Electrotherapy

application of special currents that have a certain effect on the skin.

Electrode

used to bring current fromj appliances to the client' skin

Galvanic

direct current of low voltage & high amp. oldest form of electrotherapy in salon, has chemical effects & requires a special appliance necessary to convert.

Phoresis

also known as skin bleaching; forcing an acid or alkali into the skin

Anaphoresis

force negatively charged alkaline solutions into the skin without breaking it

Cataphoresis

force positively charged acidic solutions into skin w/o breaking skin

Galvanic Current Electrotherapy

salon professional applies active eletrode to the client depending on therapeutic reaction desired

Iontophoresis

introduces water soluable treatment into skin

Faradic

produces a mechanical, non-chemical reaction that stimulates nerve & muscle tissue.

Sinusoidal

produce muscle contractions

Tesla

High frequency alternating current

Circuit

Flow of electrons along a path called a conductor

Fuse

device that contains a fine metal wire that allows current to flow

General Shock

passes through the nervous system

Generator

power source most often used in a salon; produces alternating current; uses mechanical energy to produce a flow of electrons

Local Shock

shock to a specific area of the body

Circuit Breaker

Reusable device that breaks the flow of current when an overload occurs

Heat Energy

the more resistance the more friction & the result is increased heat

Light Therapy

is the production of beneficial effects such as reducing acne through treatments using light rays or waves

Visible Light

the portion of the elctromagnetic spectrum humans can see

White Light

combination light `

Flourescent Light

blue or cool tones

Incadescent Lights

warm tone, closest to natural sunlight

Invisible Light

used to produce physical effects on the skin

Infrared Light

80% of sunlight is composed of invisible rays beyond red

Ultraviolet Rays

also known as actinic rays, have a shorter wave length and can be more damaging than infrared rays

Direct Method

used less than Faradic , the current travels through the motor nerves between the two electrodes, causing muscle stimulation

Indirect Method

facial massage given once current reaches desired level
