What is the term for an electronic facial and scalp treatment?

  1. Cataphoresis

  2. Electro therapy

  3. Iontophoresis

  4. Des-incrustation

The correct answer is: Electro therapy

Electro therapy is the term for an electronic facial and scalp treatment. Cataphoresis (A), iontophoresis (C), and des-incrustation (D) are all specific types of electro therapy treatments, but not the general term for the entire process. Cataphoresis refers to the process of infusing a substance into the skin using electricity, iontophoresis refers to the process of delivering medication into the skin using an electric current, and des-incrustation refers to the process of softening and removing debris from the skin using an electric current. Therefore, B is the most accurate and general term for an electronic facial and scalp treatment.
