Question 1: Electrochemical EFfect
Answer:
created when an electric current travels through a water-based solution and onto the body. Utilized during Galvanic treatments.
Question 2: Electrons
Answer:
tiny, negatively charged particles which make up electric current.
Question 3: Electricity
Answer:
a form of energy which produces light, heat, and magnetic and chemical changes.
Question 4: Anode
Answer:
a positively charged electrode; usually red in color and displayed a large "P" or a positive sign (+).
Question 5: Prism
Answer:
a three-sided glass object which can split wavelengths from visible light into their individual colors.
Question 6: Battery
Answer:
a device which converts electrochemical energy into electrical energy when a load is switched on.Electrons collect on the negative terminal and travel towards the positive one, through the chemical medium, and into the equipment.
Question 7: Open Circuit
Answer:
when a closed path is broken. Stops the flow of electricity to a load.
Question 8: Direct High Frequency
Answer:
a High Frequency treatment that involves the esthetician placing the electrode on or a short distance away from the client's face. This produces an ozone gas that has germicidal effects while also eliminating excess sebum. 5 minutes.
Question 9: Radiation
Answer:
the transfer of heat energy through empty air space.
Question 10: Argon
Answer:
a gas which produces a rich purple color during High Frequency treatments. Used on acne-type lesions.
Question 11: Ohm
Answer:
a unit of electric resistance.
Question 12: Neon
Answer:
a gas which produces a bright orange color during High Frequency treatments. Used on normal to oily skin to create warmth in a localized area for improved product penetration or to increase circulation.
Question 13: Cataphoresis
Answer:
a type of phoresis which allows an acidic solution to enter the skin when assisted by Galvanic Current and the positive pole of an electrode.
Question 14: Direct Faradic
Answer:
a method of application for Faradic Current in which both electrodes are placed on the client's skin without ever touching. Stimulates motor nerves.
Question 15: Watt
Answer:
a measure of electrical energy being used.
Question 16: Underwriter's Laboratory
Answer:
UL rating; means the appliance has been certified to operate safely under specified conditions.
Question 17: Overload
Answer:
describes when a line carries more amps than it is designed to carry. Without fail-safes, lines can burn and catch fire.
Question 18: Lucas Spray
Answer:
the electric pulverizer spray; invented by Dr. Lucas Championniere. A unique atomizer that allows for the application of herbs, extracts, or astringents to be applied in a very fine mist. Refreshes, soothes, and tones the skin.
Question 19: Rectifier
Answer:
an instrument which changes Alternating Current to Direct Current.
Question 20: UVC
Answer:
UV rays that are beyond the ozone layer and have little effect on exposure which the skin receives. The shortest in length of UV rays. 200nm to 280 nm.
Question 21: Cathode
Answer:
a negatively charged electrode; usually black in color or displays a large "N" or negative sign (-).
Question 22: Electromagnetic Spectrum
Answer:
the range of wavelengths that can be produced by radiant energy.
Question 23: Amp Rating
Answer:
indicates the number of electrons flowing through a particular line.
Question 24: Magnifying Lamp
Answer:
a loupe; a device which provides light and magnification. Allows esthetician to examine the surface of the skin more closely.
Question 25: Electrotherapy
Answer:
the application of electrical energy during skin treatments.
Question 26: Paraffin Heating Unit
Answer:
electric containers that melt blocks of paraffin wax for use in face, hand, foot, and body treatments.Paraffin is both moisturizing and relaxing; effective treatment for dry skin. Increases rate of product penetration and warms skin.
Question 27: Fuse
Answer:
a safety device that prevents electrical wires from overheating. Contains fine wire which melts when too much current is present.
