1 / CIDESCO PRACTICAL EXAMINATION Questions and Answers 2023 1.What is an enzyme ANS A biological catalyst that speeds up chemical reactions; the chemical reaction we want is the break-down of keratin
2.How long do you leave on an enzyme ANS 15 minutes [it takes that long for the chemical reaction to occur]
3.Why don't you use ozone on the steamer with an enzyme on the skin ANS -
Ozone would deactivate the enzyme
4.What type of currant is Galvanic Iontophoresis ANS A constant direct current
5.What does Iontophoresis current do to the skin ANS It forces electrically charged particles deeper into the skin
6.What type of product do you use to force the product into the skin for Iontophoresis ANS It needs to be water based to conduct 2 / electricity
7.Iontophoresis- what polarity do you use to force the product into the skin?-
: Negative electrode on the face first to penetrate negatively charged ingredients; then I'll change polarity to positive to penetrate the positively charged ingredients
8.Why do you apply the negative electrode first in Iontophoresis ANS 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
9.How does the client benefit from Iontophoresis ANS 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.
10.What are contraindications for Iontophoresis ANS Epilepsy Metal plates and pins
Pacemaker/ 3 / defibrillator Heart insufficiencies Pregnancy
Infectio
ns Fever
Cancer
Open wounds and sores Loss of neural sensitivity
11.What are safety precautions for Iontophoresis ANS No metal parts of the electrodes may touch the skin
There needs to be plenty of moisture at both electrodes
Electrodes need to be evenly covered with cotton or tissue, or have a banana-peel
