2. Used for
• Direct application
• Indirect application
Description
• Alternating, oscillating, high
frequency, higher in voltage with
lower amps. Alternates rapidly at
more than 50 times per second.
• Produces a frequency of
100,000-250,000 Hertz.
Keywords
• Alternating current – or AC, the
electrical current is alternating
directions in a repetitive pattern
• Oscillating – a current alternating
in direction
• Frequency – the amount of times
the AC makes a circuit per
second
• Voltage – The pressure required
to drive the electricity around the
circuit
• Amps – the flow of electrons in a
circuit per second

4. The current flows
through the clients body
using the therapists
hands to perform
massage which
conducts the current.
The client holds the
saturator electrode to
complete the circuit.
Used for DRY skin

5. Application is directly
onto the skin using a
glass electrode
A drying germicidal
treatment, ideal for a
seborrhoeic skin, one
that is congested and
oily.

Sinus blockages
Heart conditions
Epilepsy or diabetes*

* Only to be carried out with medical approval

7. Warms and relaxes the tissue
Increases the circulation
Calms the sensory nerve endings
Improves the moisture balance of the skin
Increases metabolism

8. Improves tired skin
Improves dry or dehydrated skin
Improves fine lines
Helps relax the tissues
Helps improve poor circulation

9. Be careful around the hairline – hair is a good
conductor
Contact must not be broken
Rings must not be worn by the client holding the
saturator
Do not touch any metal throughout the
treatment
Intensity will be increased if one hand is lifted
off
ALL facial jewellery on client to be removed

10. Helps heal a problem scalp
Helps destroy any bacteria present through
the creation of ozone
Helps dry out the secretions of oily skin
Improves the condition of oil areas

11. Increases cellular activity
Improves the skin texture
Improves the moisture balance of the skin
Helps healing after comedone extraction
Calms the sensory nerve endings
Oxygen intake to the skin is increased when
oxygenating cream is used
Can be used on the scalp for dandruff
Produces ozone which has an anti-bacterial
effect

12. Use gauze to hold the product in place
Always use eye pads
Cut out a nose hole
Keep the glass electrode to the skin, any
break in contact can cause sparking
Always follow manufacturers instructions
