cap or headband for hair protection.

Application:
• Cleansing
1. Remove eye makeup with Vitamin Veil Cleanser.
2. Place a few drops of Lipid Replacing Cleanser onto fingertips and apply to client’s face and
neck.
3. Cleanse in a circular motion and rinse thoroughly.
4. Apply eye pads moistened with water.
5. Place a thin layer of vaseline on the lips and nasolabila junction with a Q-tip swab.
6. At this point, take a minute to check the skin under the magnifying light, looking for any skin ir-
regularities that might have been hidden by make-up during the initial evaluation.
Jessner Solution Protocol

• Treatment
1. Dispense 3 ml of peel solution into a cup.
2. Give client hand held fan to hold and direct at face.
3. Using a cotton 4x4 or brush carefully dip into solution pressing onto the side of the cup to remove
excess. Apply one layer section-by-section beginning at the forehead, cheeks, nose, and finish-
ing with jaw line lightly feathering down onto the neck. Keep pressure and quantity of solution
constant. Do not allow product to “pool” in folds of the skin. This is a sign of too much peel solu-
tion.
4. Let the peel dry on the skin for approximately 7 to 10 minutes between layers, starting with just
one layer for the initial peel.
5. Always use the 1 to 10 scale with the client. Ask the client how it feels on a scale of 1 to 10, ten
being an intolerable burning sensation. NOTE: If client reports a 7 or higher do not apply any ad-
ditional layers.
6. When a mild frost is seen it can be brushed off with a cotton wipe or fan brush. Frosting in the
Jessner’s is the result of 1. re-crystallization of acid, and/or 2. the breaking down and coagulation
of proteins, which may have a different appearance. Both types are normal and to be expect-
ed. You can apply up to three layers but, NEVER more than three.
7. The Jessner’s peel is in a ethanol base and is self-neutralizing*, meaning it is applied in one or
more layers and allowed to dry. DO NOT attempt to apply any additional products to treated
area.

• Completing Treatment
1. Instruct client on home care and schedule follow up appointment.

• Home Care
1. Do not put face directly under hot shower.
2. Do not use Jacuzzis, steam rooms or saunas.
3. Do not participate in activites that would cause excessive sweating.
4. Do not use any scrubs or mechanical forms of exfoliation.
5. No scrubs, retinoic acids, AHA’s, BHA’s, or astringments until the skin has healed.
6. DO NOT PEEL OR PICK AT THE SKIN.
7. Do not wash face for 24 hours after the peel.
8. After 24 hours cleanse with the Vitamin Veil Cleanser, applying to fingertips and lightly cleanse in
a circular motion over face and neck. DO NOT USE A CLOTH.
9. Splash face gently with cool water, rinse and pat dry.
10. Continue using Vitamin Veil Cleanser for 7 days after the peel.
11. Apply 2 drops of Vitamin C Reversal Serum, allow to dry.
12. Apply Post Peel Balm for 7-10 days after the peel or until peeling is complete.
13. Avoid direct sunlight for the duration of the peel(up to 10 days). If this is unavoidable apply Light
Day Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF-37. SUN PROTECTION AT ALL TIMES IS VERY IMPORTANT.
14. Continue normal home regimen after peeling is completed. The use of retinols can resume 14
days after the peel.

*Jessner Peels should be 3-4 months apart if multiple peels are necessary to correct specific skin conditions.
