Description: The world of cosmetics and beauty treatments has come a long way since the days of secret formulae and extravagant, unsubstantiated claims. It is now a highly scientific industry anxious to provide safe and effective products and services for its customers. There is an increasing desire, both in beauty practitioners and their customers, to know more about beauty equipment and the effects of its use. This is reflected in beauty therapy education, and Science is now an important component of all beauty therapy syllabuses. This book explores much further than the basic requirements of these syllabuses and forms the ideal starting point for assignment and project work. It will serve as a valuable reference book throughout their working lives. This second edition has been thoroughly revised and updated to embrace recent developments and legislation regarding the use of machines and equipment in the salon.
-- Fully illustrated, the theoretical and practical aspects of the machines and equipment used in the salon are explained.
-- The physical, physiological and often psychological effects of their use are dealt with.
-- Safety and good working procedures are stressed throughout.
-- The chapters on electronic muscle stimulation and epilation have been extensively rewritten to include recent developments in these treatments.
