 Industrialized societies are very dependent upon
electrical power. How would the services provided
by a skin care center be diminished if electricity
suddenly become unavailable?
 What would you offer a client instead?

Electricity
5
Electricity: is the form of
energy that produces
light, heat, magnetic &
chemical changes.
Electric current: the
flow of electricity along a
conductor

Types of Electric Current
7
 Direct current: (DC)
 Constant even flow
 One direction only
 (ex. flashlights, cell phones)
 Alternating current:
(AC)
 Rapid & interrupted
 Flowing 1st in one
direction and then in the
opposite
 (ex hair dryers & curling irons)
 Converter is a device
that changes DC to AC
 Rectifier is a device that
changes AC to DC
Conductors vs. Insulators

 Each group will research one of the following and
place information on the paper provided. You may
use your book or internet to do this.
Amp
 Volt
 Ohm
 Watt

 Then the group will report back to the class your
findings
Measurements of Electricity
10
 Amp: strength of the current.
 The higher amp rating indicates a greater number of
electrons and a stronger current.
 Volt: pressure
 pushes the flow of electrons forward through a conductor
 Milliamper: one-thousandth of an amper.
 Used to measure the current for facial treatments.
11
 ohm: resistance of an electric current.
 Current will not flow through the conductor unless the force
(volts) is stronger than the resistance (ohm).
 Watt: a measurement how much energy is being
used in one second.

(ex. a 40 watt light bulb uses 40 watts of energy per second.
 Kilowatt: is 1,000 watts.
Calculate Cost
12
AMP x VOLTS = WATTS
WATTS / 1000 = KW (kilowatt)
KW X HOURS USED = KWH
KWH X 0.12(COST) = COST PER MONTH

How much does that cost?
Amy uses her flat iron 30 minutes each day for 30 days. It uses 120
amps and 60 volts of electricity. The electric company charges
$0.08 per KWh

Electric Currents
29
 Modality : refers to the
flow of electricity along a
conductor
 4 main types:




Galvanic
High Frequency
Faradic
Sinusoidal
Phoresis
30
 The process of forcing a
water based solution into
the skin by using
Galvanic current.
 Two types

Anaphoresis

Cataphoresis
Polarity
31
 Indicates negative or positive
 Nanode- positive current, usually red and marked
w/a P or (+)
 Cathode- negative electrode, usually black and
marked w/a N or (-)

Do not let the tips of the cords touch or you will cause a short
circuit.
High Frequency Current
32
Tesla Current and produces
heat
Filled with:
Argon gas (used for acne
lesions)
Neon gas (normal to oily to
improve product
penetration or increase
circulation)

Ozone
Sparking……

 You will break into 4 groups
 Read about Faradic Current or Sinusoidal Current
 Your group will then write on the paper provided the
benefits
Faradic Current
37
alternating current that produces a mechanical reaction w/out a
chemical effect
Sinusoidal
38 Current
alternating current that produces mechanical contractions
that tone the muscles.
Benefits include
Greater stimulation, deeper penetration, and less irritating
Soothes the nerves and penetrates into deeper muscle tissue
Is best suited from the nervous client

Light Therapy
42
 Treatment by means of light. These rays travel at
186,000 miles per second.
 Short waves= Xrays
 Longer waves= TV or Radio
Visible Light: light we can see.
43
Invisible Light
44
Infrared Rays
60% of all natural light
long wave lengths
penetrate all skin layers
produce the most heat
Ultraviolet Rays
short wavelengths
least penetrating
Produce chemical
effects & kill germs
Infrared Light or
