Enzymes, Chemical Peels, Circadia Cocoa Enzyme Lactic Acid Treatment
Clients with a history of cold sores should see a physician for prophylactic treatment, because untreated cold sores can lead to complications during skin treatments.
True
CIRCADIA Gel Based Peels require neutralizing after treatment.
True
Enzymes are carbohydrates that enhance skin hydration and are not included in the powder base.
False
Glycolic acid does not need to be neutralized.
False
Neutralizing the acid on the surface of the skin (as we see in the video) is optional for gel-based peels, whereas failing to do so can lead to reduced activity of the peel on the skin.
False
The use of gel-based peels, which sit on the surface of the skin, leads to a higher sensation of discomfort compared to ethanol-based peels that penetrate deeply into the skin.
False
The treatment (as we also see in the video) involves multiple neutralizing sprays to ensure the acid is neutralized before removal.
True
In the video we learn that the purpose of using polyethylene glycol base in skin treatments is that it consists of relatively inert materials that sit on the surface of the skin. This allows the product to break down the protein layer by layer without penetrating deeply into the skin, making it suitable for leave-on cosmetics. Additionally, it provides a gentler application compared to ethanol-based products, minimizing discomfort for the client.
True
In the video it is mentioned that the Lipid Replacing Cleansing Gel is designed to solubilize mineral makeups and has anti-aging benefits due to its enzyme modulating peptides.
False
The benefits of lactic acid mentioned in the video are that lactic acid helps to stimulate natural moisturizing factors in the skin, functions as a skin lightener, and acts as a tyrosinase inhibitor.
True
A client with oily, acne-prone skin wants to improve their skin texture and reduce acne. Which type of exfoliation would be most effective, and why?
Beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) would be most effective because they are oil-soluble and can penetrate through follicles and sebaceous glands to dissolve follicular impactions.
