Introduction to Body Electrical Treatments

Body electrical treatments use a variety of machines to stimulate muscles and blood flow, promoting skin health and physical fitness.
These treatments offer a non-invasive alternative to surgical interventions for beauty enhancement and body toning.

Preparing for Body Electrical Treatments

Thoroughly clean and prepare the treatment area, ensuring a hygienic workspace.
Set up treatment machinery properly, according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Prepare electrical equipment by checking for any faults and ensuring it’s functioning properly.
Conduct an in-depth client consultation, covering areas such as medical history and treatment expectancy.
Analyse the client’s skin type and condition to choose the appropriate treatment.

Providing Body Electrical Treatments

Apply treatment gels or creams appropriately, aiding conductivity and protecting the client’s skin.
Use electrical treatment machinery like microcurrent, galvanic or high-frequency systems according to the client needs.
Monitor client comfort and treatment effectiveness throughout the session.
Maintain professional and effective communication with the client throughout the process.
Ensure the treatment is completed in a timely and organised manner.
Provide aftercare advice to clients to prolong the benefits of the treatment.

Health and Safety Considerations

Adequate training and understanding of electrical treatment machinery is crucial to avoid accidents and injuries.
Always wear protective clothing, including gloves, when providing treatments.
Strictly adhere to the treatment contraindications, such as not treating individuals with metal implants or cardiac conditions.
Set up and use the machinery in a manner consistent with the Health and Safety at Work Act.
Adopt strategies to minimise waste and maintain environmental sustainability in the salon setting.
