UNIT 307Lesson 1

28.1.15

LEARNING OBJECTIVESBy the end of the lesson today you will be able to …….1. Identify the practical requirements of the

unit2. Compare benefits of direct and indirect high

frequency treatments3. State the electrical current used for high

frequency treatments4. Describe contra-indications to treatment5. Prepare effective treatment plans justifying

your choice6. Demonstrate a professional back treatment

adhering to health and safety guidelines

UNIT REQUIREMENTSFormative Assessments High Frequency Mechanical massager Galvanic EMS Micro-current Vacuum SuctionCovered within a minimum of 4 treatmentsSummative Assessments High frequency Galvanic Micro-current or EMS Vacuum suction

UNIT REQUIREMENTS Every assessment has to include a treatment

plan that includes; Postural checks, figure faults, body types, muscle

tone, fat type, skin condition and characteristics How techniques were selected and adapted to

suit the area of body and clients physical characteristics

Contra actions which may occur and how you would deal with these

NO PROMPTS FOR ANY ASSESSMENTS PRE WRITTEN ONTO CONSULTATION FORMS, 1 LIFELINE IN THE GROUP – CHOOSE WISELY, SUMMATIVES IN 141 AS USUAL

ACTIVITY; YOU HAVE 10 MINUTES

TASK 1 In your groups research the benefits of

your given treatment TASK 2 specify which client concerns your

treatment would help Design a treatment plan incorporating

your piece of equipment

Direct High Frequency

Warms the skin tissues

Increases blood erythema

Increases lymphatic flow – waste products absorbed

Increases metabolism to area

Stimulates nerve endings

Gives a germicidal effect on skins surface

USES OF DIRECT HIGH FREQUENCY1. Mild acne on back2. Oily skin

Indirect high frequency

Increases activity of sebaceous and sudoriferous glands

Improves blood circulation, nourishing skin

Improves lymphatic flow - waste

Relaxes muscle fibres

1. Treatment of dry and dehydrated skin

2. Improves appearance of skin

3. Induces muscle relaxation

ELECTRICAL CURRENT FOR HIGH FREQUENCY

Moves backwards and forwards at a very high speed

Termed as alternating or oscillating The rapid backwards and forwards movement

creates high frequency vibrations over the skins surface

CONTRA-INDICATIONS TO TREATMENT1. Skin inflammation2. Skin disorder or disease3. Excessive dental metalwork4. Hypersensitive skin5. Acne rosacea6. Oedema7. Migraine sufferers8. Lack of tactile sensation9. Severe headaches10. Nervous client11. Heart condition12. Recent injectable cosmetic services13. Facial body piercings

TREATMENT PROCEDURE

Direct High Frequency Indirect high frequency

1. Cleanse back area with warm towels and dermalogica

2. Apply body exfoliation and remove with warm towels

3. Complete a pre manual massage for 10 mins

4. Apply appropriate product and use direct high frequency for 10 – 15 minutes

5. Apply body mask6. Remove and moisturise

1. Cleanse back area2. Apply body

exfoliation3. Massage using

indirect high frequency

4. Apply nourishing body mask

5. Remove and moisturise

HOMEWORK Revise theory related to high frequency
