what is electrology

The Definition of Electrology:

Electrology is a FDA approved hair removal method that uses a small probe to deliver a low-level electric current to destroy hair growth cells in individual hair follicles. A trained electrologist inserts a thin wire into the follicle, which is located under the skin’s surface, and sends an electric current down the wire to the bottom of the follicle. This heats up and kills the hair root and follicle, preventing future hair growth and causing existing hair to fall out.

Course Description:

This course is designed to provide students with the foundational knowledge and practical skills necessary to become California-licensed electrologists. This includes proficiency in skill and also in taking and successfully passing the California Board of Barbering and Cosmetology Electrology exam. The program covers all aspects of hair removal, skin care related to electrology, and the use of various types of electrology equipment. Emphasis is placed on safety, hygiene, and effective communication with clients.
