Q

Benefits of a microdermabrasion device (6)

A

Increasing micro circulation
Stimulating muscles
Helping products absorb into skin
Cleansing surface of the skin
Deep cleaning pores
Stimulating lymphatic system circulation

20
Q

Steamer benefits (4)

A

Dilates pores
Increases micro circulation
Softens impurities
Aids exfoliation

21
Q

Rotating brush benefits (3)

A

Mild exfoliation
Deep cleanses
Increases micro circulation

22
Q

Vacuum spray atomizer description

A

Sprays the surface of the skin with a gentle mist of a water based solution

23
Q

Vacuum spray atomizer benefits

A

Calms
Hydrates
pH balance

24
Q

Vacuum suction description

A

Draws out dirt, impurities, and sebum from surface of the skin and uses attachments (ventouse) to perform stimulating massage such as mechanical lymph drainage massage

25
Q

Vacuum suction benefits

A

Circulates blood and lymph nodes
Reduces swelling
Gently exfoliates

26
Q

Thermal effect and its effect on the skin

A

Warms the tissue
Stimulates fibroblasts for repair
Stimulates collagen

27
Q

Mechanical or magnetic effect and its effect on the skin

A

Increases micro circulation
Increases hydration
Increases desquamation
Reduces bacteria

28
Q

Electrochemical effect and its effect on the skin

A

Increases permeability with water-based products
Tissue tightening
Increases fluid movement
Reduces erythema
Increases micro circulation

29
Q

High frequency uses

A

An alternating current with high voltage and low amperage; uses multiple electrodes for different applications

30
Q

Spark gap def

A

When oxygen in air around the electrode is electrified and creates a low amount of ozone gas

31
Q

Direct high frequency description and benefits

A

Direct application of electrode on the skin

Stimulates surface tissue,creates heat on surface of the skin, increases circulation and blood flow, helps heal existing papules and pustules, delivers germicidal effect and kills bacteria, and reduces inflammation after hair removal

32
Q

Indirect high frequency description and benefits

A

Also known as Viennese Massage; performed while client holds saturator electrode

Warms tissues, stimulates sebum production and secretion, induces relaxation, increases product penetration, assists in massage for mature skin, stimulates micro circulation, and stimulates lymph circulation

33
Q

Sparking (fulguration) description and benefits

A

Direct application over blemishes with a small contact electrode using an up and down movement to create a “spark gap”

Uses the formation of ozone to produce a mild germicidal effect on skin, creates heat on surface of skin, good for after extraction, calms skin, reduces redness, reduces inflammation, and effective with acne and occasional breakouts

34
Q

Galvanic device description

A

Current passes through the skin and an acidic or alkaline solution and an electrochemical effect is produced

35
Q

3 electrochemical effects of direct current

A

Iontophoresis
Desincrustation
Electrolysis

36
Q

Galvanic device applications (2)

A

Deep cleansing or desincrustation
Product infusion or iontophoresis

37
Q

Desincrustation treatment

A

Treatment in which blockages in the skin (clogged pores or blackheads) are broken down due to saponification (soap-making process)

38
Q

Iontophoresis treatment

A

Treatment in which water-soluble compounds are pushed into the epidermis

39
Q

Anaphoresis description

A

Type of transmission that allows an alkaline solution to enter the skin when the negative pole of an electrode is used on the skin

40
Q

Anaphoresis description

A

Type of transmission that allows an alkaline solution to enter the skin when the negative pole of an electrode is used on the skin

41
Q

Cataphoresis description

A

Type of transmission that allows an acidic solution to enter the skin when the positive pole of an electrode is used in the skin

42
Q

Anaphoresis benefits

A

Stimulates micro circulation, softens tissues creating some desquamation, dilates pores, stimulates nerve endings, and reduces edema

43
Q

Cataphoresis benefits

A

Increases product absorption in skin, tightens and firms the tissue, constricts blood vessels and pores, soothes nerve endings and decreases sensitivity, and relieves post-extraction irritation

44
Q

Lucas spray pulverizer use

A

Atomizes distilled water and herbs or essential oils to spray on skin; uses a chamber of heated water to create steam, then its pushed through nozzle opening; steam is forced through nozzle, picks up herbs or essential oils within container

45
Q

Lucas spray pulverizer benefits

A

Hydrating
Calming (chamomile-reduces redness and irritation)
Astringent (acidic herbs like witch hazel)

46
Q

Cold setting on hammer benefits

A

Constricts pores, reduces inflammation and micro circulation, calms irritation, and reduces edema

47
Q

Hot setting on hammer benefits

A

Dilates pores, increases micro circulation, soothes nerves, and relaxes muscles
