Desquamation: ​ Stratum corneum ​ New cells replaced from lower stratums - cell turnover ​ lifestyle, age, and health Exfoliation ​ Process used to aid the skin with desquamation ​ Increase cell turnover, blood flow and circulation ​ Deep pore cleansing ​ Product penetration Effects of the Rotary Brush: ​ Stimulates the skin and helps soften excess oil, dirt, and cell buildup. Safety and Maintenance of the Rotary Brush: ​ Some brushes with natural bristles may deteriorate and are prohibited from use due to the inability to clean and disinfect them. Guidelines for Maintaining Brushes: ​ The brushes will break down if left in the ultraviolet sanitizer too long. Benefits of The Professional Masks: ​ Draw impurities out of pores ​ Clear up blemishes ​ Tighten and tone ​ Hydrate and nourish ​ Calm ​ Rejuvenate Examples of Beneficial Ingredients Found in Masks: ​ Vitamin A, C, E ​ Hyaluronic Acid ​ Seaweed ​ Calcium ​ Diatomaceous Earth ​ Bentonite ​ Kaolin ​ Honey ​ Glycerin ​ Zinc Oxide Types of Masks: ​ Wax ​ Setting/ Modeling Serum and Ampoule Applications: ​ Moisturizers ​ Masks ​ Massage creams ​ Facial machines Serum and Ampoule Benefits: ​ Increase hydration and nourishment ​ Aid in skin tightening, healing and repair ​ Anti-aging, exfoliate, brighten, even out skin tone ​ Balance oil production and acne prevention Desincrustation: ​ Sit on face 10-15 min. ​ Galvanic current – oiler skin (not acne). Extractions of Milia: ​ Spread skin tight around the Milia with your fingertips ​ Using a sterile lancet lift the top cell layers ​ Gentle press and lift on the Milia ​ More pressure on the “unopened” side may help High Frequency: ​ No polarity, in effect doesn’t produce chemical changes. Makes product penetration physically impossible. Effects of High Frequency ​ Has an antiseptic and healing effect on the skin because it creates ozone. ​ Stimulates circulation. ​ Helps oxygenate the skin. ​ Increases cell metabolism. Contraindications: ​ Inflamed areas ​ Metal Implants ​ Heart problems ​ Braces ​ Body piercings from the waist up Indirect High Frequency Technique: ​ Creates a regenerating action ​ Increases blood flow ​ Great for skin lacking firmness and tone ​ Stimulating for dry skin BENEFITS OF MASSAGE: ​ Relaxation ​ Stimulation ​ Helps muscle tone ​ Cleansing ​ Exfoliation ​ Reduces puffiness ​ Product absorption FACIAL MASSAGE CONTRAINDICATIONS: ​ Sensitive skin ​ Skin disorders ​ Severe, uncontrolled hypertension ​ Uncontrolled diabetes ALTERNATIVE MASSAGE TECHNIQUES: ​ Acupressure ​ Shiatsu ​ Pressure point massage ​ Aromatherapy ​ Manual lymph drainage Ultrasound Technology: ​ Ultrasound/ultrasonic, refers to frequency above range of sound audible to human ear. ​ Ultrasonic equipment is based on high-frequency mechanical oscillations produced by a metal spatula-like tool. When to use and Effects of Ultrasound Technology: ​ Vibrations, created through water medium, help cleanse and exfoliate skin. ​ Sonophoresis: process where device sends waves through skin to assist in product penetration. Contraindications: ​ Heart conditions ​ Pacemakers or electrical implants ​ Advanced diabetes ​ Cancerous lesions Definitions: Epidermis -​ Outermost layer of skin + protects body from environment Dermis -​ Inner layer of the two main layers of skin Subcutaneous layer -​ Layer of tissue that underlies the skin Adipose -​ A connective tissue, but its also an interactive organ in your endocrine system Keratinocytes -​ The primary type of cell found in the epidermis Merkel cells -​ A special type of cell found right below the epidermis (top layer of skin) Collagen -​ Gives strength and flexibility Stratum Corneum -​ The outermost layer of the epidermis Stratum Lucidum -​ A smooth, seemingly translucent layer of the epidermis located just above the stratum granulosum and below the stratum corneum Stratum Granulosum -​ Layer of cells in epidermis lying above the stratum spinosum and below stratum lucidum Stratum Spinosum -​ Also called the prickle cell layer Stratum Germinativum -​ Separated from dermis by basement membrane and attached to it by hemidesmosomes Sun Damage -​ When sun prematurely ages the skin, called photoaging, and can lead to skin cancer Hyperkeratinization -​ Occurs when cells of follicle become cohesive + do not shed normally onto skins surface Seborrhea -​ Chronic, relapsing skin condition that affects areas of body with many oil glands Wrinkles/Aging -​ Skin becomes thinner, drier, and less elastic Poor Elasticity -​ Saggy, crinkled, or leathery skin Cysts -​ Closed sac-like structure that can occur anywhere in the body
