Study Notes
Desquamation and Exfoliation
- Stratum corneum is replaced by new cells, a process called cell turnover.
- Exfoliation increases cell turnover, blood flow, and circulation.
Beneficial Mask Ingredients
- Vitamins A, C, and E
- Hyaluronic acid
- Seaweed
- Calcium
- Diatomaceous earth
- Bentonite
- Kaolin
- Glycerin
- Zinc oxide
Types of Masks
- Wax masks
- Setting/modeling masks
Desincrustation
- Applied to the face for 10-15 minutes.
- Effective for oily skin, but not for acne.
- Uses galvanic current.
High Frequency Treatments
- No polarity, doesn't use chemical changes.
- Makes product penetration physically impossible.
- Enhances cell metabolism.
High Frequency Contraindications
- Heart problems
- Braces
- Body piercings (from the waist up)
Indirect High Frequency Technique
- Regenerates skin
- Increases blood flow
- Improves firmness and tone
- Beneficial for dry skin
Facial Massage Contraindications
- Severe, uncontrolled hypertension
- Uncontrolled diabetes
Massage Techniques
- Acupressure
- Shiatsu
- Pressure point massage
- Aromatherapy
- Manual lymph drainage
Ultrasound Technology
- Uses frequencies above the range of human hearing.
- Uses metal spatula-like tools for oscillations.
Ultrasound Contraindications
- Heart conditions
- Pacemakers/electrical implants
- Advanced diabetes
- Cancerous lesions
Definitions

- Stratum lucidum: Translucent epidermal layer.
- Stratum granulosum: Layer of epidermal cells.
- Stratum spinosum: Epidermal layer also known as prickle cell layer.
- Stratum germinativum: Basement membrane separates this from dermis.
- Sun Damage: Photoaging, skin cancer risk.
- Seborrhea: Chronic skin condition affecting oil-producing glands.
- Wrinkles/Aging: Thinner, drier, and less elastic skin.
