What is an enzyme? - A biological catalyst that speeds up chemical reactions; the chemical reaction
we want is the break-down of keratin
How long do you leave on an enzyme? - 15 minutes [it takes that long for the chemical reaction to
occur]

What is an enzyme? - ✔✔A biological catalyst that speeds up chemical reactions; the chemical reaction
we want is the break-down of keratin
How long do you leave on an enzyme? - ✔✔15 minutes [it takes that long for the chemical reaction to
occur]
Why don't you use ozone on the steamer with an enzyme on the skin? - ✔✔Ozone would deactivate the
enzyme
What type of currant is Galvanic Iontophoresis? - ✔✔A constant direct current
What does Iontophoresis current do to the skin? - ✔✔It forces electrically charged particles deeper into
the skin
What type of product do you use to force the product into the skin for Iontophoresis? - ✔✔It needs to
be water based to conduct electricity
Iontophoresis- what polarity do you use to force the product into the skin? - ✔✔Negative electrode on
the face first to penetrate negatively charged ingredients; then I'll change polarity to positive to
penetrate the positively charged ingredients
Why do you apply the negative electrode first in Iontophoresis? - ✔✔Because the negative electrode
also creates an alkalinity on the skin. With the positive electrode I not only penetrate positive particles
but put the skin back to its slightly acidic pH
, How does the client benefit from Iontophoresis? - ✔✔The ingredients will arrive deeper in the skin
where cells can metabolize the. Additionally, moisture will enter the skin through electro-osmosis. The
skin will be moist and plump and the conditions will be addressed at their source.
What are contraindications for Iontophoresis? - ✔✔Epilepsy
Metal plates and pins
Pacemaker/defibrillator
Heart insufficiencies
Pregnancy
Infections
Fever
Cancer
Open wounds and sores
Loss of neural sensitivity
What are safety precautions for Iontophoresis? - ✔✔No metal parts of the electrodes may touch the skin
There needs to be plenty of moisture at both electrodes
Electrodes need to be evenly covered with cotton or tissue, or have a banana-peel thick layer of gel on
the face to prevent a chemical burn
I make sure the intensity is down at 0 before I turn on the machine. I increase intensity slowly until my
client feels a slight tingle or gets a metal taste. Never increase higher than 2.0 milliamperes.
I keep contact with the skin at all times as long as current is flowing.
I turn down my intensity and turn off the machine before I remove the electrode from my client's skin.
High Frequency- what type of current are you using? - ✔✔A high frequent alternating current
High Frequency- what does this current do? - ✔✔It creates static electricity, which activates all cell
functions, and it creates ozone for a germicidal effect
High Frequency- what is in the glass electrode? - ✔✔Either neon or Argon gas
