Basic Devices
What is a high-frequency machine?
This machine uses a glass electrode to produce a germicidal effect and is often used to treat acne.
What is desincrustation?
This process uses galvanic current to break down sebum and soften follicles.
What is alternating current?
This type of current is used in high-frequency treatments.
What is a vacuum/suction machine?
This machine stimulates circulation and helps loosen comedones.
What is the Wood’s lamp?
This device shows conditions of the skin not visible to the naked eye using black light.
What is a galvanic machine?
This device uses direct current to either soften sebum or help products penetrate deeper into the skin.
What is negative?
This polarity is used in desincrustation.
What is neon?
High frequency produces this gas when using an orange electrode.
What is upward and outward?
The vacuum should always move in this direction.
What is a comedone extractor?
This tool may be used during extractions, but must be sanitized thoroughly.
What is a magnifying lamp?
This equipment provides magnification and light for skin analysis.
What is iontophoresis?
This galvanic process helps water-soluble products penetrate deeper into the skin.
What is argon?
This gas is emitted when using a violet electrode for acne.
What is couperose or sensitive skin?
Use of the vacuum machine should be avoided on this type of skin.
What is a disinfectant or UV sanitizer?
Tools should be cleaned and placed in this after use.
What is check for contraindications?

What are pacemakers or metal implants?
What is a mild warmth or tingling?
This sensation is usually felt by clients during a high-frequency treatment.
What is a glass ventouse?
This attachment is placed over the vacuum hose.
What is frequency?
The number of times an alternating current changes direction per second.
What is enhancing treatment results?
This is the primary benefit of using facial technology in a treatment.
This is a key effect of iontophoresis.
What is product penetration?
What is the germicidal effect?
This benefit of high-frequency treatments helps prevent breakouts.
What is moistened or hydrated?
The vacuum machine should be used on skin that is this.
What is electrical machine treatment?
Clients with epilepsy or high blood pressure should avoid this type of treatment.
