IBEC STUDY GUIDE
A thin needle is hotter and it creates a larger and hotter heating pattern than a larger
diameter needle at the same current settings. - ANS-True
\Acanthosis nigricans is a hyperpigmentation of the skin, usually found in skin folds, such as
the neck, axillae and groin area. This condition is associated with: - ANS-diabetes , obesity,
and PCOS
\According to section 6 onto the standards of professional ethics,of the standards of practice
for electrologists, what is required for all electrologists? - ANS-Participation in appropriate
continuing education activities 20 hours every two years
\An abnormal excess of vellus type hair, which may be darker than usual , is called? -
ANS-Hypertrichosis
\Before beginning treatment, should the skin be? - ANS-Cleansed with soap and water, then
wiped with an antiseptic
\Blanching is caused by: - ANS-Large needles
\Dimpling is the result of: - ANS-Improper insertion
\Erythema is a result of ? - ANS-Vasodilation
\Hardening or thickening of the skin is called? - ANS-Scleroderma
\Hepatitis B is a virus that can live outside the body for: - ANS-7 days
\High frequency current is produced by: - ANS-An oscillator
\Hirsutism resulting from taking certain medications is called ? - ANS-Latric hirsutism
\Hirsutism that has no identifiable cause is called: - ANS-Idiopathic hirsutism
\How full should the sharps container be when you dispose of it ? - ANS-3/4 full
\How long does the HBV vaccine stay effective ? - ANS-15 years
\How often do you need to empty your liquid soap container? - ANS-Once a month
\If a client complains of pain during treatment, you should do? - ANS-Decrease the intensity
of the current and then increase the timing while also using vocal Anesthesia
\If a client is a diabetic what is the best area to treat? - ANS-Face
\If an electrologist uses only .002 needle using thermolysis modality what could happen? -
ANS-The treatment will be less comfortable for the client , there will be a bigger risk of
overtreatment, and a high frequency blow out can occur
\If the skin dimples when doing insertions you should: - ANS-Re-insert
\If your client has hirsutism what body areas will have excessive hair ? - ANS-Face only
\In goal manic electrolysis, what is the reason for the indifferent electrode to be bigger than
the needle? - ANS-To minimize the effect of chemical compound deposited
\In high frequency, what makes the frequency go forth? - ANS-Transformer
\In the blend modality, how does high frequency current effect the lye created by the galvanic
current ? - ANS-The quantity of lye is only 3/4 of lye needed , HF heats the lye making it
more effective, and tissue coagulation by HF becomes porous so lye can spread throughout
the tissue
\In the thermolysis modality, heat is greatest: - ANS-At the needle's tip due to point effect
and in the moist area, therefore the lower portion of the follicle
\In thermolysis the ideal heating pattern is ? - ANS-Pear shaped
\In which of the following layers of the skin are mast cells found? - ANS-Dermis
\Medicine that influences hair growth is? - ANS-Birth control, minoxidil, dilantin
