Basics of Electricity

Constant and direct current, having a positive and negative pole, that produces chemical changes when it passes through the tissues and fluids of the body.

• Tesla high-frequency current

• microcurrent

• direct current

• galvanic current

A form of anaphoresis; process used to soften and emulsify grease deposits (oil) and blackheads in the hair follicles.

• cathode

• anode

• desincrustation

• cataphoresis

Process of infusing water-soluble products into the skin with the use of electric current, such as the use of the positive and negative poles of a galvanic machine.

• anaphoresis

• iontophoresis

• Tesla high-frequency current

• microcurrent

Rapid and interrupted current, flowing first in one direction and then in the opposite direction; produced by mechanical means and changes directions 60 times per second.

• alternating current

• direct current

• electrode

• modalities

Process of fusing an acidic (positive) product into deeper tissues using galvanic current from the positive pole toward the negative pole.

• anaphoresis

• cataphoresis

• direct current

• catalysts

Unit that measures the strength of an electric current.

• milliampere

• ohm

• ampere

• watt

A medical device that uses multiple colors and wavelengths (broad spectrum) of focused light to treat spider veins, hyperpigmentation, rosacea and redness, wrinkles, enlarged hair follicles and pores, and excessive hair.

• invisible light

• light therapy

• ultraviolet light

• intense pulse light

Flow of electricity along a conductor.

• direct current

• electric current

• galvanic current

• alternating current

Unit that measures how much electric energy is being used in one second.

• volt

• watt

• ohm

• kilowatt

Also known as violet ray; thermal or heat-producing current with a high rate of oscillation or vibration that is commonly used for scalp and facial treatments.

• galvanic current

• direct current

• Tesla high-frequency current
