Study Notes
Ultrasonic Treatments
- Contraindications include heart conditions, pacemakers, pregnancy, and diabetes.
- Utilized for gentle hydrating and exfoliating treatments, especially before surgical procedures.
- Operates by producing sound waves that create skin changes.
- Three-step treatment process involves Cavitation, Sonophoresis, and Microcurrent.
Cavitation, Sonophoresis, and Microcurrent
- Cavitation: Involves cleaning steps causing water molecule implosion.
- Sonophoresis: Aids in serum and moisturizer penetration.
- Microcurrent: Promotes homeostasis, firms skin, stimulates ATP and blood circulation, and aids in lymphatic flow.
Microdermabrasion
- Contraindications include rosacea, infections, open lesions, dermatitis, active acne, recent Accutane use, and immediate post-operative situations.
- Two forms: crystal or diamond; uses spray and vacuum mechanisms.
- Crystal machines typically utilize aluminum oxide, salt, and baking soda.
- Treatment intensity can vary based on crystal strength, hand-piece speed, and treatment duration.
- Aggressive treatment may lead to pinpoint bleeding; settings should always be documented after service.
- Can remove up to 25% of the stratum corneum.
Chemical Peels
- Contraindications include use of retinoids, herpes simplex, open lesions, pregnancy, heart conditions, eczema, lupus, rosacea, psoriasis, infections, and extremely sensitive skin.
- Typical acid concentrations in salons range from 15-30%.
- Medical peels feature higher percentages with lower pH.
- Estheticians should avoid using phenol-based peels.
Laser Treatments
- Contraindications include photosensitivity, Accutane use, suspicious lesions, current tanning, and specific health conditions.
- Laser energy can be magnified by 100,000 times by the lens of the eye.
- Ablative lasers remove part or all of the epidermis.
- Cooling methods include cryogen spray, forced air cooling, and chilled tips.
- Lasers should never be used under the eyebrow.
Light Therapy and LED Treatments
- Various processes: Photothermal creates heat to target cells; Photomechanical involves short pulses to explode targets; Photomodulation activates cellular metabolism.
- LED colors serve different functions: Green reduces hyperpigmentation; Yellow alleviates edema; Red stimulates healing; Blue combats bacteria and rosacea.
Microcurrent Therapy
- Contraindications encompass open wounds, cancer, heart conditions, and pregnancy.
- Measured in microamperes and mimics the body’s natural rhythms.
- Effective for reducing lines in specific facial muscles like the corrugator and frontalis.
Body Treatments
- Contraindications include pregnancy, open wounds, varicose veins, and various health issues.
- Linens and plastic wraps are used for ingredient infusion; seaweed/algae stimulate circulation and detoxification.
- Hydrotherapy employs water-based treatments like Vichy showers and Scotch hoses to enhance body care.
Electrodessication
- Used for treating skin tags, milia, and cherry angiomas with low-level radio frequency to create heat.
- Contraindications include suspicious lesions and various health conditions.
Eyelash Extensions
- Contraindications involve pregnancy, eye conditions, and hormonal disorders affecting hair growth.
- Ideal application occurs during the catagen growth cycle.
Skin Conditions and Disorders
- Tinea Versicolor: Pigmentation disorder resembling sun spots.
- Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation: Follows wound healing.
- Melasma: A "mask" of pigmentation caused by hormonal imbalance.
- Actinic Keratosis: Pink or flesh-colored precancerous growth from sun exposure.
- Rosacea: Characterized by redness and heat sensations, possibly caused by Demodex or yeast.
Aromatherapy and Phytotherapy
- Aromatherapy involves the therapeutic use of scents.
- Phytotherapy uses plants for therapeutic benefits.
- Citrus oils can induce photosensitivity in the skin.
