A big concern as an electrologist is the wellbeing of the client and how, as an electrologist
we're trained in hospital protocol, sterilization and all the diseases of the skin, and illness
and there's a lot to know to be an electrologist. It's a medical profession that you go to school
for maybe up to a year in most cases, and after you graduate you do quite a few continuous
credits in education throughout the years and one of the things you have to be concerned
about is evaluating the skin. Now if a client has an eruption on the skin or an infection
there's different things, you don't want to treat around that area and you're going to
do a health history on the client to learn, do they have ***, do they have some contagious
disorder, and if they do you can, like say they have AIDS, you can treat a client with
AIDS, but you just have to be very cautious to use universal precautions and what that
means is gloves, eye wear protection if necessary if you're working with like permanent makeup
doing blood, and working sterilizing the area, sterilizing the equipment, keeping your tools
sterile, and there is a lot to do with sterilizing the skin of the client and you don't want
infection, you don't want disease and you don't want contamination. A big part of being
an electrologist is to know how to take care of those different factors.
