electrical basics
Material that allows electricity to pass through it
conductor
the only constant direct current used in esthetics
galvanic current
the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum humans can see
visible light
high frequency current is also known as
tesla/ high frequency
liquefying sebum using saponification
desincrustation
material that does NOT allow electricity to pass through it
insulator
changes AC to DC
rectifier
"the burning rays"
UV rays
produces ozone when oxygen hits the electorde
sparking
allows acidic solution into the skin with positive pole
cataphoresis
the flow of electricity through a conductor
current
this current has a passive form of exercise
faradic current
the longest UV ray, destroys collagen & elastin
UVA
the client holds the electrode during this HF method
indirect high frequency
positively charged electrode
anode
a safety device that prevents wires from overheating
fuse
electrons move at an even rate in one direction
dircet current (DC)
creates the closest substitute for natural sunlight
infrared light
electrode should be this far from the skin during sparking
1/4 inch
negatively charged electrode
cathode
a device that breaks the current when an overload occurs
sinusoidal current
uses AC with a mechanical effect,deeper than faradic
sinusoidal current
light therapy used to produce benefical effects on the body
phototherapy/ light therapy
the thermal breakdown of skin caused by intense heat
pyrolysis
machine that acts like a mini vacuum cleaner to deep clean pores
suction machine
