Principles of electricity
The form of energy that produces light, heat, magnetic and chemical changes and travels in a circuit.
What is electricity.
Facial treatments that require the use of electricity.
What is electrotherapy.
Used to help determine best possible course of treatment.
What is skin analysis equipment.
This form of electrotherapy is best following extractions.
What is direct high frequency.
Closed path; required for electricity to power an appliance.
What is a Circuit.
A material that does not allow current to pass through it and allows you to handle electricity safely.
What is an insulator.
Only constant direct current of low voltage and high amperage that produces an electrochemical effect.
What is Galvanic current.
Provides light and magnification for skin analysis after cleansing of skin; helpful when performing extractions.
What is a magnifying lamp.
The form of Galvanic current on a negative polarity used to soften oily blockages in skin.
What is desincrustation.
Broken path; when the switch is off.
What is an Open Circuit.
This is a unit of electrical strength.
What is an Amp.
Actual process of forcing water-based solution into the skin by applying Galvanic Current to the solution.
What is Phoresis.
Often considered the most important piece of equipment in a facial treatment; sprays lukewarm water and diffused vapor mist onto surface of facial skin.
What is a facial steamer.
Best electro-therapy treatment for wrinkles and premature aging.
What is indirect high-frequency.
Path on which electrons leave the source and operate an appliance; switch is on.
What is a Closed Circuit.
This is a unit of electrical pressure.
What is a volt.
Allows ALKALINE solution to enter skin when assisted by Galvanic Current and the negative pole of an electrode.
What is Anaphoresis.
Uses violet rays or black light and magnification to analyze skin conditions.
What is a Wood's Lamp.
Type of Galvanic current often referred to as "bleaching of the skin".
What is Phoresis.
Technical term for any appliance that requires electricity to work.
What is a Load.
This is a unit of electrical resistance.
What is an Ohm.
A treatment in which blockages in the skin are BROKEN DOWN, also known as deep pore cleansing; solutions used are alkaline and have a negative charge.
What is Desincrustation.
A more expensive and elaborate magnifying mirror that incorporates a black light.
What is a skin scope (dermascope).
Galvanic current that allows an acidic solution to enter the skin with the positive pole of an electrode.
What is Cataphoresis.
This indicates and regulates amount of current flowing through equipment.
What is a Rheostat.
The term used for electricity that passes through a small part of the body; can cause burns and muscle contractions.
What is local shock.
Alternating current that produces a mechanical reaction; stimulating the motor point of muscle tissue.
What is Faradic Current
What is the role of a Diopter?
What is measures the degree of magnification.
Type of current that produces soothing benefits and believed to help preserve muscle tone.
What is Faradic Current.
Safety device that prevents electrical wires from over heating.
What is a fuse.
Acronym for the fire extinguisher operation protocol.
What is PASS.
Pull the pin on the handle
Aim hose at base of fire, from 6 feet away
Squeeze handle to begin flow of chemical
Spray chemical discharge back and forth over fire
Type of combination light that can be broken into individual wavelengths by a prism.
What is white light.
Name for an atomizer that allows the application of herbs, extracts or astringents.
What is an Electric Pulverizer Spray or Lucas Spray.
Type of current preferred for middle-aged to older clients; produces deep muscle contractions.
What is Sinusoidal Current.
Occurs when a conductor comes into contact with wire carrying a load.
What is a Short Circuit.
