CLIENT’S GENERAL STATE
During and before any ionisation treatment, the beautician must enquire on
the client’s general state and refrain from performing any type of treatment
unless otherwise specified by a medical prescription in the following cases.
For pregnant women, even recently. With women in the postpartum period,
and before regularised menstruations. In people that suffer skin diseases of an
irritating nature especially if these affections are located in the areas where the
electrodes must be applied (special attention must be paid to people who,
although they are healthy, have been exposed to artificial sun, UVA.)
We must also bear in mind that ionisation cannot be performed on those
persons who suffer cardiovascular affections, nor in the area of the thorax,
where they are completely forbidden.
Ionisation cannot be performed on people suffering or having suffered from
hepatitis, diabetic, women with internal or external scars, and with regards
to the breasts, ionisation is totally contraindicated on women with any type of
mammary pathology.
Speaking of breast, ionisation is also forbidden when the product to ionise is
of estrogenic type, in women under 20 or in post-menopausal women.
Preparation of the client
Besides the usual contraindications, the sensitivity of the area to treat must be
observed. It is essential that the client be capable of responding to the
sensation experienced during the treatment. This means that the treatment
must not be carried out in any area in which there is a lack of sensitivity, that
is, an anaesthetised area.
The treatment area must be inspected to discover signs of cuts, scratches or
injuries. The damaged epidermis could have a greater water content, and
therefore, be more conductive than the skin that surrounds it. That could
cause an excessively high current channelled through the affected area. These
injuries will have to be isolated by means of a covering of soft paraffin or
petroleum jelly.
As a preparation to galvanisation of the organism, the areas of the body where
the electrodes or plates are going to be applied must be carefully washed and
dried. This is performed in order to remove the sebum and to level any
variation of the resistance of the skin. This procedure must also be followed
when the indifferent electrode is applied.
