Electrotherapy is by nomeans a new science and has been used formany years, in particular by doctors and physiotherapists, to stimulatemuscles and nerves for therapeutic purposes. In terms of aesthetic treatments, thismethod can be employed by beauty
therapists to firm, tone and strengthen muscles in the body, stimulating blood circulation and increasing lymphatic drainage to help aid weight loss, improve the contours and reduce cellulite.
A variety of electrical body therapy equipment is now available utilising such technology as Galvanic Current, Radio Frequency, Ultrasound andMicrocurrent. Thanks to continued investment in Research and Development, cosmetic Electrotherapy machines offer therapists the ability to performsafe, quick and effective alternatives to invasive surgery procedures all within the comfort of familiar salon surroundings. “With a wide range of non- surgical treatments available, is there a need to undergo invasive procedures when non- surgical treatments have proved to be so effective?” commentsTracey Jones of Silhouette Dermalift.
Great for targeting those stubborn areas such as the arms, stomach and thighs, patients can experience an intensive and deeply boosting treatment to complement their own dietary and workout efforts away fromthe treatment room. Furthermore, a major benefit for clients is that relatively minimal or no post-procedure downtime ensures they can continue on with their busy schedules without the fear of anymajor life disruption often associated with invasive surgery.
Yet before you embark on your new product purchase, it’s crucial to remember that when considering adding any formof Electrotherapy procedure to your salon’s treatmentmenu that themember of staff implementing the treatmentmust have undertaken the appropriate, professional training. Being fully equipped with both the theoretical and practical implications of the differentmethods ensures the safe, comfortable and effective delivery of treatments.
As with all beauty treatments, a full consultation prior to administration should always be undertaken. Here you can understand andmanage the client’s end
expectations.Althoughmany patients report noticeable results after just one session, most companies will always recommend a full course formaximumeffects. Additionally, it also allows you to address any possible issues thatmay affect the procedure. “Electrical body treatmentsmay be used onmost skin types, except hyper- sensitive skin,” saysAngela. “Contraindications include epilepsy,metal in the area, diabetes, pregnancy, heart
conditions, very high blood pressure and pacemakers, skin diseases and infections, as well as direct use over recent scars, bruises, oedema, varicose veins, cuts or abrasions. The kidney area, breasts and sciatic nerve as well as any bony areas, should never be treated. Current should never be passed through internal organs or through bone.”

For an alternative to liposuction, the LipofirmPlus fromAdvanced Esthetics Solutions, is amarriage between Evlaser’s TwinTrend Radio Frequency and Slimcav Ultrasound, creating a versatile platformof Cavitation Ultrasound and Bipolar, Monopolar Radio Frequency. Ultrasonic waves instantly destroy fat cells providing clients with a convenient non-invasive, no downtime solution to reduce localised fat deposits, body circumference and skin tightening.
The LipofirmPlus hand-piece is placed on the skin precisely on the area that is to be
treated.Themachine works with ultrasounds that formbubbles in the tissues where the fat cells are
located.The bubbles expand and are immediately compressed
afterwards.The temperature increases due to sudden variation in pressure and the bubbles
implode.This implosion damages the fat cellsmembrane, reducing the localised adiposity, the contents of the fat cell (tryglycerides) spill out fromthe broken cell membrane where they are transported through the body’s naturalmetabolic functions.
This systemworks with four different operativemodes which can be adjusted according to the imperfection to be treated. According toAdvanced Esthetics Solutions, this is the only cavitation device in the aestheticmarket that utilises the ‘adaptive’ mode, an emissionmode that automatically adjusts frequency emission relative to the tissue characteristics, boosting the efficiency of the treatment.
Radio Frequency enables skin tightening and improvement of the skin's appearance painlessly without post-op
downtime.The electrical pulses heat the dermis (the deepest
