_______ is the negative pole or positive pole of an electric current. The positive electrode is called ______ and the negative electrode is called ________.
Polarity, anode, cathode
Substances that speed up chemical reactions.
catalyst
Light amplification stimulation emission of radiation
Device that uses electromagnetic radiation for hair removal and skin treatment.
Laser
Rapid and interrupted current, flowing first in one direction and then in the opposite direction; produced by mechanical means and changes directions 60 times per second.
Alternating Current (AC)
Unit that measures the pressure or force that pushes electric current forward through a conductor.
Volt or Voltage (V)
Also known as violet ray; thermal or heat-producing current with a high rate of oscillation or vibration that is commonly used for scalp and facial treatments.
Tesla high-frequency current
UVA, UVB, UVC
Ultra violet A- longest wavelength and penetrates directly into the dermis of the skin. *AGING RAYS
Ultra violet B- associated with sunburns. *BURNING RAYS
Ultra violet C- blocked by the ozone layer
A medical device that has uses multiple colors and wavelengths of focused light into spider veins, hyperpigmentation, rosacea and redness, wrinkles, enlarged hair follicles and pores, and excessive hair.
Intense Pulse Light (IPL)
The path of the negative and positive electric currents moving from the generating source through the conductors and back to the generating source.
A complete electric circuit.
Prevents excessive current from passing through a circuit.
Fuse
-Improves blood and lymph circulation
-Reduces redness and inflammation
-Minimizes healing time for acne lesions
Microcurrent
_______ is the distance between successive peaks of electromagnetic waves.
______is the measurement of the distance between two wavelengths.
wavelength, waveform
A medical device used to reduce acne, increase skin circulation, and improve the collagen content in the skin.
Light-Emitting Diode (LED)
A rectifier is an apparatus that changes _____ current to ______current.
Alternating Current (AC) to Direct Current (DC)
Completes an electric circuit and carries the current safely away.
Grounding
_______ is the process of infusing water-soluble products into skin with the use of electric current, such as the use of positive and negative poles of a galvanic machine.
________a form of anaphoresis; process still used to soften and emulsify grease deposits (oil) and blackheads in the hair follicles.
________is the process of infusing an alkaline (negative) product into the tissues from the negative pole toward the positive pole.
_______ is the process of fusing an acidic (positive) product into deeper tissues using galvanic current from the positive pole toward the negative pole.
Iontophoresis, desincrustation, anaphoresis, cataphoresis
