CIDESCO Practical Examination
Questions 2025 Newest Exam
What is an enzyme? - ✔✔✔ANSWER-A biological catalyst that speeds up
chemical reactions; the chemical reaction we want is the break-down of keratin
How long do you leave on an enzyme? - ✔✔✔ANSWER-15 minutes [it takes that
long for the chemical reaction to occur]
Why don't you use ozone on the steamer with an enzyme on the skin? -
✔✔✔ANSWER-Ozone would deactivate the enzyme
,What type of currant is Galvanic Iontophoresis? - ✔✔✔ANSWER-A constant
direct current
What does Iontophoresis current do to the skin? - ✔✔✔ANSWER-It forces
electrically charged particles deeper into the skin
What type of product do you use to force the product into the skin for
Iontophoresis? - ✔✔✔ANSWER-It needs to be water based to conduct electricity
Iontophoresis- what polarity do you use to force the product into the skin? -
✔✔✔ANSWER-Negative electrode on the face first to penetrate negatively
charged ingredients; then I'll change polarity to positive to penetrate the positively
charged ingredients
Why do you apply the negative electrode first in Iontophoresis? - ✔✔✔ANSWER-
Because the negative electrode also creates an alkalinity on the skin. With the
, positive electrode I not only penetrate positive particles but put the skin back to its
slightly acidic pH
How does the client benefit from Iontophoresis? - ✔✔✔ANSWER-The ingredients
will arrive deeper in the skin where cells can metabolize the. Additionally, moisture
will enter the skin through electro-osmosis. The skin will be moist and plump and
the conditions will be addressed at their source.
What are contraindications for Iontophoresis? - ✔✔✔ANSWER-Epilepsy
Metal plates and pins
Pacemaker/defibrillator
Heart insufficiencies
Pregnancy
Infections
Fever
Cancer
Open wounds and sores
