Advanced Rejuvenating Concepts IPL skin firming systems, ultrasound units, and galvanic technology can each offer a degree of firming and lifting to the skin, but how far are you willing to go with your facial treatments? Advanced Rejuvenating Concepts has each one of these solutions available for your treatment room, but for those who need an affordable “quick-fix” for eyes and lips, we suggest the galvanic pen. Put vibrant eyes and deliciously plump lips on your service menu at a small additional cost to your clientele. Advanced Rejuvenating Concepts has created a desirable addition to any facial service that uses galvanic technology to penetrate stimulating and lifting ingredients into the skin for beautiful results. Step 1 - Gently wash away dead skin, makeup, and impurities with Fruitzyme® Cleanser. Natural fruit enzymes effectively cleanse the skin for a nice, clean pallet to work with. Once the cleanser is removed, tone the skin with Fruitzyme® Conditioner. Rich in enzymes and lactic acid, this skin conditioner removes residue, provides antioxidants, and hydrates the skin. Step 2 - Apply Essential Eyes: Amino Peptide Complex with vitamins A, B, C, and D to the outside edge of the eyes and lips. Concentrate Essential Eyes over problematic areas, such as crow’s feet, marionette lines, and the vermillion border of the lips. Essential Eyes contains many beneficial vitamins for skin support and antioxidant protection, along with a phytosterol complex, palmitoyl oligopeptide and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 for stimulating microcirculation and collagen development in the skin. Step 3 - Turn the galvanic pen on and set to low, medium, or high, depending on your client’s tolerance level. When using the galvanic pen, one hand must touch the head while the other hand maneuvers the pen over the desired area. This completes the electrical current that is sent from the tip of the pen. Step 4 - Once the pen is on, touch the tip of the pen to the skin surface and move slowly over a dime sized area. Once the pen gives a quiet “beep” move to the next dime sized area of skin. Continue to penetrate Essential Eyes into the eye area with the galvanic pen until the product is completely absorbed into the skin. Working under the eye will help reduce puffiness, while manipulating the product around the crow’s feet and brow area promotes plumping and lifting. Step 5 - Change your hand positioning before you begin the lip area. Place one hand at either the left or right mandible with the opposite hand conducting the motion of the pen. Start with a dime-sized area around the lips and move with each “beep.” Start with the lower area of the lip and work your way up the nasolabial fold. Once the marionette lines have been addressed, move to the upper lip and vermillion border. This pattern of action will help plump up nasolabial folds and lips, and reduce the appearance of fine lines. Step 6 - Now that all of the Essential Eyes Complex is penetrated into our key areas of the face, let’s add some finishing touches! Lip Renewal is applied to the lips for additional moisture and firming. This moisture rich lip rejuvenator contains cocoa butter, witch hazel, jojoba, green tea, and palmitoyl oligopeptide for antioxidant protection and improvement in microcirculation. Sales Tip: Have Lip Renewal and Essential Eyes at the checkout counter waiting for your client as they exit your treatments room. Tell them a little about the product and what it can do for their skin. Step 7 - After applying Lip Renewal, use a small amount of Post Peel Balm to give a glossy shine to the lips and brows. This will enhance the glow of their skin after this treatment. Advanced Rejuvenating Concepts galvanic eye and lip treatment is a great service addition for most all skin types. If you prefer, the galvanic pen not only makes an economical tool for aestheticians, but can be a profitable retail item as well. Want to read more?
