Title : Physical therapy modalities and its effect in cosmetology clients treatment
Abstract:
The use of devices in skin treatment in cosmetology and body shaping has explicitly grown in line with the progress of the application of physical procedures with software programs. The principles of operation of these devices are primarily their biophysical effect on the human organism. Material and method: The physiatrist and dermatologist, the physiotherapist and the cosmetologist should have education about the physical effects on the organism, the biological effect, the indications and the side effects that could occur. In addition to the application, they should also know the selection of clients, so that the client is not harmed. The physical modalities light, heat, cold, vocation, ultrasound, electrostimulation, ozone therapy, cryolipolysis, shock wave therapy as well as radiofrequency therapy are part of the therapies that are used. Results: The application of clients should go through the process of approval for use and safety at work for the therapist and the client. The therapist should be a medical professional who has a certificate and competences for application according to the level of education, unlike students without medical education. Discussion: Cosmetology today has great importance in anti-aging treatments for the skin, but also in body shaping treatments. In every modern country, the application is carried out by medical personnel, who know the mechanism of action, indications and contraindications for treatment.
