Terms & definitions around laser treatments

• • Eccrine sweat gland
    
  • thermoregulators of the skin helping to build up the protective acid cover
  • of the skin
  • Eczema
    
  • synonymous for dermatitis. Inflamed skin disease of either exogenous or
  • endogenous, allergic or irritative origin
  • Effluvium
    
  • is the dynamic procedure of hair loss leading to alopecia (see alopecia)
  • Eflornithine
    
  • is a medicament used to treat sleep diseases. It decelerates the synthesis
  • of substances which are important for the regulation and differentiation
  • of hair follicles. A successful treatment needs permanent and regular
  • (daily) usage of the drug-containing cream. Many eflornithine containing
  • preparations are offered as “hairfree gels”.
  • Elastin
    
  • part of the skin’s tissue, i.e. part of the elastic fibres necessary for
  • the tension and elasticity of the dermis
  • Electroepilation, epilation with current
    
  • a tiny needle enters the hair follicle up to the hair root and destroys
  • the hair with a short current impulse. The success of needle epilation
  • mostly depends on the routine of the beautician. Only correct operation leads
  • to permanent results. The needle epilation is not dependent on hair or
  • skin colour. There are several methods: thermolysis, electrolysis, blend
  • method
  • Electrolysis
    
  • a galvanic current is led to the hair follicle creating soda lye, which
  • leads to the chemical destruction of the surrounding tissue.
  • Electron
    
  • subatomic particle of negative electric charge
  • Electron microscope
    
  • microscope using electrons instead of light
  • Electrostatic balance
    
  • stabilized condition after treatment of hair; same number of positive and
  • negative charges inside the hair
  • Electrostatic charge
    
  • electric charge induced by rubbing material of different electrical forces
  • (e.g. comb and hair)
  • Elliptic/Ellipticity
    
  • except in Asiatic hair, the cross section of most hair is not round shaped
  • but elliptic. The ellipticity is defined as the ratio between the length
  • of the short and the long cross section axes (i.e. the ellipticity of
  • hairs with round shaped section is 1, in completely elliptical hair it is
  • 0.5)
  • Endocuticula
    
  • layer of low sulphur content in each cuticula cell
  • Energy reserves
  • Energy suppliers
    
  • are all the elements of nutrition delivering energy to maintain metabolic
  • functions (e.g. saccharides, proteins, fats).
  • Enzyme
    
  • proteins built in animal and plant cells which mainly influence the
  • metabolic functions inside the organism
  • Epicutanous supply
    
  • ingredients inside a carrier molecule suited to entering the organism from
  • outside (e.g. cosmetic lotions)
  • Epidermis
    
  • Greek; upper layer of the skin
  • Epilation
    
  • (lat. pilus = hair) describes permanent hair removal by destroying the
  • hair papilla. The following methods are distinguished: needle epilation,
  • laser epilation and epilation with intense pulsed light.
  • Epilation cream
    
  • epilation creams most often work on the basis of so-called thioglycolates
  • leading to the chemical dissolution of the hair structure and thus
  • breaking off the hairs. After a maximum of two weeks’ time, hair is
  • visible again. Side effects are skin irritations and rarely contact
  • allergies.
  • Epithelial sheath
    
  • lines of cells which form the hair canal
• • Erythema
    
  • inflamed, red skin due to an increase of blood flow, e.g. as consequence
  • of a sun-burn
  • Essential
    
  • life-keeping, necessary
  • Ester
    
  • organic compound of acids and alcohols after splitting off water
  • Ethnic
    
  • of race or  particular cultural
  • group
  • Eumelanin
    
  • naturally brown-black pigment
• • Excessive charge
    
  • excessive negative or positive electrical charge at/in the hair; damaged
  • hair has a negative surcharge
• • Exogenous conditions
    
  • all kinds of natural exogenous influences as sun, humidity, mechanical
  • abrasion
