29
Acne grade 4 description
More severe with cysts, becoming widespread on face, chest, and back
30
3 phases of facial
Increase Balance Decrease
31
Stimulation def
Microcirculation, cell turnover, and natural skin moisture increased
32
Microcirculation helps what and benefits what conditions
Skin gets nutrients that improve cellular function, move lymph fluid, deep cleanse, and increase natural hydration Cleansing may show redness Aging and texture
33
Desquamation stimulates? It helps? Conditions that benefit?
Stimulates cell turnover Helps improve skin barrier strength, reduces dead skin cell buildup, pigmented spots and wrinkles, and increases cell turnover time Aging, texture, acne, and pigmentation
34
Tissue tightening helps what and which conditions benefit?
Helps reduce appearance of sagging skin and wrinkles; promotes cellular health, muscle stimulation, and hydration Aging
35
Hydration helps what and which conditions benefit?
Helps reduce appearance of fine lines, improves texture, helps repair skin’s barrier; improves skin health by balancing secretions and skin microflora; increases water content within stratum corneum Sensitivity and aging
36
Goal of balance phase is to
Protect skins barrier by improving stratum corneum hydration, reducing bacteria, and assisting cellular health
37
Hydration in the balance phase and conditions that benefit
Proper water content within the skin protects the skins barrier and improves cellular function Texture, pigmentation, and acne
38
Protection in the balance phase and conditions that benefit
Protecting cells from free-radical damage, glycation and water loss helps improve skin function; maintain and repair skins barrier Aging
39
Oil in the balance phase and conditions that benefit
Balanced oil production reduces bacteria overgrowth and helps balance natural hydration in the stratum corneum Texture and acne
40
Goal of the decrease phase
To improve skin appearance by reducing inflammation and bacteria overgrowth, slowing melanocyte overproduction, and decreasing skin barrier dysfunction
41
Why decreasing redness/inflammation is good, how to do it, and what conditions does it benefit
Reducing inflammation promotes healthy cellular function Use cool compresses, cool devices, and soothing serums Sensitivity, acne, aging, and pigmentation
42
Why decreasing microcirculation is good, how to do it, and what conditions does it benefit
Some skin conditions can be made worse with overstimulation Use stimulating massage movements, hot towels, and steam Sensitivity
43
Why decreasing rough texture is good, how to do it, and what conditions does it benefit
Dead skin buildup: prevents active ingredients from absorbing, makes conditions like fine lines look worse, promotes breakouts, and gives skin a generally dull appearance Use modalities to help reduce stratum corneum buildup Texture
44
Modalities used in decrease phase
Exfoliation using enzymes Galvanic current Cool temperatures Specific massage movements
45
Why improving discomfort is good and what conditions does it benefit (decreasing phase)
Helps reduce skin inflammation; could also be a contraindication Sensitivity
46
Why decreasing edema is good, how to do it, and what conditions does it benefit
Healthy lymph circulation improves skin health and reduces puffiness in areas such as around the eyes Help move fluid and stimulate lymphatic system Sensitivity
47
Why improving discoloration is good, how to do it, and what conditions does it benefit
Epidermal discoloration improves with exfoliation and use of products that block melanin formation; pigmentation is triggered by internal and external stress, use caution Pigmentation
48
Why decreasing oil/bacteria is good and what conditions does it benefit
Oil imbalance within the skin promotes pustules, blackheads, and papules Acne
49
The “teach” step ensures
Your client fully understands skin analysis, recommended treatments, and products to use at home
