1/1

Definition

Direct / Sparking:

Oxygen ionizesdue to the gap

between the electrodeand the skin

tissueswhich then creates Ozone.

(HF + Oxygen = Ozone)

IndirectA current is generated by high rate

of oscillations (cycles) per second

which then caused friction of

water molecules within the skin

tissue.

High Frequency

Or

Tesla Current

Electrical Information Alternating (Oscillation)

Current

Oscillation rate from 20,000-250,000 Hz

Frequency= Measure ofHertz (Hz) per second

Hz= Unit to measure thefrequency of the number ofwavelength pass through per

second.

ElectrodesMushroom,Neck, Rake, Fulgurator &

Saturator.

General Effect

Thermal effect. No Mechanical effectGases

Neon = Orange Argon = Violet /Purple

Specific Effects & BenefitsDirect

Anti-bacterial and germicidaldue to Ozone production,

Increased cellular metabolism,

Dries and regulates sebum

flow & Desquamation -

encourage skin shedding onscar tissue.

Indirect

Relaxes client, Soothes nerveendings, Creates warmth,

Increase circulationincrease

metabolism, Improves skin

texture due to desquamation,

Encourage product absorption

& Increases elimination of

waste products due to increase

of skin temperature.

Contraindication Metal plates & pins Pacemakers Heart Conditions Cancers (Abnormal tissues) Diabetes Epilepsy Asthma (ozone can precipitate

attack)

Thrombosis Pregnancy Open cuts or abrasion &

sunburn

Extreme vascular conditionsdue to increase warmth &

stimulation

Application Methods

1. Ensure machine is swithed off or on zero before the electrode is in contact with clients skin,2. Then turn dial to the intensity which client is comfortable,3. Turned back to zero before removing electrode from client.

OR

1. Start the machine at a minimum level and place your (therapist) forefinger on the glasselectrode,

2. Then position the electrode on clients face before removing your forefinger from the electrode& increase the level which client is comfortable,

3. On completion of treatment, lower the intensity to minimum, replace your finger on theelectrode & remove from clients skin and then switched off the machine.
