Friction is
created from rubbing your hands together creating a thermal or heating effect
The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to humans
Visible light
The wavelengths that produce the longest waves on the visible spectrum
Red
The steamer does the following
Moist heat increases desquamation, activates enzymes used for exfoliation, loosens trapped debris, increases vasodilation of capillaries, transferred by convection
Purpose of UV light
sterilization
Pyroliysis is
Thermal breakdown of the skin
The type of light would a salon owner use to balance the tones of light indoors
Incandescent
This type of light can create blue or cool tones
Flourecent
The purpose of the Lucas Spray Pulverizer is to
increases hydration by delivering herbal ingredients and moist heat, increases vasodilation of capillaries, transferred by convection.
Sinusoidal is
alternating current with sine waveforms and low frequency
Microcirculation is
the flow of blood through the smallest blood vessels
Does NOT contribute to UV exposure
Body mass
Refers to the length of time that current is flowing
Pulse
A rotating brush does the following
Loosens trapped debris, exfoliates the skin, increases vasodilation of capillaries, energy drives brush head
Who is the best Teacher?
Mrs.Clark!
Vasodilation? is
The widening of blood vessels.
The type of light can be broken down into its individual wavelengths by a prism
White
Define "electrotherapy"
the use of electricity for therapeutic purposes
A microcurrent device does the following
tissue tightening, stimulation of microcirculation and muscle motor points, enhances product absorption, soothes nerve endings, DC(modified) delivered with the electrodes, movements performed with electrodes help determine results.
The shorter the wavelength the more....?
energy the wave is carrying
The 3 types of Thermal energy and what they do
Conduction: the transfer of heat via direct contact
Convection: the transfer of heat via liquid or gas
Radiation: the transfer of heat through a vacuum (empty space)
Galvanic, faradic and pulsed DC fall under this type of current
Direct
The two types of currents used in Electrotherapy
Direct current and alternating current
Some of the effects of a Galvanic Device
Soothing, deep cleansing, stimulation of microcirculation, tissue tightening, enhance product absorption, reduction of erythema
The amount of time in direct sunlight needed to produce Vitamin D
