The document discusses micro-current treatment for skin. Micro-current uses low-intensity pulses of electric current to improve skin condition. It works by stimulating cell metabolism, improving muscle tone, and increasing collagen and elastin production. For best results, 12 treatments over 6 weeks are recommended, with photos before and after to demonstrate the benefits of the treatment.
Micro-current is a treatment that uses a very small electrical current to stimulate cellular activity and speed up metabolism in tissues. It can tighten skin, reduce wrinkles and lines, and lift sagging muscles. A full course of micro-current treatments involves 10-12 sessions over 5-6 weeks, with different wave forms and programs targeting circulation, lymph drainage, lifting, and firming. Regular micro-current can help delay the signs of aging by promoting collagen and elastin production.
Galvanic facials use a direct electric current to introduce solutions into the skin. A galvanic machine converts mains power into a smooth direct current up to 100 volts. Treatments include desincrustation, which cleanses skin, and iontophoresis, which introduces water-soluble ingredients. The polarity and solutions used determine the effects on the skin. Precautions must be taken to ensure client safety when applying the current.
This document discusses electrotherapy and its uses and applications. It describes electrotherapy as an alternating, oscillating high frequency current that is higher in voltage but lower in amps. It alternates rapidly more than 50 times per second at a frequency of 100,000-250,000 Hertz. Electrotherapy can be used for direct application to the skin using a glass electrode or indirect application through a therapist's hands. It has benefits such as warming and relaxing tissues, increasing circulation, calming nerves, and improving skin moisture and metabolism. However, it should not be used on areas with cuts/abrasions, metal, or certain medical conditions without approval.
The vacuum suction facial treatment uses a machine with cups to lift the skin and stimulate lymphatic and blood circulation. It works by applying suction through cups moved over the face to drain waste and improve skin condition. Precautions must be taken when applying the treatment, such as checking suction levels and releasing pressure before removing cups, to avoid bruising. The treatment benefits the lymphatic, circulatory, nervous, muscular and skin systems by improving drainage, blood flow, relaxation and cell metabolism.
This document provides information on high frequency treatments, which use an alternating current over 100,000 cycles per second to heal, stimulate, or sanitize the skin. It describes direct high frequency, where the electrode is placed on the skin, and indirect high frequency (Viennese massage), where the client holds the electrode and the therapist massages the skin. Both methods increase circulation, speed cell metabolism, and have antibacterial effects. Precautions for safe application include removing jewelry, keeping the electrode in contact with the skin, and monitoring the client's comfort.
A faradic current is a short duration interrupted direct current with a pulse duration of 0.1-1 ms and frequency of 50-100 Hz. It produces a biphasic, asymmetrical and spiked waveform. Faradic currents are used to produce near normal tetanic-like muscle contractions and relaxations. When applied to nerves and muscles, it causes sensory stimulation, muscle contraction, reduced swelling and pain, and increased metabolism. Faradic current is indicated for muscle reeducation, maintaining range of motion, loosening adhesions, and replacing orthosis. It involves placing electrodes on muscles or nerve trunks and gradually increasing and decreasing intensity to cause contraction and relaxation.
Galvanic treatments use low voltage direct current to cleanse and treat the skin. The current is produced through a rectifier and capacitor to create a smooth current. Treatments include desincrustation, which deeply cleanses skin, and iontophoresis, which drives creams or solutions into the skin. Precautions must be taken regarding product and machine polarity as well as health conditions that contraindicate treatment. Side effects are rare but can include a metallic taste or temporary irritation.
Lymphatic draining with vacuum suction uses external suction applied by small moving cups to lift facial tissues. This stimulates the lymphatic and circulatory systems, aiding the flow of waste products and fluids from the area to lymph nodes. The treatment improves skin condition, reduces puffiness, and assists with removing fatty deposits by draining waste and improving circulation. Precautions must be taken when applying the suction to prevent bruising, such as releasing pressure before removing cups and not overtreating areas.
The document discusses gyratory massage and vibratory treatments. It describes the general effects of massage including increased blood and lymph circulation and relaxation of muscles. It outlines appropriate uses of gyratory vibratory treatment and lists contraindications. The document also discusses pre-treatment procedures, safety considerations, applicator attachments for floor-standing and hand-held machines, sterilization, aftercare, and potential contra-actions.
Laser therapy involves using concentrated light from lasers to treat various medical conditions. Key points:
- Lasers emit coherent, monochromatic light that can be used for both therapeutic and surgical purposes.
- Low-level lasers are used therapeutically to reduce pain and inflammation and promote tissue healing through photobiomodulation.
- The physiological effects of low-level laser therapy include reducing pain by increasing endorphins and serotonin, reducing inflammation by enhancing ATP and stabilizing cell membranes, and promoting tissue healing by increasing macrophage and fibroblast activity.
- Common indications are dermatological disorders, musculoskeletal pain, and neurogenic pain. Lasers are classified based on power output and safety, with classes 1
Modified galvanic current, or interrupted direct current, is a type of electrical stimulation where a direct current is pulsed on and off at regular intervals. The document discusses how this current is produced using a source, transistors, and a timer circuit. It describes the physiological effects of interrupted direct current such as sensory stimulation, hyperemia, electrotonus, pain relief, and accelerated healing. The document also provides guidelines for administering interrupted direct current and lists contraindications.
IFT which stands for Interferential Therapy is one of the types of electrotherapy used for the management of pain. The principle of interferential therapy is to cause two medium frequency currents of slightly different frequencies to interfere with one another. For example, if circuit A carries a current with the frequency of 4000Hz and Circuit B carry a current with a frequency of 3980 Hz, then the low frequency produced will be 20 Hz and this frequency is very useful in pain modulation. A new low-frequency current known as the beat frequency is equal to the difference in frequencies between the two medium frequency currents produced in the tissues at the point where the two currents cross.
It is basically used for the treatment of Chronic, Post Traumatic, and Post-surgical pains. The basic principle involves the utilization of effects of low frequencies (<250pps) without painful or unpleasant side effects. The major advantage of IFT is that it produces effects in the tissue, exactly where required without unnecessary and uncomfortable skin stimulation. This technique is widely used to elicit muscle contraction, promote healing and reduce edema.
Vector effect: The interference field is rotated to an angle of 450 in each direction, the field thus covers a wider area. This is useful in diffuse pathology or if the site of the lesion cannot be accurately localized.
Frequency swing: Some equipment allows a variation in the speed of the frequency swing. A rhythmic mode may be a continuous swing from 0 to 100 Hz in 5-10s and back in similar time or it may hold for 1-6s at one frequency followed by 1-6s at another frequency with a variable time to swing between the two.
Constant frequency: Some treatments may be carried out with the interference fixed at a certain frequency. Rhythmic frequency is useful if several types of tissues are to be treated at once. A variation in the frequency also overcomes the problem of tissue accommodation where the response of a particular tissue decreases with time.
WORKING PRINCIPLE: Interferential current therapy works by sending small amounts of electrical stimulation to damaged tissues in the body. The therapy is meant to boost the body's natural process of responding to pain, by increasing circulation thus produces hormones that promote healing. IFT delivers intermittent pulses to stimulate surface nerves and block the pain signal, by delivering continuous deep stimulation into the affected tissue. IFT relieves pain, increases circulation, decreases edema, and stimulates the muscles. A frequency of 100Hz may stimulate the large diameter A-beta fibers, which have an effect on the pain gate, and inhibit the transmission of small-diameter nociceptive traffic ( C and A-delta fiber), which effectively closes the gait to painful impulses. Interferential current Increases the circulation of blood thus reduces swelling.
This document provides instructions for performing a galvanic facial treatment using desincrustation. It lists the necessary equipment including a galvanic machine, electrodes, gels, and consumables. It describes how to cleanse the skin, apply gel, and use slow circular motions with the electrodes for 5-7 minutes to improve the skin's cleanliness, tone, and texture via chemical reactions at the poles. Contraindications like cuts or diseases are noted. Safety tips are provided such as using the correct electrode size and keeping it in contact with the skin.
this ppt is about therapeutic massage by physiotherapist. includes details like indications, contraindications, effects, preparation of patient & therapist & classification of manipulations.
Interrupted direct current (IDC) involves delivering unidirectional current pulses separated by intervals of no current. The pulses can have different durations, frequencies, rise/fall times, and waveforms (rectangular, trapezoidal, triangular, sawtooth). IDC is used therapeutically for sensory stimulation, pain relief, accelerating healing, and muscle stimulation. It works on nerves and muscles depending on pulse duration and intensity. Techniques like labile and group stimulation are used to target all muscle fibers. IDC has physiological effects like hyperaemia and contraindications like metal implants or risk of injury.
Contrast baths involve alternating immersion of an area in hot and cold water to increase blood flow and decrease joint stiffness. The alternating temperatures cause vasodilation and vasoconstriction, pumping blood and removing edema. This treatment alleviates pain, stiffness, and edema by improving circulation, increasing immune cells, and suppressing pain. Contrast baths are used for injuries like sprains and arthritis of the hands, wrists, feet, ankles, elbows, and knees. The procedure involves soaking in warm water for periods, then cold water for shorter periods, totaling around 25 minutes.
Dr. Shweta Panchbudhe provides a lesson on iontophoresis. The key points are:
1. Iontophoresis is the transfer of ions through the skin using direct current. Positively charged ions migrate to the negative electrode and vice versa.
2. Different ions can be used to treat various conditions like salicylate for pain, chlorine for softening scars, and acetic acid for calcium deposits.
3. Proper application involves cleaning the skin, placing moistened electrodes on the treatment area and indifferent site, and applying a mild current for 15 minutes.
Microwave diathermy (MWD) for physiotherapistsJebarajFletcher
Microwave diathermy uses electromagnetic radiation between 300-3000 MHz to heat tissues for therapeutic purposes. It can penetrate 3 cm deep and is strongly absorbed by water and vascular tissues, heating them. Treatment involves using an applicator shaped to the area at a distance of 10-15 cm, gradually increasing intensity until warmth is felt for 10-30 minutes. Precautions must be taken to avoid overheating and protect eyes from microwaves. It is used to relieve pain and muscle spasms by increasing blood flow.
Vacuum suction uses suction cups to lift the skin and stimulate the lymphatic and circulatory systems. It can be used on any part of the body with sufficient fat and is often applied as a course of treatments to improve areas like cellulite. The machine consists of a pump, cups, tubing and controls. Treatment methods include gliding individual cups or using multiple pulsating cups. Precautions must be taken to prevent bruising, such as gradually increasing suction and releasing pressure before removing cups.

PHYSIOTHERAPY IN VETERINARY SURGERY AND RADIOLOGYDrKanteshkumarMJ
• The growing interest in physiotherapy and rehabilitation within small animal practice presents a few challenges for the veterinary surgeon.
• There is an expectation among the public, and within veterinary law, that veterinary practitioners should be the experts on physiotherapy and rehabilitation for animals, but current training does not prepare them for this role.
• While the non-specialist vet and nurse can easily and effectively provide simple physiotherapy modalities with just basic training, qualified veterinary physiotherapists can offer a new dimension to the small animal practice and bring additional expertise and skills to the veterinary team.
• The integration of physiotherapy in practice can help to improve outcomes and promote a positive, caring image to clients.
• Hopefully, when the established post-graduate programs of study begin to produce quality research the scientific evidence base for animal physiotherapy will broaden and strengthen, ultimately enhancing the quality of overall veterinary care.
• Physiotherapy has immense potential as an alternative treatment. It is cost effective and nowadays, this important branch is also rapidly becoming recognized tool in the prevention, cure and rehabilitation of many equine, canine and feline injuries.

1. Laser treatment can be used for face rejuvenation through either ablative or non-ablative procedures. Ablative procedures completely remove the epidermis and damage the dermis, resulting in more dramatic effects but longer recovery times. Non-ablative procedures heat the dermis without damaging the epidermis, providing more subtle effects with little to no downtime.
2. Proper patient evaluation and expectations are important to determine whether ablative or non-ablative treatment is appropriate. Non-ablative treatments require multiple sessions to achieve results gradually over time with minimal risks, making them better for some skin types and goals. Ablative treatments carry higher risks like scarring and pigmentation changes.

Laser therapy is effective for treating various musculoskeletal conditions like tendinitis and arthritis. Lasers work by emitting coherent, monochromatic beams of light that can be absorbed by tissues to induce physiological effects. Different types of lasers exist like ruby and diode lasers. Treatment involves applying the laser beam to areas like joints for a specified dosage while avoiding eyes and cancers. Studies show lasers can reduce pain and swelling, accelerate wound healing, and improve strength and function for conditions like lateral epicondylitis and rheumatoid arthritis. Precautions must be taken to prevent eye or skin damage from high intensity laser exposure.
The skin has three main layers - the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous layer. The epidermis has five layers and does not have its own blood supply. The dermis lies below and has two layers, the papillary and reticular layers. It contains collagen, elastin and fibroblasts. Below this is the subcutaneous layer made of fat. The skin has seven main functions - sensation, heat regulation, absorption, protection, excretion, secretion and vitamin D production.
The document discusses different types of joints in the human body. There are three main types of joints: fixed or immovable joints where bones overlap and do not move; slightly movable joints where bones can move a little and are connected by ligaments and cartilage; and freely movable or synovial joints where bones move freely, including ball-and-socket joints in the hips and shoulders. The document further describes six types of synovial joints based on their movement: ball and socket, hinge, pivot, gliding, saddle, and condyloid joints. Examples are provided of each type of joint and how they enable different motions.

The muscular system contains three main types of muscle tissue: cardiac, smooth, and skeletal. Cardiac muscle is found only in the heart, has striations and connects to other cardiac cells. Smooth muscle lines hollow organs and contracts slowly and continuously. Skeletal muscle is voluntary, attached to bones by tendons, and produces movement and posture. Muscles have characteristics of excitability, contractility, extensibility, and elasticity that allow movement and maintenance of body temperature and posture.
The muscular system has four key characteristics: excitability, contractility, extensibility, and elasticity. These characteristics allow muscles to perform important functions like movement, maintaining posture, supporting soft tissues, and regulating body temperature. There are three main types of muscle in the body: cardiac, smooth, and skeletal. Skeletal muscle is responsible for all body movements and attaches to bones via tendons. It comprises around 30-35% of total body mass in women and 42-47% in men.
Stakeholder mapping involves identifying key stakeholders, analyzing their perspectives and interests, mapping relationships between stakeholders and objectives, and prioritizing engagement. It is a process of researching stakeholder groups to understand their needs and how they relate to a business or project. This helps identify strategies, relationships that need establishing, blockers and facilitators of change, and socioeconomic trends. Stakeholder mapping breaks the process down into identifying relevant stakeholders, analyzing their views and influence, visually mapping relationships, and ranking stakeholders to focus engagement efforts.

Other severe skin conditions and eye infections require medical referral before treatment can proceed. The document emphasizes the importance of recognizing contraindications to prevent harm to clients and advises beauty therapists on procedures to follow if they suspect a client has a contraindication.
This document discusses excess hair growth. It defines terms like hirsutism, which refers to masculine hair growth patterns in women caused by excess androgen levels. Hypertrichosis refers to generalized increased hair growth all over the body. There are three main causes of excess hair growth: congenital (inherited hair growth patterns), topical (stimulation or friction causing increased growth), and systemic (caused by normal or abnormal hormonal changes). Normal systemic causes include puberty, pregnancy, and menopause, while abnormal causes can be endocrine disorders.
Micro-dermabrasion is a mechanical skin treatment that uses an applicator probe to break down skin cells and debris on the skin's surface. There are two main types of micro-dermabrasion systems - one uses aluminum oxide micro-crystals applied to the skin, while the other uses a diamond tipped applicator. Benefits of micro-dermabrasion include softer, more toned skin with reduced fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and pigmentation issues. Precautions must be taken to avoid over-exfoliating the skin, including checking the applicator strength and monitoring the skin's reaction.
This document discusses different types of unwanted or excessive hair growth. It defines hirsutism as excessive male-pattern hair growth in females, usually on the face and body, caused by high androgen levels. It can be treated with electrolysis. Hypertrichosis is defined as a general overgrowth of body hair affecting the entire surface in both sexes, which is not hormone-dependent but due to genetics. In severe cases it is known as "werewolf syndrome" and may not be treatable with electrolysis due to high hair density. The document provides diagrams showing common areas of hair growth for hirsutism.

Sensible precautions include training staff on evacuation procedures, establishing emergency exit routes, fitting smoke alarms, installing fire doors, and having firefighting equipment in specified locations. Candles should be used safely and electrical equipment should be properly maintained to prevent fires.
The lymphatic system is the secondary circulatory system that drains excess tissue fluid and transports it back to the bloodstream. Unlike the circulatory system, the lymphatic system lacks a heart and relies on muscle movement and one-way valves to circulate lymph. It is comprised of lymph fluid, capillaries, vessels, nodes, and ducts that work together to filter bacteria and waste from tissues, transport absorbed fat and proteins, and produce immune cells to fight infection. The document then describes each component of the lymphatic system in more detail.

Introduction
Micro-current has been used within the medical field
to promote skin tissue healing, for many years. It uses
a very low intensity direct current that produces low
frequency pulses of differing waveforms. Recent
research has indicated that small pulses of current
are more effective at improving the condition of the
skin tissues whilst being less uncomfortable for the
client, proving to be an effective combination.
3. Clare Hargreaves-Norris
Frequency of treatment
The treatment takes 30-60 minutes, and to achieve results the client
should receive a course of twelve treatments over a six week period.
The client should have two treatments per week, with at least a one
day break in between the treatments to allow the tissues to relax.
Once the desired result has been achieved, the client should receive a
monthly maintenance treatment.
The client will therefore need to be dedicated and committed to
investing in their appearance.
4. Before and after photographs
Clare Hargreaves-Norris
In order to fully
emphasise the results
achieved, it may be
beneficial to offer a
before and after
photographic service. This
will illustrate to the client
that their money and time
has been well spent.

Anatomy
The treatment works
on the principle that
the body is like a
machine with
electrical impulses
running through it.
These electrical
impulses run through
the skin and muscles,
controlling the
occurrence of
chemical reactions,
which determine the
tone and elasticity in
the skin and muscles.
As the body ages the
impulses grow weaker
so that the chemical
reactions no longer
occur at the same
speed.
6. The current can be applied at any point along the
length of the muscle fibre; however, the current
intensity is insufficient to stimulate the motor
nerve, though depending on the duration and
intensity of the current it can stimulate the fibres
of the muscles directly, causing them to contract.
This contraction will not be visible as it is far
weaker than a contraction produced by stimulating
the motor nerve directly.

7. The current will
improve the
tone, function
and condition of
the muscle,
although not its
strength.
Clare Hargreaves-Norris
8. When applied, the current stimulates the skins
natural regenerative process, cell metabolism
speeds up, allowing substances to pass in and out of
cells more frequently.
Also, the sine wave is an alternating wave used for
stimulating the metabolism and the circulation of
the blood and lymph.
Clare Hargreaves-Norris
9. In addition, the galvanic effects of the current can
produce the effects of the anode and cathode
(discussed during galvanic therapy). One electrode is
positive and the other negative, which causes chemical
reactions to take place underneath the electrodes. It
can also be used to repel ionised preparations into the
skin, therefore introducing specific beneficial
ingredients into the skin (iontophoresis).

12. Small adhesive electrodes - are
small round pads that are linked to
the machine by terminal connections.
They have an adhesive surface that
attaches onto the skin and are placed
at specific points. The therapist does
not have to be constantly present
throughout the treatment application.
Clare Hargreaves-Norris
13. Probes - are a thin metal rod with a paper
cotton bud inserted into the end. They
may be single or double probes, and are
linked to the machine by wire connecting
leads. The probes are used in pairs with
the current flowing from one probe to the
other via the skin tissues. This is the most
popular method of application.
Clare Hargreaves-Norris
14. Gloves - are worn over the therapist’s
hands, and the therapist’s fingers
transmit the current into the skin
tissues. Gloves are particularly effective
at treating larger surface areas.
Clare Hargreaves-Norris
15. The main uses of a micro-current
facial treatment
Softens lines, wrinkles and creases.
Maintains youthful contours.
Improves the condition of an ageing skin.
Reduces areas of puffiness or fluid retention.
Improves muscle condition and function, depending on the
technique used - loose muscles become toned and tight
muscles are stretched.
Improves the appearance of the skin by improving colour
Clare Hargreaves-Norris
and texture.
Softens scar tissue in the area.
Improves the appearance of dark circles and puffiness
around the eyes.
16. Effects produced by the anode and
cathode
Clare Hargreaves-Norris
In addition to the general
effects, you also have the
effects produced at the
anode and the cathode -
these will depend on the
polarity of the active
electrode.
If you do not require the
effects of the anode or
cathode, the current may
be depolarised. This
causes the chemicals
produced during the
forward wave to be
neutralised by the reverse
wave.
17. Clare Hargreaves-Norris
Effects at the anode
Positively charged active electrode (anode) will produce an
acid reaction therefore the following effects occur:
Skin tissue hardens and firms
Blood vessels vasoconstrict, reducing erythema
Decreases the conductivity and excitability of facial nerve
endings
Water in the tissues moves away from the anode
Tightens the pores
Cell metabolism improves due to oxygen being released
Products containing positively charged ions are repelled into
the skin
18. Clare Hargreaves-Norris
Effects at the cathode
Negatively charged active electrode (cathode) will
produce an alkali reaction therefore the following occurs:
Skin tissue softens
Blood vessels vasodilate, increasing erythema
Increases the conductivity and excitability of facial nerve
endings
Water is drawn towards the cathode therefore producing a
temporary hydrating effect
Aids desquamation
Relaxes the pores
Hydrogen is released improving the vitality of the facial
tissues
Products containing negatively charged ions are repelled
into the skin
19. Restrictions to a microcurrent
treatment
Clare Hargreaves-Norris
Malignant tumours or any undiagnosed
lumps
Excessive dental work or bridgework
Migraine sufferers should not be treated
around the eye area or over the forehead
20. General treatment techniques
Even though each manufacturer will produce there own, individual
treatment sequence, there are some techniques which occur
frequently within any routine. You must always refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions first to check the recommended
techniques. On the next slide is a list of general working techniques
Clare Hargreaves-Norris
21. Special techniques
can be used to
tighten the
stretched muscles
which have
lengthened such as
the levator labii,
zygomaticus,
risorius, temporalis,
and platysma.
Special techniques
can be used to
strengthen weaker
muscles such as
orbicularis oris,
orbicularis oculi and
buccinator.
Special techniques
can be implemented
to relax the
tightened muscles
such as the
corrugator,
frontalis, mentalis,
depressor anguli
oris and depressor
labii inferioris.
Clare Hargreaves-Norris
22. Clare Hargreaves-Norris
Special techniques
can be used to tone
the tissues of the
skin, helping to
stimulate collagen
and elastin
production,
therefore assisting
in the plumping of
fine lines.
Techniques can be
implemented to
improve the
appearance of the
skin’s texture and
colour.
Some manufacturers
recommend that the
neck is only treated
from the 7th
treatment because
the neck muscles are
stronger causing
resistance, resulting
in the corners of the
mouth turning
downwards.
23. Applying and adjusting to suit
the individual client’s needs
Clare Hargreaves-Norris
You must decide what the client’s needs are
before selecting the treatment sequence.
Analyse what areas require lifting,
stretching, relaxing, skin texture improving
and skin tone improving.
Next, a decision is made regarding the
electrode choice.
Finally decide on the required machine
settings.
24. Importance of conducting the
treatment in a certain direction
The micro-current treatment is applied in a
certain direction or routine to ensure that both
halves of the face are treated equally. If you did
not perform the treatment correctly, an uneven
result may occur. The direction of the muscle
fibres are also considered during the application
sequence to ensure a beneficial result.
Clare Hargreaves-Norris
25. Effects of the micro-current
treatment on the muscular system
Clare Hargreaves-Norris
Improves synthesis of proteins,
therefore improving the condition of
the muscle tissues.
Stimulates the myofibrils inside the
muscles, which improves muscle
condition and functioning.
Slack muscles can be toned and
shortened.
Tight muscles can be stretched.
Stimulates ATP (adenosine
triphosphate) therefore re-energising
the muscles.
26. Effects of the micro-current
treatment on the skin structures
Helps the healing process, aiding with cell repair.
Speeds up cell metabolism, improving the skin’s
Clare Hargreaves-Norris
appearance.
Improves the colour of the skin due to
vasodilation of the blood vessels.
Scar tissue may be softened.
Ion exchange between cells is improved assisting
with the repair of damaged cells.
Improves the permeability of the cell membrane
which allows easier movement of substances in
and out of the cells.
Stimulates the fibroblasts to produce collagen
and elastin fibres.
Superficial stages constrict the muscles
surrounding the pores, helping to reduce the
pore size.
27. Effects of the micro-current
treatment on the circulatory system
Clare Hargreaves-Norris
Circulation is increased
which brings fresh
oxygen and nutrients
to the area.
Improves the
efficiency of waste
product removal from
the area.
28. Effects of the micro-current
treatment on the lymphatic system
Clare Hargreaves-Norris
Micro-current assists with
the removal of tissue fluids
from the area, thus reducing
water retention and
puffiness.
29. Consider the precautions you should
take when applying a micro-current
Clare Hargreaves-Norris
treatment.
30. Clare Hargreaves-Norris
Precautions
Check all dials are at zero before starting treatment.
Ensure the client has removed jewellery, hearing aids
etc.
Remove all grease from the skin to enable the
treatment to work.
Wet the electrodes and ensure that they remain
moist throughout.
Use the timer to ensure equal time is given to both
halves of the face.
Only use cotton buds which are recommended, these
should be made of paper to conduct the current.
If the cotton buds become soiled, replace with new
buds.
31. Always apply the gel or lotion liberally.
Always use a firm and even pressure.
When working around the eye area, apply a
lighter pressure and do not pass the current
over the eyeball.
Move the probes in a slow gliding action taking
4-6 seconds per stroke.
Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions as
they are specific to each machine.
Always check client comfort throughout the
treatment.
