  What Does DirectHigh frequency Do? Watch the clip below and answer the following questions: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xilXrGo2lfk
• 6.
  •There are differentelectrodes that are suited to both the body and facial treatments •The treatment may be performed Indirectly or Directly •As the machine uses a high Frequency current it can be noisy To use •This treatment may be used On dry & oily skin conditions

  High Frequency Unit
• 8.
  High frequency Unit The unit uses an alternating, oscillating current.  This produces a high frequency current of 100,000 to 250,000 Herts (cycles per second)  The electrode contains an induction coil-this produces a high electrical force  The electrode is a conductor through which electricity enters or leaves.

  •Large facial bulb– used for direct method face & body •Small facial bulb – used for direct method on small areas •Neck electrode – used for direct method on the neck and back areas •Roller electrode – used for direct method on the body, does not spark •Saturator – used for indirect method only
• 11.
  Application Indirect – thecurrent flows through the client's body using the therapist’s hands to perform massage, which conducts the current. The client holds the saturator electrode. Direct – application is directly on the skin using a glass electrode.

  Tasks  Using thelist of effects above state the indications for treatments for both indirect & direct methods
• 16.
  Indications for Use DirectTreatment Improves condition of Oily/ blemished skins Ozone helps destroy bacteria present on the skin Helps to dry out the secretions of seborrhoeic or oily skins
• 17.
  Indication for Use IndirectTreatment Helps improve Poor circulation Improves dry & Dehydrated skins Helps relax the tissues

  Medium – Appropriate & adequate TrailingWires Sanitisation of equipment Use correct size electrode for area Do not spark more than 7 mm away from skin surface Warn client about the noise & smell Always keep the electrode in contact with the skin Test Machine & electrode Remove all metal & jewellery E n Ensure client has talc on their hand before holding the saturator Always keep one hand In contact with the client When turning machine off
• 22.
  Direct Treatment Procedure 1.Cleanse skin and carry out sensitivity tests 2. Insert electrode into holder 3. Set switch to ‘on’ and check intensity is at zero 4. Test machine on yourself in front of your client and reassure her regarding buzzing noise 5. Turn off, apply medium (talc or oxygenating cream) and gauze to client’s face or back area 6. Wipe the electrode with disinfectant 7. Apply the electrode by placing the finger in contact with the electrode before turning the machine on, then turn the intensity dial up. Then place both fingers and electrode in contact with the client’s skin before removing the finger. 8. Continue with circular movements over the skin do not break contact 9. The treatment is between 8-12 minutes depending on skin condition e.g.. Oily skin -10 -12 minutes, Dry skin – 3-5 min 10. Sparking if necessary on pustules & papules ensuring the electrode is no more than 7mm away from the skin 11. Reverse procedure No 7 to remove electrode 12. Remove medium and tone, proceed with massage, mask, tone & moisturise
• 23.
  Safe Working Remove client’sjewellery Check for CI’s Ensure stable trolley Ensure intensity zero Cleanse area Wipe electrode with surgical spirit

  Week 2  Recapskin types & relate to HF (Task)  P24- Describe the effects & benefits of HF (direct) & indirect on underlying structures (Task & You tube clip)  P1 Prepare themselves, client and work area for facial treatment (20 minutes)  P2 use suitable consultation techniques to identify treatment objectives (use of open & closed questions - 5 minutes)  Identify appropriate methods application relating to skin ?type, age or ethnicity & perform both methods of ?frequency  P5 select products, tools and equipment to suit client treatment needs, skin types and condition  Demonstrate a safe & effective treatment (Risk ?assessment task)  P4 provide clear recommendations to the client

  Indirect Treatment Procedure Testmachine and electrodes for any faults 1. Cleanse skin and carry out sensitivity tests 2. Insert saturator into holder 3. Set switch to ‘on’ and check intensity is at zero 4. Test machine on yourself in front of your client 5. Turn off, apply medium to client’s face or back area 6. Apply talc to client’s; wipe saturator with disinfectant and place firmly in holder 7. Place one hand in contact with client’s skin, using small circular movements while the other hand turns the intensity dial slowly up to suit client’s tolerance. 8. Place the other hand on to the skin by sliding over the first hand and begin your usual massage routine. Ensure contact is not broken e.g.. No tapotement movements
• 26.
  Indirect Treatment Procedure 9.Check client comfort and sensation throughout massage 10. Treatment duration is between 8 & 12 minutes depending on skin reaction 11. At the end of the treatment take one hand off, reducing current intensity on dial and turning the machine off, before removing other hand. 12. Remove massage medium and continue with facial, tone, mask and moisturise.
