Laser
Thermal relaxation time is the time it takes for ____ percent of heat energy to dissipate from the target tissue.
50%
mottled redness or brown discoloration appearing most commonly in women on the sides of the neck or the upper chest. It is noncancerous sun damage
Poikiloderma of Civatte
a microorganism or substance capable of producing disease
pathogen
parallel rays of light that travel spatially and temporally in phase with each other
coherent light
What are the benefits of leasing?
The Lease is Tax deductible
Less complicated than financing
The approval time is quicker
a series of laser or IPL facial treatments conducted to improve vascular and pigmented lesions and induce collagen stimulation
photorejuvenation
sterility; a condition free from germs and any form of life
asepsis
the diameter of the optical or laser light beam
spot size
the timing of light energy, or how long the laser beam is actually striking the skin
Pulse width
singed hair
splattering
a federal agency that establishes guidelines and makes recommendations for ensuring public health
Center of Disease Control
energy, in joules per square centimeter (J/cm2)
fluence
body dysmorphic disorder (BDD)
a psychosocial disease that causes individuals to be inappropriately concerned, obsessed, or fixated with their appearance
a measure of heat stored in a chromophore
thermal storage
a disease in which the body produces a defective immunological response against itself. Normally the body's immune mechanisms can distinguish between normal and foreign substances. In autoimmune diseases, the immune system produces antibodies against normal parts of the body to such an extent as to cause tissue injury
autoimmune
LED technology that uses energy-producing packets of light to enhance fibroblast collagen synthesis
photomodulation
the scatter or spread of light within the skin tissue
dermal scattering
communicable; transmitted readily from one person to another either directly or indirectly; refers to organisms that cause disease
contagious
abbreviated SP; precautions such as wearing personal protective equipment to protect skin and mucous membrane where contact with a client's blood, body fluids, secretions (except sweat), excretions, nonintact skin, and mucous membranes is likely. Workers must assume that all blood and body fluids are potential sources of infection, regardless of the perceived risk
Standard Precautions
treatment using an appropriate wavelength, exposure time, and pulse duration with sufficient energy fluence to absorb light into a specific area; it allows damage to targeted tissue without involving the surrounding area
selective photo thermolysis
