Theory
The movement of electrons from one atom to another along a conductor
Electricity
Volt measures
force or pressure
Prevents excessive current from passing through a circuit
Fuse
The use of electrical currents to treat the skin
Electrotherapy
The part of the electromagnetic spectrum that can be seen
Visible light
The flow of electricity along a conductor
Electric current
Ampere measures
Strength
A switch that automatically interrupts/shuts off an electric circuit at the first indication of an overload
Circuit breaker
Anode
Light that cannot be perceived by the naked eye
Invisible light (Ultraviolet and Infrared)
Any material that conducts electricity such as: Copper and Water
Conductor
Ohm measures
resistance
Completes an electric circuit and carries the current safely away
Grounding
Infuses an acidic (positive) product into deeper tissues.
Cataphoresis
LASER stands for
Light Amplification Stimulation Emission of Radiation
A material that does not transmit electricity such as: rubber, silk, wood, glass, and cement
Nonconductor/Insulator
Watt measures
how much
Certifies the safety of electrical appliances
UL and CE
Infuses an alkaline (negative) product into the tissues from the negative pole to the positive pole. Desincrustation is a form of this.
Anaphoresis
LED stands for
Light Emitting Diode
A constant, even-flowing current that travels in one direction only and is produced by chemical means
Direct Current (DC)
A rapid and interrupted current, flowing first in one direction and then in the opposite direction. Produced by mechanical means.
Alternating Current (AC)
Designed to protect from electrical shock by interrupting a household circuit when there is a leak within the circuit
Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI)
Mimics nerve impulses to excise muscles
Microcurrent
The application of light rays to the skin for the treatment of wrinkles, capillaries, pigmentation, or hair removal.
