What is "direct surface application" in the context of esthetic treatments?

  1. Applying a product directly on the skin without a spatula

  2. The esthetician holding the hand-piece

  3. Using a brush to apply a product

  4. Using high-frequency treatment from a distance

The correct answer is: Applying a product directly on the skin without a spatula

"Direct surface application" in the context of esthetic treatments refers to applying a product directly onto the skin without the use of a spatula. This technique allows for the product to be evenly distributed and absorbed by the skin. The other options are not considered direct surface applications in the same way; for example, using a brush to apply a product involves an intermediary tool, and using high-frequency treatment from a distance involves a different type of treatment altogether.
