1. As a general rule, pleasant sensation of deep heat (not comparable
to other external systems of thermoheating like an electric blanket,
a sauna or a hot bath). The treatment is not better for maintaining
high thresholds of thermal perception, for which it must always
be kept in the threshold of perceivable and pleasant sensation.
2. Sometimes, if the plates press more over some points of the
skin than others on the skin, the client can feel an intense thermal
sensation in those points. This incorrect application of the plates
must be corrected applying a more homogenous pressure across the
elastic straps, or substituting the regular covers for the covers
of thermal gels.
3. It is also possible for the client to feel a sparkling sensation.
That is produced with the round plate for the effect of antenna
that the hairs exert over the current. This is solved applying more
contact gel that improves the conductability of the skin with respect
to the hair. With the active plate, on the other hand, this sensation
of little electrical pinches can be produced when the contact product
between the skin and the cover of the plate (normally, gel or cream)
is badly distributed over the surface of the applier. The current
is concentrated in the points of greater conductability and can
create from this sensation small pinches to a burn. For this reason
it is important to make sure that the cosmetological product is
correctly penetrated in the skin or that it is homogeneously distributed
by the interior surface of the plate.
4. The client can feel more thermal sensation in the passive plate
than in the active. This fact has no aesthetic transcendence, for
which you must only regulate the power so that the tissues situated
immediately below the active plate keep irrigating each time more
blood and this sensation is eventually presented. It can be produced
especially in the first minutes of treatment using the gel covers.
5. There is the possibility that the client feels absolutely no
sensation during the whole treatment. This is normally produced
when it is worked at low powers and when the aim of the treatment
is not directly linked to the cutaneous circulatory trophic effect.
The fact of not feeling thermal sensation implies under no concept
that the physiological effects that generate the current of Capacative
Diathermia in the tissues are not being affected. The absence of
heat shows that not enough internal resistance is produced by the
different types of tissues that it crosses as to ascend the surface
as vasodilatation and activate the system of cooling by blood.
For this reason, the absence of heat in the treatment of AUTOMATIC
VITALTERM is very indicated in certain types of cases. If the client
doesn’t feel any sensation even at greater powers, it indicates
that it can present a paresthesia or anaesthesia of the treated
zone. This manifestation is characteristic of people that have had
alterations in the peripheral nervous system and in diabetics.
