Study Notes
Disinfectants and Skeletal System
- Disinfectants in salons and medical facilities must be bactericidal, virucidal, and fungicidal.
- The skeletal system does not facilitate the contraction and movement of body parts.
Muscle Types and Anatomy
- Nonstriated muscles function automatically, commonly found in the digestive system.
- Insertion refers to the moveable attachment of a muscle, located farthest from the skeleton.
- The sternocleidomastoid muscle extends from the ear to the collarbone.
Nervous System and Blood Characteristics
- The largest cranial nerve is the fifth cranial nerve.
- The cervical nerve affects the side of the neck and the platysma muscle.
- Blood in nearly all veins is dark red; the frontal artery supplies blood to the forehead and upper eyelids.
Endocrine Functions and Chemical Matter
- The pancreas controls the production of insulin and glucagon.
- Organic substances include those like plastic, while the simplest form of chemical matter is an element.
pH Scale and Ionization
- The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with ionization producing two new ions with opposite electrical charges.
- A properly stored emulsion remains stable for three years, with moisturizing cream being an example of oil-in-water emulsion.
Electric Current and Light Characteristics
- Devices using alternating current (AC) include magnifying lamps; cathodes are typically indicated by the color black.
- Anaphoresis stimulates and irritates nerves, while short wavelengths penetrate less.
- White light is the combination of all visible rays of the spectrum; green LED reduces hyperpigmentation, red LED improves elastin production.
Nutritional Science
- There are 20 amino acids and dietary fiber can be categorized as soluble and insoluble.
- One gram of protein contains four calories; inositol aids in hair growth.
- Symptoms of vitamin E deficiency do not include rickets; good sources of copper include almonds and seafood.
- Potassium is important for fluid balance and heart muscle control; precursors are substances that convert to vitamins in the body.
Skin Health and Beauty Treatments
- Facial treatments provide superficial cleansing; deep cleansing cannot be omitted during a mini facial.
- A mask should be applied for 10 minutes during a mini facial; facial massages typically last 10-15 minutes.
- For hair removal, shaving is the main method of depilation; a small patch test should be done before waxing treatments.
Waxing and Dermal Treatments
- A tongue depressor is used to spread wax, with a strip size of 1-1/2" x 5" suggested for underarm areas.
- The shortest hair length for waxing should be at least 1/2 inch; American waxing removes hair outside the normal bikini line.
- Typically, body waxing procedures take 30-60 minutes; the average cell turnover for individuals 50 or older is 42-84 days.
Aesthetic Devices and Procedures
- Medical devices such as lasers and IPL machines belong to class IV.
- Infrared LED light is employed for rejuvenation, while epilepsy is a contraindication for microcurrent treatment.
- Preoperative care includes calming patients, a pertinent role of estheticians.
Skin Reactions and Cleaning Protocols
- The ideal oval face is about half as wide as it is long; airbrush makeup is not commonly used for restorative purposes.
Post-Service Protocol
- After cleaning tools, brushes should be covered with towels while drying; disposable gloves should be sealed in plastic bags and disposed of properly.
