Chemistry & ElectricityPregunta 88 de 100
A client booked for microcurrent mentions that she has a cardiac pacemaker. What should the esthetician do?
a.Decline the microcurrent service and offer a non-electrical alternative such as a manual facial
b.Perform the service at the lowest intensity setting
c.Perform the service but avoid the neck only
d.Perform the service after asking the client to sign a waiver
Explicación
Electrical modalities including microcurrent, galvanic, and high frequency are contraindicated for clients with a pacemaker or implanted electrical device because of the potential to interfere with it; the safe choice is a non-electrical service. Lowering the intensity, limiting the area, or obtaining a waiver does not eliminate an absolute medical contraindication. Other common contraindications include pregnancy, epilepsy, and active cancer without physician clearance.
