What is an electric current?

• Flow of electricity along a conductor.

What is electricity?

• A form of energy that when in motion, exhibits magnetic, chemical or thermal effects; a flow of electrons.

What is a conductor?

• Any substances, materials, or medium that easily transmits electricity.

What is an insulator or nonconductor?

• A substance that doesn't easily transmit electricity.

What is a complete circuit?

• The path of an electric current from the generating source through conductors and back to its original source.

What is direct current (DC)?

• A constant, even flowing current that travels in one direction only.

What is the function of a converter?

• To change direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC).

What is the function of a rectifier?

• To change alternating current to direct current.

What is alternating current (AC)?

• A rapid and interrupted current, flowing first in one direction and then in the opposite direction, producing mechanical action.

What is an Amp (A)?

• Is a unit of measures the strength of an electrical current.

What is a Volt (V)?

• A unit that measures the pressure or force that pushes the flow of electrons through a conductor.

What is a milliampere?

• 1/1000th of an ampere.

What is Ohm (O)?

• A unit that measures the resistance of an electric current.

What is a Watt (W)?

• Measurement of how much electric energy is being used in one second.

How many watts are in a kilowatt (K)?

• 1000 watts.
• 100 watts

   

• 10 watts

What is a Fuse?

• A special device that prevents excessive current from passing through a circuit.

What is the function of a circuit breaker?

• A switch that automatically interrupts or shuts off an electric circuit at the first indication of an overload.

What is the name for the electronic facial treatments?

• Electrotherapy

What is an electrode? Or what serves as a contductor for electricity during electrotherapy?

• An electrode is an applicator for directing the electric current from the machine to the client's skin.

What is the name for positive electrode?

• Anode (usually red, marked with "p" of "+")

What is the name for a negative electrode?

• Cathode (usually black, marked "N" or "-")

What is the galvanic current?

• Uses a constant and direct current, using positive and negative pole to produce the chemical changes when it passes through the tissues and fluids of the body.

What is the active electrode?

• Electrode used on the area to be treated.

What is Iontophoresis?

• A process of introducing water soluble products into the skin by using electric current such as that from the positive and negative poles of a galvanic machine.

What is the function of Cataphoresis?

• A process of forcing acidic substances into deeper tissue using galvanic current from the positive towards the negative pole.

What is the function of Anaphoresis?

• A process of forcing alkaline liquids into the tissues from the negative toward the positive pole.

What is Disincrustation?

• Galvanic current used to create an alkaline chemical reaction that emulsifies or liquidifies sebum and debris.  The negative electrode is active.  The process is good for oily and acnetic skin.

What is Telsa high frequency current?

• Thermal or heat producing current with a high rate of oscillation or vibration also called "violet ray."

What are two methods for applying high-frequency current?

1. Direct surface application
2. Indirect application

What is the light therapy?

• The application of light rays to the skin for the treatment of acne, wrinkles, capillaries, pigmentation or hair removal.

What are ultraviolet rays?

• Invisible rays that have longer wavelengths, penetrate deeper and produce more heat than visible light does.  They make up to 60% of natural sunlight.

What is the skin type blue light is used for?

• Oily skin that is bare.

What skin type is the red light used for?

• Dry skin, combined with oils and creams.

What are the four modalities used in electrotherapy? What kind of current in each one?
