Witness a transformation of the skin with

Advanced Rejuvenating Concepts unique

product formulations.

sess a deep-rooted understanding of unique skin care concerns. Every treatment

spa and medical aesthetic facility, the Skin Rejuvenation Clinique.

therapeutic concentrations of independently researched ingredients. They have

the ability to deliver immediate results and long-lasting benefits toward graceful

aging and healthy, resilient skin.

We’re dedicated to helping each individual attain the results they desire, which is

medical aesthetic applications, we believe fully in the combined power of profes-

sional evaluations, treatment plans, and a beneficial home regimen.

OUR SKIN CARE GOALS

Every skin care concern is unique. Your personal beauty goals, ethnic background,

life, which is why Advanced Rejuvenating Concepts’ treatment plans are so effec-

tive–we call this Concierge Aesthetics.

eted results for beautiful, flawless, and healthy skin.

Concierge Aesthetics

Aesthetician

Purveyor of everything beauty and skin related.

At Advanced Rejuvenating Concepts, we believe an aesthetician’s role is not limited

to skin care, but the beauty realm. We call this Concierge Aesthetics. Aesthetician’s

have the ability to educate clientele and help each individual achieve their best look

ever. From makeup application to non-invasive medical procedures for rejuvenation,

we believe aestheticians should have many different resources to extend their

consulting capabilities to their clients.

Cosmeceutical Care

Products that are formulated to offer a benecial change

to the skin and improve skin health and radiance.

In the skin care industry, we have mass-produced products, cosmeceutical products

and prescription products. Skin care products that are distributed by grocery

stores are formulated to be safe, hydrate and offer some sort of benefit, but they

do not change the skin. That is considered a reaction. Rejuvenating the skin

requires a reaction, we want the skin to change–this is the result.

Aesthetic Physicians

Providers who offer medical aesthetic procedures

that rejuvenate the skin.

Medical procedures range from non/minimally invasive procedures to surgery with

the capability to smooth wrinkles, even skin tone and correct laxity. These proce-

dures are necessary to make immediate changes to the look of the face, neck and

décolleté, but are not a substitute for aesthetic treatments.

Aestheticians complement these procedures by helping clients maintain their

results and protect the investment of medical procedures. Without aestheticians,

the long-term benefits are lost because the client did not take proactive means to

maintain their results.

About Chemical Peels

Effective, economical and the foundation

of Concierge Aesthetics.

Chemical peels have the ability to exfoliate up to 0.06 mm of dead skin cells–a fine strand of hair.

Formulations differ between home use and professional use. Home peel solutions are buffered, have

a slightly acidic pH, and are generally found in concentrations of less than 10%. Professional peel

formulations vary by the percentage of acid in the solution, pH, and buffering of the solution. Which

is why protocols from different manufacturers vary.

ALPHA HYDROXY ACIDS

A class of chemical compounds derived from food sources: glycolic, lactic, malic, tartaric, mandel-

ic, and citric. They have the ability to penetrate the top layer of skin and have a profound effect on

keratinization by diminishing cellular cohesion between keratinocytes. Glycolic and lactic acids have

been shown to increase glycosaminoglycans (GAG’s) and collagen synthesis.

· Glycolic Peel 15%, 2.8 pH and Glycolic Peel 30%, 2.5 pH

· Lactic Peel 30%, 1.9 pH

BETA HYDROXY ACIDS

Salicylic acid, derived from willow tree bark, has offered many medicinal benefits for centuries, as a

chemical peel solution, it acts as a bacteriostatic agent (neutralizes bacteria), keratolytic (thins the skin

and causes it to loosen and shed), and comedolytic (prevents the formation of comedones).

· Salicylic Peel 20%, 2.2 pH

ENZYMES

Mild exfoliants derived from specific plant sources, including pineapple (bromelain), papaya (papain), and

pumpkin (protease). Enzymes diminish cellular cohesion of dead skin cells and offer antioxidant support.

· Blue Enzyme Peel 30% Lactic Acid

· Citrus-C Enzyme Peel 30% Glycolic Acid

· Pumpkin Enzyme Peel 30% Glycolic Acid

Not included in this presentation are superficial to mid-depth peel solutions, including Jessner,

modified Jessner, TCA, and retinol peels. Please request more information regarding advanced peel

procedures and Advanced Rejuvenating Concepts clinical peel solutions.

Skin ID

Our skin changes with the seasons of the year and the seasons

of life. Therefore, Advanced Rejuvenating Concepts products

are formulated to be interchangeable based on 4 common

skin types and 6 common Concerns. Our philosophy, treat

the problem and keep the skin balanced.

Skin Types

The foundation of consultation and the proper home regimen is in determining

your client’s Skin Type. You can do this by identifying the abundance or lack of

oil on the skin’s surface. Maintaining a balance is an important characteristic of

healthy skin.

NORMAL / WELL BALANCED

Normal skin types have a healthy look and are not oily or dry. The goal for this

skin type is to maintain this balance, improve skin radiance and texture, and pre-

vent environmental damage in all seasons.

OILY / EXCESS SHINE

Oil glands are overproducing, resulting in excess shine, a greasy look to the skin,

and breakouts. Advanced Rejuvenating Concepts products for Oily Skin/Acne help

manage oil production, reduce breakouts and prevent environmental damage.

DRY / DULL AND LINED

Characterized by a dull appearance, tight feel and fine lines, dry skin types suffer

from natural moisture loss. Improve the look and feel of dry skin with a combina-

tion of products that help fortify the skin’s barrier against the elements, seal in

hydration, and help improve the skin’s elasticity.

COMBINATION / T-ZONE

Commonly referred to as t-zone, combination skin types are characterized as

having increased oil and shine from the forehead down the nose and the chin,

with dry regions on the cheeks. Balancing this skin type with Advanced Rejuve-

nating Concepts product range helps prevent environmental damage, breakouts

and blackheads, while refining the pores and improving the look of the skin.

ADVANCED REJUVENATING CONCEPTS

Skin Concerns

As aesthetic professionals, we’ve learned that skin care regimens should evolve with the changes of

the seasons and changes related to aging. Identifying your clients skin types is the foundation of the

regimen. Identifying the skin’s Concern will help target the regimen and get your client on the path to

healthier and more radiant skin.

Learn more about skin types and concerns at ARCSkinCare.com and visit the Blog, Education, or

Press pages for webinar recordings and published articles. Advanced Rejuvenating Concepts’ Educators

can also offer specific product and treatment knowledge in phone consultations or online webinar

workshops. Call 800 689-0499 to schedule a consultation time.

HYPERPIGMENTATION

Uneven skin tone, dark spots or discolorations

are a result of chronic sun damage, melasma, or

acne. Advanced Rejuvenating Concepts’ Hy-

perpigmentation product range is formulated

to lighten discolorations and encourage a more

even skin tone by suppressing pigment-inducing

melanocytes. Over time, the skin will appear

more luminous and even-toned.

AGING

A combination of chronic environmental damage

and intrinsic aging, this skin Concern is char-

acterized as thin, with fine lines and wrinkling,

poor elasticity and dryness. Advanced Rejuvenat-

ing Concepts’ Cellular Solutions range is specifi-

cally formulated to restore radiance to the skin by

encouraging collagen synthesis and smoothing

the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

DEHYDRATION

Skin that lacks essential water and has a cello-

phane-like appearance to the superficial layers is

characterized as dehydrated. Advanced Rejuve-

nating Concepts Clinical skin care products for

dehydration focus on exfoliating and infusing

hydration back into the skin. Results may include

increased absorption, improved barrier function,

reduced breakouts, and restored radiance to

lackluster skin.

ACNE

Generally related to hormonal changes in the

body, acne can develop in teens and adults,

and is characterized by the type and severity

of lesions it presents. Advanced Rejuvenating

Concepts’ Oily Skin/Acne product range is for-

mulated to help manage oil production, prevent

cellular buildup, and decrease the occurrence of

breakouts in teens and adults.

ROSACEA

Flushed skin, redness, acne-like lesions and vis-

ible blood vessels on the skin surface may be the

result of an underlying Concern called rosacea.

Advanced Rejuvenating Concepts’ Sensitive

Skin/Rosacea product range is formulated to

gently refine the skin, reduce redness, and offer

vascular support with a proprietary combination

of anti-inflammatory agents and antioxidants.

SENSITIVE SKIN

Characterized and skin that reacts with burning,

itching and sometimes inflammation to a variety

of topical or environmental triggers; sensitive skin

is a surprisingly common Concern. Advanced

Rejuvenating Concepts’ solutions for sensitiv-

ity encourage healthy regeneration and provide

the skin with essential nutrients while helping to

prevent environmental triggers of sensitivity.

ADVANCED REJUVENATING CONCEPTS

Consultation &

Skin Evaluation

Skin care is not simple and you should never take

an individual’s skin at face value.

One of the most fundamental components to any skin care practice is the intake

form. It lets clients know what they may experience in the treatment room and

provides you with the essential information necessary to give them a safe and

beneficial treatment. A consultation and evaluation should be performed with all

clients, new and seasoned.

Skin care is not simple and you should never take an individual’s skin at face

value. Although there are ten key points in this article to help guide you, this

process is simple and may easily be achieved in ten to fifteen minutes. Read the

intake form and consent form as your client is disrobing and perform the analysis

before, during, and after you cleanse and tone the skin.

Simple changes in topical skin care products, medications, hormones, and diseas-

es can all create a variable in your treatment that was not present in the previous

visit. Take your practice and your client’s well being into consideration with every

treatment you perform to help build a safe practice and a long-lasting relationship.

ADVANCED REJUVENATING CONCEPTS

10 Tips to Successful Treatments

1. Inform Your Client

From chemicals to waxing, every client should

complete an informed consent and release form.

This document is written to notify your client of

the potential outcomes that may happen as a

result of this service. It protects them as consum-

ers and dually protects you in the event that

an adverse outcome takes place, and the client

needs to seek medical attention or looks to legal

advise against you. You should also inform them

of the care that needs to be taken before or after

a facial treatment to help protect their skin and

their results.

2. Use an Intake Form

Aside from an informed consent and release doc-

ument, the intake form contains valuable infor-

mation that you need to know before conducting

a treatment. This includes past treatments the

client has had performed, known allergies, medi-

cations, concerns, and the basics of what they’re

using at home on their skin. Without this docu-

ment you do not have all the information you

need to perform a safe and beneficial treatment.

Verbal questions may not always prevent the

best defense with your insurance company, state

board or lawyer.

3. Identify the Clients Concern

This can be a question in the intake form and is

a valuable tool to help target your treatment to

their immediate concern, get them on the path

to a great result, and increase your chance of

rebooking and referrals from that client.

4. Visual Skin Analysis

Once the documents are read and the cli-

ents concern is identified, you may proceed

to a visual skin analysis. Knowing your clients

concern and visualizing the changes in texture,

color, thickness and pore appearance can clue

you in to what that client may experience with

your treatment. A visual skin analysis may also

alert you to prescription use, particular areas

that may require medical attention, or lesions on

the surface that should not be aggravated. With

a trained eye, you will learn many things about

their skin that could be a result of hormone

changes, diseases and medication side effects.

5. Client History

We’re not looking for their life story, just the per-

tinent skin-related information. What made them

choose your facility for a treatment? What treat-

ments they have experienced in the past? Is this

his/her first time experiencing a facial or waxing

service? Have they received an exfoliation treat-

ment within the past four weeks? The answers to

these questions can clue you in to what has/has

not worked for them in the past and give you an

advantage to keeping them coming to you for

skin care services. These questions can also help

protect your business in the event that a client is

opting for a service that was not recommended

by another professional for safety reasons.

6. Use Guides

These universal scales are designed to help you

as a skin care professional determine a skin.

When used together they are a great guideline

for your treatment path and recommendations,

but we must also remember to consider ethnicity.

ADVANCED REJUVENATING CONCEPTS

10 Tips to Successful Treatments - Continued

The Fitzpatrick Skin Type Classification (FPSTC)

is based on six categories that have been defined

for basic skin color/pigmentation and the skin’s

response to ultraviolet exposure. Utilizing this

scale for skin analysis and consultation purposes

will aid in determining the care and maintenance

that will need to be done at home and in the

treatment room. The Fitzpatrick Scale can be

considered a foundation to the skin analysis pro-

cess, but should not be used alone in determin-

ing a course of action for the skin.

The Glogau Scale aids the skin care professional

in determining what stage of photoaging the cli-

ent may have. Photoaging (unlike chronological

aging) is a direct result of UV and free radical ex-

posure the skin receives. When determining eligi-

bility for chemical peel treatments, the Glogau

Scale can help determine the treatment series.

7. Identify Ethnicity

As mentioned in the introduction, America is a

melting pot that presents many colors of multira-

cial skin. Celebrity Golfer, Tiger Woods refers to

his nationality as “Cablinasian,” a term he made

to describe his “Caucasian, Black, American-

Indian and Asian” ethnicity. This is important to

consider because you may be presented with a

client who has a Fitzpatrick II appearance, but

has Mediterranean, African American or Japa-

nese dispositions that could increase that client’s

sensitivity, hyper- or hypo-pigment their skin, or

scar them.

8. Treatment Path & Home Regimen

Documenting the treatment and your proposed

treatment plan is a great way to keep a self-re-

minder on the client’s treatment and identify the

client’s reaction to the treatment. In the event

he/she experienced a reaction immediately or

within 24 hours of the service, you will be able

to reference the products used and adjust the

form properly so any adverse reaction does not

happen in future appointments. Communicating

a treatment plam that will offer them the best

benefit is a great way to maintain communication

and build a relationship with the client. The same

holds for the suggested regimen they should be

using at home.

9. Marketing & Follow-Up

Use the personal information provided by the

client to follow through with the service. After

the initial treatment send a thank you card, email

or phone call to the client. Let them know that

you appreciate their business, invite them to call

with questions about their skin, or to pre-book

an appointment. If you have not seen particu-

lar clients for an extended period, give them a

phone call to let them know that you miss seeing

their face, hope they think about you for future

appointments. Consent and consultation forms

are tools for the treatment room that dually help

build business.

10. Repeat for Every Visit

These documents are living, breathing and evolv-

ing correspondence about each visit your client

has. Whether you perform a waxing service or

laser treatment, documenting the care you give

them is a vital component to your client’s safety

and for the safety of your business.

Aesthetic Guidelines

Before administering any treatment on a client, a thorough consultation is necessary to note any

changes they may have in their daily life and routine. This includes stress, increased sun exposure,

new medications or the discontinuation of previous medications, or bodily changes. Both physical

and emotional factors play a key role in the skin appearance and care that is taken at home. Before

conducting any peel treatment always ask your client the following questions.

ARC Peel Solution Rules

Our professional treatments are targeted to meet

the needs of the client. This is determined with a

Consultation and Skin Analysis prior to the treatment.

Here are a few things you should note for every

Advanced Rejuvenating Concepts’ Peel Protocol:

Always perform a Consultation and Skin Analysis

prior to every treatment.

Choose a peel solution that will best suit their

skin’s individual needs and give a beneficial result.

Peel treatments should be administered every 4

to 6 weeks. Some exceptions may apply.

Never perform a peel on skin with open lesions,

inflammation, or unknown disorders.

Never use hot towels or steam.

Never set a timer after applying a peel, always

watch for signs of over-exfoliation.

Always reference your Consultation Form for

contraindications or allergies.

We advocate eyebrow, lip, and chin waxing prior

to a peel to help the client achieve a clean, refreshed

look. Wax these areas after cleansing and apply

a thin layer of Post Peel recovery balm to the

waxed areas of skin to help prevent burning.

Then apply your peel. Full-face waxing should

be performed in-between facial procedures and

never during the peel procedure.

Tools of the Trade

Having over 25 years experience in building

a skin care business and product line, we’ve

discovered that there are a few basic tools that

every treatment room needs.

Here are the essentials you need for Advanced

Rejuvenating Concepts Professional treatments:

EQUIPMENT

Keep it simple. Facial treatment rooms should

consist of an aesthetic bed, maglamp, cabinet

and/or a trolley. No bulky multifunction units–

especially steamers or towel warmers.

AESTHETIC TECHNOLOGY

Ultrasonic Rejuvenation System, Crystal Micro-

dermabrasion and Crystal-Free/Diamond Micro-

dermabrasion machines are easily customized to

each skin concern and can be incorporated with

Advanced Rejuvenating Concepts Professional

peel solutions.

BASIC SKIN SUPPLIES

Synthetic fan peel brush, natural mask brush,

synthetic body peel brush, cotton squares (we

like Webril pads), round cellulose sponges, 27.5

gauge lancet for extraction assistance, derma-

planers (disposable, no scalpels), stainless steel

bowls for water and small ones for peel solu-

tions, towels and linens, disposable gloves,

wooden tipped cotton swabs. Not including

basic sanitation solutions (alcohol, bleach, etc).

ADVANCED REJUVENATING CONCEPTS

Aesthetician’s Checklist

1. Vitamin A

Vitamin A products (tretinoin, isotretnoin, retinol)

must be discontinued for at least 48 hours prior to

treatment. Vitamin A dries the skin, allowing acids

to penetrate much faster than normal. The ending

result could lead to burning or blistering skin.

Note the use of Absorbica (new oral acne

medication, similar to Accutane). This prescrip-

tion increases the risk of adverse side effects

from peel and waxing procedures. Clients taking

this medication should have discontinued use 6

months prior to any treatment.

2. Other Medications

The key here is to look/listen for drugs that are

known blood thinners, decongestants, and anti-

histamines. Oral antihistamines and/or deconges-

tants dry the sebum of the skin, allowing acids to

penetrate much faster than normal. The ending

result could lead to burning or blistering skin.

3. Chemical Exfoliation

Hydroxy acid and benzoyl peroxide products

must be discontinued for at least 48 hours prior

to treatment. Chemical exfoliation products can

increase skin sensitivity and may cause discom-

fort or burning of the skin.

4. Facial Injections

No facial injections (Botox or filler) 48 hours

prior to a peel treatment. The acid will quickly

penetrate into the injection site, resulting in discom-

fort, burning and possible blistering. However, it

is acceptable for the client to have his/her injec-

tions performed after the peel treatment.

5. Cold Sores / Inammation

Never apply chemical to a skin that may show

signs of dermatitis or eczema as it may burn the

skin. Additionally, never peel, massage, or ma-

nipulate active/open cold sores and fever blisters.

The infection may spread if manipulated. Aes-

thetic procedures (facial and waxing) may induce

a cold sore breakout. Clients undergoing facial

rejuvenation should manage cold sore breakouts

with a prescribed antiviral medication.

6. Discolorations

Any individual seeking to brighten visible signs of

discolorations and age spots should use the Hy-

perpigmentation product range at least 2 weeks

prior to treatment plans. Darker skin types and

ethnic backgrounds with higher melanin content

are more susceptible to hyperpigmentation after

peel and/or microdermabrasion procedures.

7. Broken Capillaries

It is good practice to map any capillary damage

on a facial chart. Clients with this concern can

undergo a peel and/or Ultrasonic Rejuvenation

treatment. Microdermabrasion may increase/

contribute to capillary damage.

8. Pregnancy/Nursing Mothers

Avoid any salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide

product use at home and in the treatment room.

A deep pore cleansing facial, microderm, or

Lactic Peel may be performed.

9. Licensing

Verify that you are can legally perform this treat-

ment with your State licensing board and insurance

company. Always protect yourself and your business

with professional insurance.

ADVANCED REJUVENATING CONCEPTS

Rejuvenation Facial Protocol / The signature protocol for standard peels.

Step 1: Consultation & Prep

Cleanse and tone the skin. Perform an eyebrow clean up with Caronlab cream hard wax, and assess the

lip and chin area for excess hair growth. After waxing, apply a light layer of Post Peel to the waxed

skin and avoid applying the peel solution directly over these areas.

Step 2: Peel

Apply a light layer of peel solution with your fan brush. Avoid direct contact with the eyes. Glycolic

and lactic-based peels may be gently massaged over the skin surface with gloved hands. Always supervise

the peel and watch for visible signs of over-exfoliation. Depending on the skin’s tolerance and sensitivity,

these peel solutions may be left on the skin for up to 2 minutes.

Neutralize the peel with cellulose sponges wet in tepid water. Wet the skin with two passes of the damp

sponges and proceed to a second cleansing. Always cleanse thoroughly in regions of the face where the

peel solution may not be reached (i.e. the nasal area, lip area and any other folds or creases present).

Should the client appear overly red or frosted, apply a layer of Post Peel to the affected areas.

Step 3: Perform extractions as needed.

Extract comedones as needed. Apply your preferred Toner/Conditioner to a clean cotton pad, wrap

the dampened pad around index fingers and gently extract blemishes. For oily skin/acne extractions,

apply Clearifying Toner to the skin after extractions have been completed to help prevent the spread

of bacteria.

Step 4: Facial Massage & Mask

Perform a facial massage with Vitamin E Massage Cream or Natural Massage Cream. Avoid massag-

ing active/cystic acne skin to help prevent stimulation and the spread of infection.

Apply a light layer of Herbal Moisture Mask with your natural mask brush. The mask may be lightly

massaged while damp on the skin. Allow the mask to set for up to 15 minutes, while you perform a

neck, décolleté, arm and hand massage. Remove the mask with damp cellulose sponges.

Step 5: Complete the Treatment

Apply a moisturizer. Finish with a light application of Sun Protectant Lotion.

OPTION: Serum Addition

Before applying the moisturizer, EGF Syntheserum, Wrinkle Release, Advanced Repair, or

Opti-Renew Complex may be applied to the skin.

OUR FOUNDERS

Experience a facial with Tina Zillmann (LE, CLHRP, Founder & Executive Director) and you will witness the

science of skin rejuvenation. Having over 25 years experience in clinical aesthetic applications, she continues

to fuel her knowledge in medical aesthetics and surgical procedures that have profound impacts on the skin.

Distinguishing herself from the European day spas and what she likes to call “buff and uff facials,” Tina created

a liaison with a plastic surgeon and medical laser clinic, and founded the Skin Rejuvenation Clinique in 1991.

Within the clinic, she created Advanced Rejuvenating Concepts skin care products and became renowned in

the South Texas region for her progressive treatments for acne, acne scarring, sun damage, and melasma.

As a purveyor of healthy skin and provider of all things beauty, Tina expanded her interests into educating

women throughout the nation. Together, with her husband, Matthew, the Zillmann’s have created a business

focused around beauty, personal development, and customer service.
