Which aspect of catephoresis helps minimize discomfort during treatments?

  1. The use of hot water

  2. The gentle electrical stimulation

  3. The application of scented oils

  4. The use of scrubbing techniques

The correct answer is: The gentle electrical stimulation

Catephoresis involves the use of a gentle electrical current during skin treatments, which helps to transport substances into the skin more effectively. This method is particularly designed to be less invasive and more comfortable for the client. The gentle electrical stimulation allows for a smoother application of products, reducing the potential for irritation or discomfort that might arise from more aggressive techniques. This gentle approach maximizes the benefits of the treatment while ensuring that the client experiences minimal discomfort, making it a preferred choice in esthetic procedures.
