Study Notes
Chemical Peels
- Carbolic acid, also known as phenol, is a peeling chemical used exclusively by physicians.
- Deep peels are procedures that only physicians can administer and involve the use of phenol for treatment.
- The average cell turnover rate for individuals aged 50 and older ranges from 42 to 84 days, and this rate decreases with age, slowing down cell renewal factors.
Exfoliation and Skin Treatments
- Peels and chemical exfoliation improve various skin conditions, particularly acne.
- Light peels, such as enzyme peels, target the epidermis and are less intensive than deep peels.
- Maintaining a hydrolipidic balance is crucial during exfoliation to protect the skin.
Laser Treatments
- Specific laser treatments can stimulate collagen production, reduce spider veins, diminish hair growth, or act as skin peels.
- Red light absorbs yellow laser light effectively, allowing targeted effects on the skin.
- Lasers and intense pulsed light (IPL) devices are classified as Class IV medical devices, utilizing selective photothermolysis for treatment.
Light Therapy
- Blue LED light is effective in treating acne by reducing bacteria on the skin.
- Yellow LED light promotes lymphatic flow, while green light has calming effects, and red light is considered stimulating.
- Photodynamic therapy primarily treats actinic keratoses.
Body Treatments
- Balneotherapy involves body treatments using natural elements such as mud or seawater.
- Manual lymph drainage (MLD) uses gentle massage to alleviate congestion and enhance healing and metabolism.
- Cellulite, characterized by dimpling of the skin, can be treated with endermology, a technique combining massages with suction to break down adipose tissue.
Surgical Procedures
- Botox is a neuromuscular-blocking serum effective for reducing wrinkles.
- A rhytidectomy is a surgical facelift that tightens loose skin and muscles.
- Procedures such as mammoplasty (breast surgery) and rhinoplasty (nose surgery) are performed to enhance physical appearance or reconstruct disfigurements.
Non-invasive Techniques
- Microneedling induces collagen formation through targeted puncture wounds to the skin without removing tissue, while microcurrent therapy tones facial muscles and stimulates circulation.
- Dermabrasion is a mechanical exfoliation method that removes layers of tissue down to the dermis.
- Nonablative treatments do not remove tissue and are milder on the skin.
Key Terms
- Chromophore refers to color components in the skin that absorb laser energy.
- Cell Renewal Factor (CRF) denotes the rate of cell division and migration from the dermis to the epidermis.
- Ultrasonic treatments use sound frequencies to cleanse and exfoliate the skin, contraindicated in individuals with certain health conditions.
Holistic Practices
- Ayurvedic treatment is one of the oldest holistic healing systems, originating in India.
- Reiki is a practice aimed at restoring balance to the body, mind, and spirit through the transmission of universal life-force energy.
