There are several types of sleek machines which perform the same function. These are classified based on the strength and type of treatment they provide to their customers.
Radiofrequency sleeking machine
This sleek machine uses wave signals that cannot be heard by the human ear to create heat in the dermis layer of the skin. The dermis layer is below the visible surface of the skin. The dermis layer contains fibrous tissue composed of collagen elastin. RF waves are commonly found in radio and tv broadcasting, cellular phones, radar, and satellite transmissions. Since this method works deep within the skin, it will cause an immediate effect on the skin where the collagen and elastin fibers will constrict.
Ultrasound sleeking machine
This sleek machine also penetrates deep into the skin layers but does so by using sound waves. It generates waves in the 1 to 3 MHz frequency range that cannot be heard by the human ear. The machine uses a wand that dermatologists place on the skin and moves around to generate the sound waves. The wand is coated with gel that reduces friction and prevents burns. Ultrasound sound waves shake and vibrate fat cells trapped in pockets throughout the body. Dermatologists usually target areas with fat deposits like the belly, thighs, and back. It takes about 30 minutes for the treatment to cover each area, although larger body parts may take longer. Patients seeking treatment on more than one area of the body should expect to spend at least an hour in the doctor's office for the ultrasound sleeking treatment.
Galvanic sleeking machine
This sleek machine utilizes low electrical currents that are less than 2-4 volts. The current provides deep cleaning of the skin and drives nutrients and other topical substances into the skin through a chemical reaction. Galvanic facial machines use negative ions to cleanse and tighten the skin. It works by introducing the negative ions into the pores of the skin where they attach themselves to the positively charged impurities, dirt, and oil work within the skin. This releases the impurities and cleans the skin. The negative ions are also used in the desincrustation technique. This technique uses a medicated foaming cleanser with a negative galvanic ion embedded into it. The cleanser will then be placed on a medicated spatula. The spatula will then be moved around the face so that the negative ions and the cleanser will seep into the skin. The cleanser and the ions will create a lather within the pores that will desincrust and release the dirt and oil trapped within the pores.
High-frequency sleeking machine
This sleek machine uses electrical currents to treat various skin problems, including acne, dark circles, and wrinkles. It improves blood circulation, eliminates toxins, boosts collagen production, and kills bacteria. High-frequency machines are often found in salons and spas to treat various skin issues like dark eye circles, acne, enlarged pores, and wrinkles. Their antifungal, antibacterial, and antiviral properties are especially useful in treating acne-prone skin.
Sleeking machines are of different types which, in turn, are suitable for different uses in different industries. The sleeking machine refers to the machine used in the process of sleeking, which means cutting or trimming hides or flesh of animals.
Skin sleeking machines in meat processing plants
In meat processing plants, skin sleeking machines are used to separate skin or hide from flesh in the most efficient and safest manner possible. They streamline the process of skinning or hide removal to enhance the productivity of the operations and reduce the health hazards to workers.
Lithography machines in semiconductor industry
In the semiconductor industry, sleeking machines are used in the photolithography process to apply masks to cover areas of semiconductor wafers during integrated circuit manufacturing. Photolithography is a key step in semiconductor fabrication that creates the physical features of integrated circuits on the wafer. Any defect in photolithography will impact the performance of the semiconductor.
Sleeking machines in glass industry
In the glass industry, a sleeking machine is used to polish the glass to make it appear sleek and classy. The machines use revolving felt wheels charged with slurries of fine abrasive materials like pumice and rouge. They combine rapidly rotating wheels and felt pads to rapidly polish and create a sleeker finish on glass provided an abrasive output necessary for heavy or commercial glass polishing.
Sleeking machine in printing industry
Sleeking machines in the printing industry apply thin coatings or "sneaks" of materials across large, web-style stocks for various roles including inks, adhesives, and surface coatings. These machines help in making the stocks ready for other treatments or for making finished products.
Sleeking machines in textile industry
Sleeking machines in the textile industry are used in the fabric finishing process to create a smooth and shiny surface on the fabric. Sleeking refers to the process of bringing the surface fibers of fabrics into close contact with each other in a straight position to obtain a more lustrous or sleek surface. Sleeking machines use metal rollers at elevated temperatures to flatten and polish the fabric surface, thereby improving its appearance and tactile properties.
Sleeking machines in manufacturing industry
In the manufacturing industry, a sleeking machine is used to put a thin coating or "sleek" of materials across large, web-style stocks for various roles including inks, adhesives, and surface coatings. These machines help in making the stocks ready for other treatments or for making finished products.
Sleeking machines in cosmetic industry
Sleeking machines in the cosmetic industry are used to apply thin layers of treatment products such as foundation or smoothing serums. These machines help in evenly coating the treatment products to make the skin feel sleek.
The main feature of any sleek machine is that it consists of key components that make it operational, and its efficacy is governed by various specifications such as technical specifications.
How strong is the motor
Sleeking machines are fitted with different types of motors depending on the purpose and the type of the machine. For instance, high-frequency motors provide quick strokes for treatments while other areas may need stronger but slower motor movements.
Adjustable speed settings
There are various speed settings that can be adjusted depending on the area of operation. For example, in cosmetic treatments, speed ranges may be set differently depending on whether the client's treatment is ultrafacial or in facial lifting, etc.
Power source
Many sleeking machines are made with electric power sources, but some are mobile, meaning they use batteries.
Electrodes and probes
In the case of sleek machines that involve RF or ultrasound treatment, these machines are equipped with electrodes or probes. These differ in size and shape, depending on the region to be treated. For instance, smaller electrodes are meant for treatment on the facial area while larger ones are for body contouring.
Control panel
Sleeking machines have control panels containing buttons or screens that adjust the parameters of the machine such as speed, intensity, and duration.
Waterproof
Since sleek machines are used in different industries, they need to be made water-resistant to avoid damage.
The use of a sleeking machine differs based on the animal's skin where it will be used. The general procedure includes the following steps, while being very cautious not to inflict pain on the animal or leave cuts on the skin/reduce the amount of blood that will ooze out.
Turn it on
This is the first step in using any sleek machine. After turning it on, the operator should choose the appropriate speed and intensity level depending on the area to be treated.
Preparation of the skin
Before applying the machine, the operator should ensure the skin is clean. In cosmetic-aesthetic treatments, a gel or serum is applied to facilitate the movement of probes and to provide additional nourishment.
Application
After preparing the skin, the operator gently places the probe or electrode of the machine on the starting point of the treatment area, then glides it in upward motions.
Adjustments
During the treatment, the operator should always pay attention to the client's comfort level and, if necessary, make any adjustments in intensity or speed.
Post-treatment care
After the treatment is complete, the operator applies a soothing gel or cream to calm the skin and provide hydration.
Regular cleaning of the sleek machine
Cleaning the sleek machine after every use ensures that the machine is clean for the next use. After each use, the operator should clean the probes, electrodes, or attachments with an alcohol-based disinfectant to kill bacteria.
Check gel
For cosmetic sleeking machines, the gel used should be checked to ensure it is suitable for the customers' skin type and is the required consistency.
Maintenance of power source
Poor performance of the sleeking machine may be due depletion of battery or power source used. This means that the battery or whatever is used as the power source should be checked occasionally.
Proper training equals safety
Sleeking machines are powerful tools but have to be used effectively. Proper training and certification in handling the sleeking machine will reduce accidents and injuries, increase efficiency, and enhance the aesthetic value of the animal.
Proper preparation of client/safety
Clients have to be prepared by ensuring they are comfortable and advised to avoid consumption of alcohol or caffeine before the treatment.
The probe has to be sterilized/sanitized
To avoid cross-contamination, sanitizing probes or electrodes before applying them to treatment is important.
Adjusting the intensity to the client's needs
The amount of intensity to be applied in the treatment should be adjusted based on the client's needs and skin type. Clients with sensitive skin will need less intensity. Therefore, consultation is required to know the client's skin type and any health issues they might be having.
Hand hygiene is a must
Just like any other health professional, animal aestheticians need to apply proper hand hygiene by washing hands with soap and running water or using alcohol-based hand sanitizers.
Laser/sleeking machines can be used in cosmetic treatments such as body contouring, skin tightening, and cellulite reduction.
Frequent cleaning, power source checks, and regular professional maintenance are necessary for maintenance.
Hygiene, certified staff, skin assessment, good quality equipment, monitoring of clients during and after treatment, and consultation with a doctor prior to treatment are quality and safety considerations.
Probes should be sterilized and sanitized before treatment to avoid cross-contamination.
No. It is advisable to avoid using a sleeking machine on broken or damaged skin but rather consult a doctor first.
