skin Cancer
Aestheticians are sometimes the first people to see lesions that may potentially be skin cancer. There are two categories of growth: premalignant and malignant.
73
Premalignant
Similar in appearance to malignant growths
- -they can be either flat, or raised in a regular in shape and border
- the border sometimes have a notched or flowery look
- the color is a regular, and can be shades of black, brown, red, blue, or white
- the growths are often asymmetrical and more than 6MM
- common premalignant growths on the skin or actinic keratosis
74
Malignant growths
Cancerous
- these growths having a regular border or bleed often
- they do not heal well
- Color is irregular and can be shades of black, brown, or red
- they can occur anywhere on the body
75
Common skin cancers
Three common skin cancers are basal cell, carcinoma, squamous, cell, carcinoma, and malignant melanoma
76
Basal cell carcinoma
A malignant lesion

- can occur anywhere on the body, but typically in sun, exposed areas, such as around the nose and eyes
77
Squamous cell carcinoma

80
Look
Use a magnifying lamp & wood's lamp
- CLEANSE SKIN, COVER EYES, AND USE GLOVES
- start at forehead, look at entire face, ears, neck, and upper chest

- use pressure on various parts of the face to test sensitivity
- feel for unseen lesions within the skin
82
Skin analysis equipment
The look, touch, ask method refers skin analysis equipment. This equipment ranges from magnifying lamps to complex computer scanning programs. A successful skin analysis starts with learning to use basic equipment, such as a magnifying lamp and woods lamp.
82
Woods lamp
Essential for skin analysis. The black light color eyes does the different areas of the skin to educate different conditions as follows
Blue white fluorescent: normal, healthy skin
Purple fluorescent: dehydrated skin
White fluorescent: thick, corneum layer, spots of dead cell build up
Yellow, pink, green fluorescent: signs of bacteria, fungus
Brown: pigmentation, dark spots in sun damage dermal pigmentation shows of lighter in color than epidermal pigmentation
Orange fluorescent: areas of active oil production shows a small dots in active sebaceous glands
82
magnifying lamp
Prevents, lighten, magnification, limbs can be mounted to the wall, hook to utility cart, or may sound independently on especially designed base. When, using the lamp, cover the clients eyes with the iPads, and then turn on the lamp in position over the clients face.
83
Key uses of a magnifying lamp

- performing extractions
- performing brow shaping
- performing lash and brow tinting
- applying lash enhancements
84
Skin scope
Used for consultations within a retail setting prior to the service and before using a magnifying lamp
85
Wood lamp key uses
Validating skin type
Identifying dermal versus epidermal pigmentation
Identify possible infections
86
skin type characteristics
Skin type in classify skin based on oil production. Each person skin is different. Are genetic predisposition, determines our skins type, number of pores and oil production
87
Normal skin type
Look: small pores, T-zone pores may be medium, no black heads or blemishes, smooth texture
Ask: oil, production: throughout face, does not appear oily
Touch: thick skin with good elasticity
Usually young clients
88
Combination skin type
Look: mix with medium/large pores throughout tea zone. Areas of roughness on cheeks, outer face, shiny T-zone
Ask: oil production in T-zone
Touch: thick skin on cheeks. Salmon, skin around eyes and forhead
88
Dry skin type
Look: small pores, flaky areas
Ask: oil, production: little to no oil production throughout the face
Touch: possible, thin skin throughout face, rough, uneven texture
89
Skin type one
Skintone is very fair, Ivory, generally with red or blonde hair.
- always burns, peels, never tans
- nourthern eurpoean
89
Oily skin type
Look: large, pores, orange, peel, texture, overall, shiny look, comedones, possible acne
Ask: oil production throughout face into hairline
Touch: thick skin
