Q

WHICH IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE POLE AND WHY?

A

NEGATIVE POLE
HAS SPECIFIC EFFECTS WHICH AID THE REMOVAL OF CELLULITE BY STIMULATING THE MOVEMENT OF TISSUE FLUID
THE TISSUE FLUID DILUTES THE TOXINS
THESE ARE REMOVED WHEN POLARITY IS REVERSED

CUTS AND ABRASIONS

17
Q

WHAT AREAS CAN NOT BE TREATED WITH BODY GALVANIC?

A

KIDNEY AREA
BONEY AREAS
SCIATIC NERVE
BREASTS

18
Q

WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS AT THE NEGATIVE POLE (START OF TREATMENT)?

A

SOFTENS AND RELAXES TISSUES
OPENS THE PORES
STIMULATES CIRCULATION
INCREASED ERYTHEMA
STIMULATES SENSORY NERVES
ALKALINE EFFECT ON THE SKIN
TISSUE FLUID MOVEMENT TOWARDS THE NEGATIVE POLE AIDS IN DILUTION OF THE PRODUCTS

19
Q

WHAT ARE THE ELECTRICAL EFFECTS AT THE POSITIVE POLE (END OF TREATMENT)?

A

FIRMS AND TIGHTENS THE SKIN
CLOSES THE PORES
DECREASES CIRCULATION
DECREASES VASCULARITY SO CALMS THE AREA
SOOTHES SENSORY NERVES
PRODUCTION OF AN ACID ON THE SKIN
TISSUE FLUID MOVEMENT TOWARDS THE POSITIVE POLE HELPS WITH FURTHER DILUTING THE FLUID

20
Q

WHAT IS THE SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLE FOR FARADIC?

A

LIKE POLES REPEL

21
Q

EXPLAIN HOW THE TREATMENT WORKS

A

ANTI-CELLULITE GEL ON PADS
THE CATHODE (BLACK) IS PLACED ON THE PROBLEM AREA
THE ANODE (RED) IS PLACED NEXT TO IT
START ON NEGATIVE
THE CURRENT CAUSES THE GEL TO REPEL DEEPER INTO THE TISSUES
THE CURRENT CAUSES SODIUM CHLORIDE IN THE TISSUES TO BREAK APART TO FORM SODIUM AND CHLORIDE
THESE REFORM INTO SODIUM HYDROXIDE AND HYDROCHLORIC ACID
AT THE NEGATIVE POLE SODIUM HYDROXIDE IS PRODUCED AND AT THE POSITIVE POLE HYDROCHLORIC ACID IS PRODUCED
THE GEL AND THE MOVEMENT OF TISSUE FLUID HELPS TO BREAK DOWN CELLULITE AND AIDS THE REMOVAL OF WASTE

22

A

15 MINUTES NEGATIVE
5 MINUTES POSITIVE

23
Q

2 MINUTES POSITIVE

24
Q

WHAT IS THE RANGE FOR MILLIAMPS?
