The blend or dual action method
does the job of permanent hair removal
by combining _?
High frequency and galvanic current
In the blended current method,
the chemical action is accelerated by _?
Heat
By combining the heat of HF with Galvanic,
how much lye will be needed ?
1/2 to 1/4 the amount of galvanic lye needed for electrolysis alone
When working on the body,
the electrologist can do what v. when working on the face?
Use more intense high frequency
What area of the body is most susceptible to pitted scarring?
Face
An important factor in the use of the blend is - ?
Balanced (proportional) relationship between the two currents and timing
When removing very deep, coarse, terminal hairs with the blend you need
approximately how many units of lye?
80
The blend requires the use of both poles to do what?
Complete the circuit. No galvanic current flows without a passive electrode to close the
circuit.
The blend method is also called - ?
Dual action
The blend method is accredited to - ?
Arthur Hinkel and Henri St. Pierre
In the blended current method, the currents are superimposed so that -
, Both galvanic and high frequency are available at the needle separately or together (
sequential or super imposed)
What is located near the middle of the anagen follicle and is an intersection of nerves?
Nerve plexus
The pattern of destruction when performing the blend should be what shape?
Tear-drop or "pear" Shaped
The technique in which we test the progress of hair destruction by lifting the hair with
our free hand, then letting it pull back and relax while continuing to apply current until
the hair releases easily is called_?
Progressive Epilation
In progressive epilation it is necessary to hold forceps and probeholder in _
Separate hands
What is the relationship between the time galvanic current is applied and the amount of
lye that is created
Each 1/10 of 1 milliampere of current produces one unit of lye per second
With continuous stimulation, it is known that nerve impulses in a neuron will lessen with
time even though the intensity remains the same, this is called - ?
Synapse fatigue
The electrologist tries to find the combination of intensity and timing that provides easy
release of hairs while still below the client's pain threshold. This is called -
The Working Point
The blood vessels that bring nutrients
and oxygen to tissue are called - ?
Capillaries
The first blend epilator was patented in what year - ?
1948
When using galvanic current with a standard cylindrical probe, the pattern of destruction
is most characteristic of - ?
Column (the shape of the needle)
When using high frequency current with manual timing and a standard cylindrical probe,
the heating pattern is - ?
