Across
- 3. Distance between successive peaks of electromagnetic waves
- 6. Light at either end of the visible spectrum of light that is invisible to the naked eye
- 11. Process of infusing water-soluble products into the skin with the use of electric current, such as the use of the positive and negative poles of a galvanic current
- 12. Flow of electricity along a conductor
- 15. Positive electrode of an electrotherapy device; the anode is usually red and is marked with a P or a plus sign
- 17. Negative electrode of an electrotherapy device; the cathode is usually black and is marked with an N or a minus sign
- 19. The part of the electromagnetic spectrum that can be seen; makes up only 35 percent of natural sunlight
- 20. Abbreviated as V; unit that measures the pressure or force that pushes electric current through a conductor
- 23. Switch that automatically interrupts or shuts off an electric circuit at the first indication of overload
- 25. The path of negative and positive electric currents moving from the generating source through the conductors and back to the generating source
- 27. Process of fusing an acidic (positive) product into deeper tissues using galvanic current from the positive pole toward the negative pole
- 29. A form of anaphoresis; process used to soften and emulsify grease deposits (oil) and blackheads in the hair follicles
- 30. Invisible light with longer wavelengths, deeper penetration, less energy, and more heat production than visible light; it makes up to 60 percent of natural sunlight
- 32. Abbreviated as W; unit that measures how much electric energy is being used in one second
- 34. Also known as an insulator; a material that does not transmit electricity
- 36. Completes an electric circuit and carries the current safely away
- 37. Abbreviated AC; rapid and interrupted current, flowing first in one direction and then in the opposite direction; produced by mechanical means and changes 60 times per second
- 38. Prevents excessive current from passing through a circuit
- 39. Abbreviated as A; unit that measures the strength of an electric current
- 40. Process of infusing an alkaline (negative) product into the tissues from the negative pole toward the positive pole
Down
- 1. Positive or negative poles of an electric current
- 2. Opposite pole from the active electrode
- 4. The movement of electrons from one atom to another
- 5. Abbreviated as kw; 1,000 watts
- 7. Protects from electrical shock by interrupting a household circuit when there is a leak in the circuit
- 8. Abbreviated as O; unit that measures the resistance of an electric current
- 9. Use of electrical currents to treat the skin
- 10. Abbreviated as UV and is also known as cold light or actinic light; invisible light that has a short wavelength (giving it higher energy), is less penetrating than visible light, causes chemical reactions to happen more quickly than visible light, produces less hear than visible light, and kills germs
- 13. Also known as probe; applicator for directing electric current from an electrotherapy device to the client's skin
- 14. Measurement of the distance between two wavelengths
- 16. Electrode of an electrotherapy device that is used on the area to be treated
- 18. An extremely low level of electricity that mirrors the body's natural electrical impulses
- 21. Constant and direct current, having a positive and negative pole, that produces chemical changes when it passes through the tissues and fluids of the body
- 22. Abbreviated DC; constant, even-flowing current that travels in one direction and only is produced by chemical means
- 24. Apparatus that changes alternating current to direct current
- 26. Apparatus that changes direct current to alternating current
- 28. Also known as phototherapy; the application of light rays to the skin for the treatment of wrinkles, capillaries, pigmentation, or hair removal
- 31. Currents used in electrical facial and scalp treatments
- 33. Any material that conducts electricity
- 35. Substances that speed up chemical reactions
