Wrinkles with movement, some UV damage, some sagging along jawline

Increase microcirculation, tissue tightening, desquamation

22

25
Q

Pigmentation service recommendations

26
Q

Acne grade 1 description

A

Non-inflammatory acne; comedones and a few pustules

27
Q

Acne grade 2 description

A

Comedones, papules, and a few pustules

28

30
Q

3 phases of facial

A

Increase
Balance
Decrease

31
Q

Stimulation def

A

Microcirculation, cell turnover, and natural skin moisture increased

32
Q

Microcirculation helps what and benefits what conditions

A

Skin gets nutrients that improve cellular function, move lymph fluid, deep cleanse, and increase natural hydration

Cleansing may show redness

Aging and texture

33
Q

Desquamation stimulates? It helps? Conditions that benefit?

A

Stimulates cell turnover

Helps improve skin barrier strength, reduces dead skin cell buildup, pigmented spots and wrinkles, and increases cell turnover time

Aging, texture, acne, and pigmentation

34
Q

Tissue tightening helps what and which conditions benefit?

A

Helps reduce appearance of sagging skin and wrinkles; promotes cellular health, muscle stimulation, and hydration

Aging

35
Q

Hydration helps what and which conditions benefit?

A

Helps reduce appearance of fine lines, improves texture, helps repair skin’s barrier; improves skin health by balancing secretions and skin microflora; increases water content within stratum corneum

Sensitivity and aging

36
Q

Goal of balance phase is to

A

Protect skins barrier by improving stratum corneum hydration, reducing bacteria, and assisting cellular health

37
Q

Hydration in the balance phase and conditions that benefit

A

Proper water content within the skin protects the skins barrier and improves cellular function

Texture, pigmentation, and acne

38
Q

Protection in the balance phase and conditions that benefit

A

Protecting cells from free-radical damage, glycation and water loss helps improve skin function; maintain and repair skins barrier

Aging

39
Q

Oil in the balance phase and conditions that benefit

A

Balanced oil production reduces bacteria overgrowth and helps balance natural hydration in the stratum corneum

Texture and acne

40
Q

Goal of the decrease phase

A

To improve skin appearance by reducing inflammation and bacteria overgrowth, slowing melanocyte overproduction, and decreasing skin barrier dysfunction

41
Q

Why decreasing redness/inflammation is good, how to do it, and what conditions does it benefit

A

Reducing inflammation promotes healthy cellular function

Use cool compresses, cool devices, and soothing serums

Sensitivity, acne, aging, and pigmentation

42
Q

Why decreasing microcirculation is good, how to do it, and what conditions does it benefit

A

Some skin conditions can be made worse with overstimulation

Use stimulating massage movements, hot towels, and steam

Sensitivity

43
Q

Why decreasing rough texture is good, how to do it, and what conditions does it benefit

A

Dead skin buildup: prevents active ingredients from absorbing, makes conditions like fine lines look worse, promotes breakouts, and gives skin a generally dull appearance

Use modalities to help reduce stratum corneum buildup

Texture

44
Q

Modalities used in decrease phase

A

Exfoliation using enzymes
Galvanic current
Cool temperatures
Specific massage movements

45
Q

Why improving discomfort is good and what conditions does it benefit (decreasing phase)

A

Helps reduce skin inflammation; could also be a contraindication

Sensitivity

46
Q

Why decreasing edema is good, how to do it, and what conditions does it benefit

A

Healthy lymph circulation improves skin health and reduces puffiness in areas such as around the eyes

Help move fluid and stimulate lymphatic system

Sensitivity

47
Q

Why improving discoloration is good, how to do it, and what conditions does it benefit

A

Epidermal discoloration improves with exfoliation and use of products that block melanin formation; pigmentation is triggered by internal and external stress, use caution

Pigmentation

48
Q

Why decreasing oil/bacteria is good and what conditions does it benefit

A

Oil imbalance within the skin promotes pustules, blackheads, and papules

Acne

49
Q

The “teach” step ensures

A

Your client fully understands skin analysis, recommended treatments, and products to use at home
