Treatment Approaches
Estheticians study advanced techniques so they can deliver safe, effective, and personalized treatment results. What is this called?
Treatment customizations
Exfoliation can be performed using physical or chemical methods such as scrubs, enzymes, AHAs, BHAs, or what?
Mechanical exfoliation (microdermabrasion, dermaplane)
Masks are considered a key component in facials because they can stimulate or _________ the skin.
Calm
All clients with rosacea have this type of skin.
Sensitive skin
A dehydrated client needs added steam and hydrating serums early in the treatment to help products do this.
Penetrate
Alternating warm and cool applications during a facial to stimulate or calm tissue is known as this principle.
Thermotherapy (heat and cool theory)
These exfoliating agents help break down keratin using biological activity rather than friction.
Enzymes
Masks achieve results partly because they are applied in this manner, increasing circulation beneath them.
Occlusively (occlusion)
The number one rule when treating sensitive skin is to protect this essential skin defense layer.
The barrier function
When treating oily or congested skin, this step becomes a priority after steam and exfoliation.
Extractions
When very dehydrated, this layer becomes resistant to product penetration.
Stratum corneum
This peel solution is stronger than AHAs/BHAs and can be used superficially but is commonly associated with deeper medical peeling.
Jessner’s solution
Mint, camphor, and clove in masks are stimulating ingredients that activate which system of the body?
Circulatory system
AHA exfoliants with this pH or higher may be acceptable only if the skin is NOT already inflamed.
3.5 or greater
This client group requires simpler, gentle routines.
Young teenagers
This product can be used multiple times during a facial to pH balance, hydrate, soothe, or strip the skin.
Toner
When using microdermabrasion after dividing the face into sections, about how many strokes per area are you doing before checking skin response.
10
This powder mask type produces a warming reaction as it cures and is sometimes called a thermal modelage mask.
Plaster mask (or thermal mask)
Chamomile, feverfew, sea whip, licorice extract, and azulene are used in sensitive skin care because they provide this benefit.
Calming or desensitizing
These enhancement techniques, such as ultrasound, microcurrent, and iontophoresis, are used to boost product absorption.
Modalities
A client with flushing, visible capillaries, or triggers from heat requires caution because they may have this condition.
Rosacea
A medium peel removes the entire epidermis and part of the papillary dermis and must be performed by what licensed professional.
A physician
Powder masks made of alginate are considered this style of mask and may include conditioning ingredients.
Soft-setting masks
Product safety for sensitive skin should be confirmed through this type of testing, not marketing language.
Independent low-irritancy testing
Using different masks in different areas of the face.
Zone therapy (mapping)
