Lysine daily as a preventative.
