CURRENTS
IT USES SPECIAL CURRENTS TO CREATE CERTAIN EFFECTS ON THE SKIN.
WHAT IS ELECTROTHERAPY?
THE PROCESS OF FORCING A WATER-BASED SOLUTION INTO THE SKIN.
WHAT IS PHORESIS?
THE METHOD THAT CREATES AN EVEN MORE POWERFUL OZONE EFFECT BY SLOWLY LIFTING THE ELECTRODE AWAY FROM THE SKIN.
WHAT IS SPARKING?
AN ALTERNATING CURRENT THAT IS INTERRUPTED TO PRODUCE A MECHANICAL, NON-CHEMICAL REACTION.

WHAT IS MECHANICAL?
THE PORTION OF THE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM HUMANS CAN SEE.
WHAT IS VISIBLE LIGHT?
THE TRANSFER OF HEAT VIA DIRECT CONTACT.
WHAT IS CONDUCTION?
THE FLOW OF ELECTRICITY ALONG A CONDUCTOR.
WHAT IS ELECTRIC CURRENT?
TYPE OF PHORESIS THAT ALLOWS AN ACIDIC SOLUTION TO ENTER THE SKIN.
WHAT IS CATAPHORESIS?
THE GAS THAT EMITS AN ORANGE COLOR INSIDE THE ELECTRODE.
WHAT IS NEON?
ESTHETICIAN WEARS A WRISTBAND WITH A MOISTENED ELECTRODE AND THE CLIENT HOLDS AN ELECTRODE TO PROVIDE A CONTINUOUS FLOW OF CURRENT.
WHAT IS INDIRECT FARADIC CURRENT?
USES CRYSTALS TO LIGHTLY EXFOLIATE THE SKIN.

WHAT IS INACTIVE ELECTRODE?
HAVING OPPOSITE POLES IN AN ELECTRICAL CURRENT.
WHAT IS POLARITY?
TREATMENT IN WHICH BLOCKAGES IN THE SKIN ARE BROKEN DOWN.
WHAT IS DESINCRUSTATION?
ITS ALSO KNOWN AS TESLA CURRENT OR VIOLET RAY.
WHAT IS HIGH FREQUENCY?
CHARACTERIZED AS A PASSIVE FORM OF EXERCISE, IT STIMULATES A TYPE OF TISSUE CAUSING THIS REACTION.
WHAT IS MUSCLE CONTRACTIONS?
FEATURES A COMBINATION OF DIFFERENT ELECTRICAL UNITS IN ONE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT.
WHAT IS A MULTI-FUNCTION MACHINE?
BACTERIA THAT CAUSES SKIN INFECTIONS CAN BE KILLED WITH THIS.
WHAT IS ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT?
THE LIGHT THAT CREATES THE CLOSEST SUBSTITUTE FOR NATURAL SUNLIGHT.
WHAT IS INCANDESCENT LIGHT?
THE ONLY CONSTANT DIRECT CURRENT OF LOW VOLTAGE AND HIGH AMPERAGE THAT PRODUCES AN ELECTROCHEMICAL EFFECT.
WHAT IS GALVANIC CURRENT?
TYPE OF PHORESIS THAT ALLOWS AN ALKALINE SOLUTION TO ENTER THE SKIN.
WHAT IS ANAPHORESIS?
THE GAS THAT EMITS A PURPLE COLOR INSIDE THE ELECTRODE.
WHAT IS ARGON?
THE TREATMENT THAT THE ESTHETICIAN PLACES BOTH ELECTRODES ON THE CLIENT'S SKIN MAKING SURE THEY NEVER TOUCH.
WHAT IS DIRECT FARADIC METHOD?
PRODUCES WARM, MOIST HEAT AT A COMFORTABLE TEMPERATURE AND IS USED TO HELP SOFTEN THE SKIN TO AID IN DEEP PRODUCT PENETRATION.
WHAT IS AN ELECTRIC MASK?
A COMBINATION LIGHT THAT CAN BE BROKEN INTO ITS INDIVIDUAL WAVELENGTHS BY A PRISM.
WHAT IS WHITE LIGHT?
A FORM OF THERMAL ENERGY IN WHICH THE TRANSFER OF HEAT IS VIA LIQUID OR GAS.
WHAT IS CONVECTION?
ACT AS NEGATIVELY OR POSITIVELY CHARGED POLES THAT ATTRACT OR REPEL THE - OR + CHARGED PARTICLES IN THE TREATMENT SOLUTION.
WHAT ARE ELECTRODES?
TREATMENT IN WHICH DEEPER LAYERS OF THE EPIDERMIS ARE BUILT UP OR NOURISHED.
WHAT IS IONTOPHORESIS?
THIS METHOD MEANS THAT THE ESTHETICIAN HOLDS THE ELECTRODE AND APPLIES IT DIRECTLY TO THE CLIENT'S FACE.
WHAT IS DIRECT HIGH FREQUENCY?
ALTERNATING CURRENT THAT PRODUCES A MECHANICAL EFFECT, SIMILAR TO THE WAY FARADIC CURRENT PRODUCES MUSCLE CONTRACTIONS.
WHAT IS SINUSOIDAL CURRENT?
DRAWS OUT DIRT, IMPURITIES AND GREASE FROM THE SKIN, MAKING EXTRACTIONS EASIER.
WHAT IS A VACUUM?
UVB RAYS STIMULATE THIS PRODUCTION.
WHAT IS MELANIN?
THE TYPE OF ALTERNATING CURRENT THAT CAN BE ADJUSTED TO DIFFERENT VOLTAGES TO PRODUCE HEAT.
WHAT IS HIGH FREQUENCY?
THE NEGATIVE ELECTRODE.
WHAT IS CATHODE?
THE REACTION WHEN THE ELECTRODE HELD BY THE ESTHETICIAN IS IT IN THE POSITIVE MODE.
WHAT IS AN ACIDIC?
THIS GAS HAS A GERMICIDAL, HEALING AND DRYING EFFECT.
WHAT IS OZONE?
DISCOVERED THE PRINCIPLES BEHIND THE ELECTRIC MOTOR, TRANSFORMER AND GENERATOR.
WHO IS MICHAEL FARADAY?
ATOMIZER THAT ALLOWS VARIOUS HERBAL EXTRACTS TO BE APPLIED TO THE SKIN IN A VERY FINE MIST.
WHAT IS AN ELECTRIC PULVERIZER OR LUCAS SPRAYER?
THE LIGHT THAT NORMALLY PRODUCES "RED" TONES OR "WARM" CASTS AND IS PRODUCED BY THE ORDINARY LIGHT BULB.
WHAT IS INCANDESCENT LIGHT?
TWO KINDS OF LIGHT SHOULD BE USED IN THE SKIN CARE CENTER BECAUSE THEY PRODUCE BALANCED LIGHTING WHEN USED TOGETHER.
WHAT IS INCANDESCENT AND FLUORESCENT LIGHTING?
