What is static electricity?

Static electricity is the build-up of electrical charge on the surface of an object

Define Electrical Energy:

Electrical energy is the energy produced by the movement of electric charges (electrons) through a conductor

Finish the sentence

Electricity is a flow of:

Electrons

For an electrolytic process to occur the following are necessary:

Question 19

D: All of the above

Positive

Frequency is the amount of oscillations per second of energy in the form of:

Waves

swap 2 and 3

Three characteristics of waves can be measured:

• Frequency

• Wavelength

• Amplitude

List 3 safety precautions for an Ultrasonic /Sonophoresis device. (Be specific)

• Doo not use over broken, infected or inflamed skin

• Keep treatment head moving at all times

• Avoid use on clients with pacemakers, metal implants, or pregnancy

Describe the mechanical effect when ultrasonic is applied to the skin:

Vibration and micro-massage of the skin tissues

Why is the skin barrier important in ultrasonic application?

it protects the skin from irritation and helps control the absorption of products into the deeper layers of the skin.

Explain the polarity of the active electrode and the polarity of the ampoule/serum during iontophoresis.

The active electrode and serum must have the same polarity so they repel and push ingredients into the skin.

Explain why it is important to restore the pH balance during desincrustation.

To restore the skin's natural acid mantle, reduce irritation, and protect the skin. and balance ph level

Explain how the pH balance is restored during desincrustation?

reversing the electrode to a positive anode

At what stage of desincrustation are extractions recommended?

After desincrustation treatment

Who states the polarity of the ampoules / serums?

The manufacturer

During Galvanic treatments, how is the circuit completed?

The circuit is completed when the client holds the passive electrode, allowing the current to flow through the body.
