Esthetics

  Wood's Lamp 

  Developed by Robert Williams Woods, this machine uses filtered black light to illuminate different skin
  issues that may not been seen by the naked eye.

In this video, an esthetician shows you what her own skin looks like under a Wood's Lamp.

  Rotary Brush

  This is a machine with a brush head that is used to exfoliate the skin. Each machine can have different
  brush sizes, materials, speeds, and directions.

  Steamer

  Water vapor is aimed at the face of the client for many benefits. Some steamers can use ozone
  along with steam for antiseptic use on the skin. 

  Used for:

• Skin Circulation
• Softening sebum
• Relaxing skin and client

  Vacuum (or Suction) Machine 
  This machine uses suction to remove impurities while also helping blood circulation. 

Galvanic Current 

This machine converts an alternating current that is received from an outlet to a direct current allowing electrons to flow in the same direction. This results in a relaxation response that can be used in different treatments.

  Desincrustation 

  This is used to soften hard sebum and for deep pore cleansing. The galvanic current creates a chemical
  reaction that softens debris in the follicle, making extraction easier. 

 Iontophoresis

 Iontophoresis uses electric current to help water-soluble products better penetrate the skin. This works
 by allowing current to flow through conductive solutions from the positive and negative polarities to
 separate the substance into ions, also known as ionization. 

  High-Frequency Machine

  Uses alternating, sinusoidal current for many different skin benefits including

• antiseptic  - the Ozone has a germicidal action on the skin
• simulates circulation
• increases cell metabolism
• relaxation effect on skin
• helps to oxygenate the skin
