LEARNING OUTCOMES

The aim of the course is to teach students:
1. The types and categories of the electrotherapeutic modalities.
2. The electrophysiology of electrotherapeutic modalities and their effect on tissues (skin, adipose, muscle).
3. The indications and contraindications of each electrotherapy device.
4. Their application in Aesthetics for the restoration of aesthetic problems

 

After the end of the course students will be able to:
1. use effectively and safely the Electrotherapeutic methods used in Aesthetics.
2. choose the appropriate electrotherapy methods depending on each case.
3. properly combine the above methods, creating recovery schemes on a case-by-case basis, according to the indications and contraindications of eachelectrotherapy device.
4. make protocols for application of electrotherapy such as pulsed, alternating current.
5. make protocols for the application of low frequency currents (microwaves, electrolifting, electrolipolysis. medium frequency alternating currents (MFACs)).
6. make protocols for the application of TENS currents Diadynamic current (DD) and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS).
7. make protocols for the application of therapeutic Ultrasound, Magnetic – Electromagnetic fields and Thermotherapy, Diathermy.
8. create protocols for the application of Pressotherapy.
9. create protocols for the application of Photoanaplasis IPL .
10. create protocols for the application of Cryotherapy.
11. create protocols for the application of Radiofrequency.
12. create protocols for the application of Cavitation and Needling Cavitation ad Μicroneedling.
13. create protocols for the application of Electrothermal therapy.
14. create protocols for the application of Oxygen therapy.
