Study Notes
Exfoliation and Skin Treatments
- Exfoliation involves the removal of dead skin cells from the corneum layers of the epidermis, and includes processes like superficial peeling, keratolysis, and desquamation.
- Mechanical exfoliation is exemplified by microdermabrasion, while manual exfoliation involves scrubs.
- Chemical exfoliation uses agents such as enzymes, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs).
pH Levels
- Acids have a pH range of 0-6, with 7 indicating neutrality. Alkalines range from 8-14.
- The average pH of skin lies between 4.5-5.0, and an exfoliating acid must have a lower pH than this for effectiveness.
Chemical Peels
- TCA Peel is a medium-depth peel that affects both epidermis and dermis layers.
- Deep peels, administered only by physicians, utilize strong chemicals and aim to remove epidermal layers down to the dermis.
- Peeling agents include carbolic acid, a strong chemical peel used only by practitioners.
Skin Health and Treatments
- Cell renewal factor represents the rate at which skin cells undergo mitosis and migrate to the epidermis' surface.
- As individuals age, the cell renewal factor and skin metabolism decrease, affecting overall skin health.
- Microdermabrasion stimulates cell metabolism and blood flow while helping to rejuvenate skin.
LED and Light Therapy
- Specific colors of LED lights have unique benefits: Blue light treats acne, Yellow enhances lymphatic flow, and Green has a calming effect.
- LED treatments typically last around 15 minutes in facials and are classified as nonthermal medical devices.
Contraindications and Precautions
- Precautions before chemical exfoliation include avoiding sun exposure, scrubs, and certain chemicals like glycolic acid.
- Patients with conditions like rosacea or epilepsy should refrain from procedures such as microdermabrasion and microcurrent treatment.
Body and Facial Treatments
- Detoxifying body masks employ ingredients such as clay and seaweed to remineralize and detoxify the body.
- Reflexology applies pressure to the feet and hands to correspond with various body areas.
- Treatments like Endermology focus on reducing cellulite through vacuum massage techniques.
Aging and Cellular Health
- Factors such as female hormones and genetics contribute to cellulite development.
- As we age, the risk of hypopigmentation or hyperpigmentation increases, especially when treatments like microdermabrasion are improperly used.
Surgical and Non-Surgical Procedures
- Procedures like blepharoplasty correct sagging eyelids, impacting vision.
- Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) surgeries aim to tighten and remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen.
Ingredient and Treatment Synergy
- Ingredients beneficial for dry skin in peels include ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and phospholipids.
- Preoperative care aims to enhance skin metabolism and prepares clients for advanced treatments.
Ayurveda and Holistic Concepts
- Ayurveda recognizes three doshas: Pitta, Kapha, and Vata, contributing to overall health and skin wellness.
- Balnio therapy uses mud and fango for therapeutic benefits in skin treatments.
Effective Treatment Practices
- Successful microdermabrasion relies on the proper use of the device's handpiece, crystal flow rate, and vacuum setting accuracy.
- Maintaining a hydrolipidic balance is essential during exfoliation to protect skin health.
