Which of the following distinguishes desquamation from exfoliation in skincare?
- Desquamation is the natural process of cell turnover in the stratum corneum, while exfoliation accelerates this process. (correct)
- Desquamation involves manual removal of dead skin cells, while exfoliation is a natural shedding process.
- Desquamation increases blood flow, whereas exfoliation increases cell turnover.
- Desquamation is exclusive to professional treatments, whereas exfoliation is part of a daily skincare routine.

Study Notes
Desquamation and Exfoliation
- Stratum corneum is replaced by new cells from lower layers, a process called cell turnover.
- Exfoliation increases cell turnover and blood flow.
Beneficial Mask Ingredients
- Vitamin A, C, and E
- Hyaluronic acid
- Seaweed
- Calcium
- Diatomaceous earth
- Bentonite
- Kaolin
- Glycerin
- Zinc oxide
Mask Types
- Wax masks
- Setting/modeling masks
Desincrustation
- Applied to the face for 10-15 minutes.
- Galvanic current is used (for oily skin, not acne).
High Frequency Treatments
- No polarity is used, and chemical changes are not produced.
- Product penetration is physically prevented.
- Increases cell metabolism
High Frequency Contraindications
- Heart problems
- Braces
- Body piercings (from the waist up)
Indirect High Frequency Technique
- Stimulates skin regeneration.
- Increases blood flow.
- Improves skin firmness/tone; good 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 human hearing range.
- Metal tool (spatula-like) is used to produce mechanical oscillations.
Ultrasound Contraindications
- Heart conditions
- Pacemakers/electrical implants
- Advanced diabetes
- Cancerous lesions
Adipose Tissue
- A connective tissue that interacts with the endocrine system.
Keratinocytes
- The main type of cell in the epidermis.
Merkel Cells
- Specialized cells found just below the epidermis.
Stratum Lucidum
- A smooth, translucent layer in the epidermis.
Stratum Granulosum
- A layer of epidermal cells.
Stratum Spinosum
- Also called the prickle cell layer.
Stratum Germinativum
- Separated from the dermis by a basement membrane.
- Attached to the membrane via hemidesmosomes.
Sun Damage
- Premature aging of the skin caused by sun exposure (photoaging).
- Can lead to skin cancer.
Seborrhea
- A chronic skin condition affecting oil gland-rich regions of the body.
Wrinkles/Aging
- Skin loses elasticity, becomes drier, and thinner.
Poor Elasticity
- Skin is saggy, crinkled, or leathery.
Cysts
- Closed sac-like structures that can appear anywhere on the body.
