electricity
The flow of electricity along a conductor in a complete circuit
electric current
The unit that measures the pressure or force that pushes the flow of electrons forward
volt/voltage
an applicator for directing the electric current from the device to the client's skin
probe/electrode
a form of energy that travels through space in waves and has both electric and magnetic properties
electromagnetic spectrum
does not conduct electricity
non conductor/ insulator
The path of negative and positive electric currents moving from the generating source through the conductors and back to the generating original source or to the ground is called a ___
complete electric circuit
a measurement of how much electricity is being used in 1 second
watt
Extremely low level of electricity that mirrors the body's own natural electical impulses.
Microcurrent
AKA violet ray, is a thermal or heat producing current with a high rate of oscillation or vibration
Tesla-high frequency current
emits light from a device used to reduce acne, increase circulation, and improve collagen content in the skin
LED (light emitting diode)
any material that easily conducts electricity, meaning electricity will pass through the material. For example copper
conductor
the unit that measures the amount of an electric current
ampere/ amp
A constant and direct current that has a positive and negative pole. Produces chemical changes when it passes through tissues and fluids of the body
Galvanic current
Visible red light that produces heat
infrared light
Often called the burning ray because it's most associated with sunburns
UVB rays
There are 3 types of electromagnetic energy. They are:
visible light, infrared light, and invisible ultraviolet radiation
1,000 watts is known as:
killowatt
The process of introducing water-soluble products into the skin with the use of electric current
ionization/iontophoresis
The distance between 2 successive peaks
wavelength
The process of infusing a negative (alkaline) product into the skin
anaphoresis
apparatus that changes alternating current to direct current
rectifier
a unit that measures the resistance of an electric current
ohm
a form of anaphorsis and a process used to soften and emulsify oil and blackheads in the hair follicules
Deincrustation
medical device that uses multiple colors and wavelengths of focused light to treat spider veins, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, wrinkles, enlarged pores, and excessive hair
intense pulse light
refers to infusing a positive (acid) product into the skin with the use of electric current and anophoresis
