Cosmetology and Beauty Therapy

Galvanic current should not be used on skin with broken capillaries or rosacea, as the current can aggravate these conditions. The other options are either incorrect or standard procedure.

Desincrustation is the process of softening and emulsifying hardened sebum and debris in the hair follicles, often used to prepare the skin for extractions.

Electrotherapy is the use of electrical devices for therapeutic treatments of the skin. Electronics refers to the study or technology of circuits, not the treatment itself.

Linkage describes genes that are located near each other on the same chromosome and tend to be inherited together. Red hair and freckles are classic examples of traits that are genetically linked.

LASER technology is used in esthetics for various procedures, including hair removal, tattoo removal, and treating vascular lesions. UVB and UVA rays are types of ultraviolet light, and Telsa HF refers to high-frequency treatments.

Galvanic current is a standard modality in esthetics used for iontophoresis and desincrustation. Anode, cathode, and electrode are terms related to the components of these devices rather than the modalities themselves.

LED treatments are used for skin rejuvenation, acne reduction, and circulation, but they cannot shrink or treat melanoma, which requires medical intervention.

A partial thickness wound involves only the epidermis and the upper layer of the dermis. These wounds typically heal by epithelialization rather than deep tissue regeneration.

A hypertrophic scar is characterized by excessive collagen deposition that remains within the boundaries of the original wound, often appearing raised and red.

Atrophic scars are small, flat, depressed scars common in acne and chickenpox. Hypertrophic scars are raised above skin level. Keloids extend beyond original wound. Contusion is a bruise, not a scar type.

A keloid scar is a type of excessive scar tissue that grows beyond the original boundaries of the wound. It is caused by an overproduction of collagen.

The remodeling phase (or maturation phase) is the final stage of wound healing, where collagen fibers are reorganized and the tissue gains strength.

A full thickness wound extends through the epidermis and dermis, often reaching subcutaneous tissue. These wounds require significant tissue repair, which leads to slower healing and a higher likelihood of scarring.

Wound healing is the biological process by which the body restores the integrity of damaged tissue. It involves a complex sequence of events including inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling.
