Milady Esthetics Ch. 6 "Electricity"

Definitions

100

I flow along a conductor

Electric Current

200

Constant even flowing current that travels in one direction only and produced by chemical means

Direct Current

300

A phone charger is an example of this type of apparatus because it changes direct to alternating current

Inverter

400

Cordless clippers are an example of this because it is being changed from alternating to direct current.

Rectifier

500

Electricity passes thru me easily and copper is an example, however distilled water is very poor at this.

Conductor

600

I am so rapid and interrupted, I flow in one direction then the other and I'm produced by mechanical means...

Alternating Current

Safety

100

I prevent excessive current from passing thru a circuit, I blow out or melt when I get too hot with overloaded current

Fuse

200

I certify that electrical devices are safe when used according to the manufactures directions and my symbol is easily recognizable.

Underwriters Laboratories UL

300

I interrupt and shut off circuits if there is an indication of an overload

Circuit Breaker

400

I am a particular device that usually resides in your wall near water sources, I have a reset as well as a test button and trip to prevent a shock hazard

GFI - Ground Fault Interrupter

500

I usually hang around on walls and everyone should be familiar with how to use me in case of an emergency. You also have to check my tag for current inspection.

Fire Extinguisher 

600

I complete the circuit and carry the current safely away, I am sometimes the third guy on the plug guaranteeing a safe path for electricity

Grounding or grounding pin

Modalities

100

I am good at pushing in products using galvanic current from the positive pole, effectively closing pores 

Cataphoresis

200

I direct the current from the device to the client's skin

Electrode

300

Water soluble products infused into the skin with the use of electrical current

Iontophoresis

400

I mirror the body's natural electrical impulses... I firm, tone and soothe skin along with many other benefits and I do it with an extremely low level of electricity

Microcurrent

500

I am also know as the Violet Ray, I am thermal or heat producing and vibrate at a high rate

Tesla high-frequency current

600

These are conditions that would not allow me to get a particular treatment such as pregnancy, pacemakers, high blood pressure, etc...

Contraindications

Light Energy

100

I am the distance between peaks

Wavelength

200

This is the percentage of natural sunlight that is visible

35%

300

I am know as the burning light and associate with sun burns

UVB Ultraviolet B

400

I am invisible and have a short wavelength

Ultraviolet light

500

I have long wavelengths and penetrate more deeply but have less energy

Infrared Light

600

I am also know as phototherapy and I am selected based on the client's skin type

Light Therapy

Measurements

100

I measure the strength of an electrical current

Ampere

200

Resistance is my job of measurement

ohm

300

I prevent excessive current from passing thru

Fuse

400

I am all about how much energy and I'm measured in a second

Watt

500

I measure pressure or force that pushes the current through the conductor

Volt

600

I am too strong for the face or scalp and would damage the skin
