    Video Transcript

    "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 herpes, 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."
