IN ESTHETICS
100

A FORM OF ENERGY THAT PRODUCES LIGHT, HEAT, MAGNETIC AND CHEMICAL CHANGES

What is ELECTRICITY

100

A UNIT OF ELECTRIC STRENGTH

What is an AMP

100

ELECTRONS MOVE IN ONE DIRECTION, LIKE USING GALVANIC 

What is DIRECT CURRENT

100

Power source most often used in a salon, spa or barbershop; produces alternating current; uses mechanical energy to produce a flow of electrons

What is GENERATOR

100

The transfer of energy to give an object the energy to perform work (for example, brush machine, vacuum/spray machine and microdermabrasion).

What is Mechanical effect

200

THE MOVEMENT OF ELECTRICITY ALONG A PATH

What is ELECTRIC CURRENT

200
A UNIT OF ELECTRIC PRESSURE

What is a VOLT

200

ELECTRONS FLOW FIRST IN ONE DIRECTION THEN ANOTHER, USED IN HIGH FREQUENCY

What is ALTERNATING CURRENT

200

a reusable safety device that breaks the flow of current when an overload occurs

What is circuit breaker 

200

Increased sensitivity of the skin to light; can be caused by medication, disease and topical products.

What is Photosensitivity?

300

RATE OF CYCLING OR FREQUENCY

What is HERTZ

300

A UNIT OF ELECTRIC RESISTANCE

What is an OHM

300

WHEN TOO MANY APPLIANCES ARE ON A CIRCUIT AND BEING OPERATED AT SAME TIME, CAN CAUSE FIRE

What is OVERLOAD

300

A type of low-level electrical current used to stimulate muscles to tone and firm the skin.

What is microcurrent

300

Electric current traveling through a water-based solution to produce relaxing or stimulating effects.

What is electrochemical effect

400

MATERIAL THAT ALLOWS ELECTRICITY TO FLOW THROUGH IT EASILY

What is CONDUCTOR

400

A MEASURE OF HOW MUCH POWER IS BEING USED PER SECOND

What is a WATT

400

A FOREIGN CONDUCTOR COMES IN CONTACT WITH A WIRE CARRYING CURRENT TO THE LOAD (LIKE WHEN YOUR FINGER GETS BETWEEN WALL SOCKET + PLUG AND SHOCKS YOU)

What is SHORT CIRCUIT

400

Type of device that produces multiple effects (for example, ultrasonic device and multifunction machine).

What is combination effect?

400

Short pulse of light and heat break up target molecules.

What is Photomechanical 

500

A MATERIAL THAT DOES NOT ALLOW THE FLOW OF ELECTRIC CURRENT

What is an INSULATOR

500

1,000 WATTS

What is a KILLOWAT

500

A SAFETY DEVICE WITH A FINE METAL WIRE THAT ALLOWS CURRENT TO FLOW

What is a FUSE

500

Thermal breakdown of the skin; evident when a blister forms on burned skin.

What is Pyrolysis

500

Reaction with light and molecules in the body that cause a chemical change or cellular stimulation (for example, formation of vitamin D within the skin).

What is Photochemical
