Why should estheticians study and have a thorough understanding of anatomy & physiology ?

-Estheticians need to understand how the human body functions as an integrated whole. Body systems are interdependent on each other and if one system is not functioning optimally, it affects the entire body and can be evident on the skin. -As a service provider, you must be able to recognize skin changes from earlier visits, and you may need to change a treatment plan or refer the client to a medical provider for evaluation. -Estheticians must understand the effect that services will have on tis-sues, organs, and body systems. -Recommendations for treatment plans and protocols for a client are based on the decisions made during a skin analysis and consultation and review of the client intake form. -Understanding the complexity of the human body and how body systems are interrelated will help you take the information into consideration when advising a treatment plan, recommending skin care products, or performing a service.

-Give shape and support to the body -Protect various internal structures and organs - Serve as attachments for muscles and act as levers to produce body movement -Help produce both white and red blood cells (one of the functions of bone marrow) -Store most of the body's calcium supply as well as phosphorus, magnesium, and sodium.

What are the cells of all living things composed of ?

-Protoplasm

What does the web give the bone? What does fiber give the bone?

-The web gives the bone strength -the fibers give the bone flexibility.

206

Why is the digestive system important to an esthetician?

A thorough knowledge of the processes of the digestive system helps the esthetician perform better be-cause what we eat affects the condition of the skin. An unbalanced diet leaves cells without the nutrients they need to function well. For example, the thyroid gland requires a dietary intake of iodine to function properly. Our bodies do not make iodine and rely on a diet with iodine-rich foods.

How Is This Important to an esthetician?

An esthetician will need familiarity with muscles for a number of reasons. Esthetic massage involves manipulating the muscles of the face, neck, shoulders, arms, and hands. Many treatments using electrical modalities involve an understand-ing of the muscle's movements in order to achieve the desired result.

How Is the circulatory system important to esthetician?

The circulatory system and the role it plays in nourishing and oxygenating the cells is important to the esthetician's ability to interpret skin reactions to treatments. Im-paired circulatory function can create a sallowness in the skin, as the tissue is not being oxygenated. Impaired circulatory function can also delay healing times. Recognizing the fragility of couperose skin (redness; distended capillaries from weakening of the capillary walls) and revising a treatment plan to benefit the client is a skill that comes from a knowledge of the circulatory system. Impaired circulatory conditions are often a contraindication to treatment.

Why is the endocrine system important to an esthetician ?

The esthetician's treatment plan can be great-ly impacted by the functioning of the client's endocrine system. Hormonal imbalances can cause hair growth, affect oil production, and increase acne breakouts, melanin production, and skin sensitivity. Uncontrolled diabe-tes, which is a disease influenced by the production of insulin, affects the nerves, vision, and immune system to name a few. A person with diabetes may have neuropathy and sensation loss in the extremities, for example. If you were to do a paraffin wax treatment and the wax was too hot, the cli-ent with diabetes may be unable to sense the burn and alert you.

Why is the reproductive system important to an esthetician?

The hormonal changes that occur with the reproductive system affect the skin in many ways. Understand-ing that you cannot cure acne because of the hormonal changes of puberty or perimenopause will help you create skin care options that will help your clients treat the symptoms. Loss of collagen and elastin related to hormonal changes with aging, assisting your client with hair removal options due to fluctuations in hormones, or spending time treating your client's melasma will be rewarding because you have a solid understanding of the cycles of the repro-ductive system.
