How should the vacuum be used on clients?

Vertical movements on dry skin
Slow horizontal movements on moistened skin
Fast circular movements on dry skin
Rapid up-and-down movements on damp skin

The correct answer is: Slow horizontal movements on moistened skin

Using the vacuum on clients is most effective when performed with slow horizontal movements on moistened skin. This method allows for a gentle suction that helps extract dirt, oil, and impurities from the pores without causing irritation. By maintaining a slow pace, the treatment ensures that the skin is not overly agitated and that the suction process is more controlled. Moistened skin can also enhance the effectiveness of the vacuum by making it easier to lift debris without causing damage to the skin barrier. Alternatives might include faster or more aggressive movements, which could lead to discomfort or potential skin irritation, particularly if the skin is dry. Therefore, slow horizontal movements on moistened skin provide a safer and more beneficial approach for both the esthetician and the client.
