Desquamation: Stratum corneum New cells replaced from lower stratums - cell turnover lifestyle, age, and health Exfoliation Increase cell turnover, blood flow and circulation 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 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 Stimulates circulation. Helps oxygenate the skin. Increases cell metabolism. Contraindications: Inflamed areas 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 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. Contraindications: Heart conditions Pacemakers or electrical implants Advanced diabetes Cancerous lesions Definitions: 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) Stratum Corneum - The outermost layer of the epidermis Stratum Lucidum - A smooth, seemingly translucent layer of the epidermis Stratum Granulosum - Layer of cells in epidermis 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 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
