Study Notes
Ultrasonic Treatments
- Contraindications include heart conditions, pacemakers, pregnancy, and diabetes.
- Used for gentle hydration and exfoliation, especially in pre-surgical treatments.
- Creates skin changes through sound waves.
- Three-step treatment process: Cavitation, Sonophoresis, and Microcurrent.
- Cavitation involves cleaning steps leading to water molecule implosion.
- Sonophoresis helps penetrate serums and moisturizers into the skin.
- Microcurrent promotes skin firming, ionization, and stimulates ATP, blood circulation, and lymph flow.
Microdermabrasion
- Contraindications include rosacea, infections, open lesions, active acne, and prior Accutane use within a year.
- Machines may use crystal or diamond methods, typically combining spray and vacuum functions.
- Crystal machines utilize Aluminum Oxide (corundum), salt, or baking soda.
- Treatment aggressiveness varies by crystal strength, hand-piece speed, and number of passes.
- Overly aggressive treatment can lead to pinpoint bleeding.
- Documenting settings at the end of each service is essential.
- Microdermabrasion can remove up to 25% of the stratum corneum and should stop before erythema appears.
Chemical Peels
- Contraindications include use of retinoids, herpes simplex, open lesions, and several skin conditions like eczema and lupus.
- Typical acid concentrations vary from 15-30% in salons; medical peels have higher concentrations and lower pH.
- Estheticians should avoid using phenol-containing peels.
- Common exfoliant ingredients include AHA's and BHA's.
- Salicylic acid should not be used on pregnant clients.
- Acetone may be used as a degreaser before a Jessner Peel.
Laser Treatments
- Contraindications include photosensitivity, Accutane use, suspicious lesions, and various health conditions.
- Laser light intensity can magnify by up to 100,000 times through the eye lens.
- Ablative lasers remove part or all of the epidermis, while cooling methods can include cryogen spray or forced air.
- Lasers should never be performed under the eyebrow area.
- Patients should always receive a medical evaluation and Fitz type assessment.
Phototherapy Techniques
- Photothermal process transforms chromophores into heat to target and destroy them.
- Photomechanical devices utilize short pulse durations for rapid target destruction.
- Photomodulation therapy triggers cellular metabolism using low-level light energy (LED therapy).
- Photorejuvenation enhances collagen and elastin while improving vascular and pigmented skin lesions.
- Photodynamic therapy combines light with aminolevulinic acid (ALA) to treat actinic keratosis and acne.
Chromophores and Laser Parameters
- Alexandrite (755nm) targets melanin, Nd:YAG (1064nm) and Diode (810nm) target blood, while 10,600nm targets water.
- Laser qualities include monochromatic, collimated, and coherent.
- Key laser parameters encompass wavelength, fluence (energy delivered), spot size, and pulse duration.
Radiofrequency and LED Treatments
- Radiofrequency (RF) is based on alternating electrical currents for skin tightening.
- Monopolar RF uses a single electrode for deep dermal heating.
- Bipolar RF has electrodes placed on opposite ends of the hand-piece to tighten skin.
- LED treatments have different colors for various effects: Green LED reduces hyperpigmentation, Yellow LED aids edema, and Red LED stimulates wound healing.
Body Treatments
- Contraindications for body treatments include pregnancy, open wounds, and various health issues.
- Linens and plastic wraps are used to enhance ingredient infusion.
- Seaweed/algae is a popular body treatment ingredient, aiding circulation and detoxification.
- Thalassotherapy and Balenotherapy utilize seawater and mud for therapeutic purposes.
Electrodessication and Photo-Aging
- Electrodessication uses low-frequency radio waves to treat skin lesions.
- Contraindications for electrodessication include open wounds and suspicious lesions.
- Common skin pigmentation disorders include tinea versicolor, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and melasma.
Skin Cancers and Disorders
- Basal cell carcinomas are the most common yet least severe skin cancers.
- Squamous cell carcinomas present as red or pink bumps that may bleed.
- Melanoma is the least common but most severe type of skin cancer.
- Actinic keratosis is a precancerous growth from sun exposure.
Miscellaneous
- Rosacea results in flushing and can be caused by demodex or excessive yeast.
- Aromatherapy and phytotherapy utilize therapeutic smells and plants respectively.
- Citrus oils can increase skin photosensitivity, warranting caution in treatments.
