Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit describes the performance outcome, skills and knowledge required to plan and safely use electric currents to treated dilated capillaries. It requires the ability to establish priorities with clients, synthesise knowledge of skin biology and electric currents to design and provide treatments to reduce the appearance of dilated capillary blood vessels on the face and upper chest. The diathermy treatment can be an individual service or form part of a series of services. This unit applies to beauty therapists who work in beauty salons. In this environment they exercise judgement in selecting and providing an appropriate treatment; demonstrate maturity and confidentiality in their client interactions; and apply knowledge of a range of facial treatments. No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. | ||
